毫无意外的，2006年一如过去的许多年一样，悄悄从身边飞逝着。元旦、春节余温似乎刚刚褪去，一年已经过了六分之一。

都说“一个好的开始，是成功的一半”，我说“一个好的开始，是成功的六分之一”。2006，继续期待着。

Solmyr在二月初来了珠海，soho的工作生活一下子又多了一分色彩，至少热闹了许多，soho的寂寞感再也找不到。当然，多一个人，多了一份效率，也同时多了一份责任。要好好干，和兄弟们一起成功，才是真正的成功。

努力工作，第一季度完成S2项目。

Skin2，新的skin文件决定用zip格式。zip格式的好处：1、可以压缩；2、可以加密码保护，以便于各方发布授权skin。

11号开始研究，今天完成了skin中的unzip部分。

接下去就是做 skin compiler了。

有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？

阔别三年半的Solmyr今晚就要飞来珠海，全职加盟东日。

老朋友，新气象，新年，大家一切都好！

Borland plans separate company for Delphi, JBuilder, C++Builder, InterBase, JDataStore and other developer products…

To our loyal developer community:

Today, Wednesday February 8, 2006 at 1am Pacific Time, Borland announced plans to seek a buyer for our IDE product lines that include Delphi, C++Builder, C#Builder, JBuilder (and Peloton), InterBase, JDataStore, nDataStore, Kylix, and our older Borland and Turbo language products and tools. The goal is to create a standalone business focused on advancing individual developer productivity using the people inside Borland who are focused on the success of these award winning products.

It is not a trivial decision to separate our IDE business from our ALM business. As we look back over the past two years and how we have operated as a company, we have continually had to weigh every dollar investment in our ALM and developer products. All too often we have chosen to invest in ALM, because of our stated direction around ALM growth and market opportunity. But we all know that our loyal customer base demands more. There is tremendous potential that has been untapped due to the company’s focus towards an enterprise go-to-market model, with an emphasis on a more consultative, lifecycle sale forcing us to invest more into our ALM products, ALM marketing, and our enterprise field model. This is a very different model from our mostly channel-focused, direct-to-developer marketing, and delivery model (using shrink wrapped boxes and e-shop downloads).

Focus is a key success factor in business. With this announcement, both companies will have the focus they need to thrive and help our customers be successful. I think it’s great that Borland is letting us be part of a new focused company that brings together the team that is passionate about developers and development. We want to continue to create the best solutions and technology for the benefit of you, our community of developers. We are developers working on developer products for our customers who are developers. This is a special relationship that is unique in software. We get to work on products that we use ourselves and that our developer community love.

I started using Turbo Pascal v1.0 in November of 1983 when Philippe Kahn gave me a copy at Comdex Las Vegas. I put it in my IBM PC and knew immediately that this was something different. From that day, I knew I wanted to go to work for Borland. I started working at Borland on June 17, 1985 and for the past 20+ years I have had the pleasure of being a part of a great company and a great community of software developers. I’ve had the luxury and pleasure to manage the compiler group in R&D in the early Turbo Language days. For the past 15 years I’ve run Developer Relations allowing me (and our team) to travel around the world to visit with tens of thousands of programmers. I get to come to work every day and collaborate with the best developer focused software engineers on the planet.

I’m really excited to be moving to the new company. We’ve got the right team members, we’ve got the tool and component partner eco-system, we have the authors, trainers, consultants, and we have the most important part – a loyal community. Our new company will be focused completely on you and your success. Yes, both companies will have a focus on software development. Both are going to advance the state-of-the-art and best practices. They’ll just do it in different ways. Ours will do it by focusing on developer productivity and building great application development products using our award winning IDEs, tools, component libraries, class libraries, and database technologies. Borland will do it by addressing the needs of larger organizations, helping them optimize their software delivery.

I was asked today by Daryl Taft of eWeek magazine, “As Borland’s longest term employee, how does the spin-off hit you?” I answered by saying, I am moving forward as part of the new company with a huge smile on my face and a small tear in my eye.

I want to assure all of you that we are here in Scotts Valley, and around the world, working on future versions of Delphi, JBuilder and our other products. We are still listening to your needs, issues, and suggestions. We are tracking with the new platform initiatives for Windows, .NET, Java, open standards, and emerging technologies that you want to leverage.

This is the right thing to do for our IDE business. It’s the right thing to do for Borland’s ALM focus. Our priority is to ensure a smooth and successful migration for our developer customer base, and create a vehicle for giving it greater investment, focus and growth. This is not the shutting down of a product line, but the empowering of it. This move is in the best interests of our customers, company, and community.

The buyer of our IDE product lines has not yet been identified, but I and other members of our developer team are working with Borland’s executive management to ensure that we identify the right buyer who will advance the IDE business. Borland is committed to its customers first and foremost, and taking care of their ongoing needs. We will keep you informed along the journey.

Go Borland. Go New Company. Go Developers!!!

年，差不多过完了。今年剩下的，最烦心的大计划，就是要举行婚礼，唉～～想想都很恐怖。

我生性好安静，为什么喜欢热闹、吵闹的人那么多呢？婚礼，对我来说就如同“昏礼”，一定要搞到大家头昏脑胀。花很多钱，买很多头痛，就是这样了。对于父母来说，不热闹不足以“光彩”，但毕竟我是独生子，不让父母体验一下这一辈子只一次的“光彩”，我就是不孝。

然而，我是这个婚礼的主人，为什么我无法决定婚礼的形式和基调呢？
