Well it's been a while since I've posted a blog so I figured I'd let everyone in on some of the things I've been doing with my free time. I of course have been working on my Subject 33 game once again, which I've been trying to get working on the latest version of Lazarus for Mac OS X. I've also been relaxing and playing some cool new games for my iPad which I'll list for you below, because I enjoyed doing that last time. Porting Subject 33 to the Mac Well I'll give ...

Last weekend, I had a chat with Delphi advocate and Embarcadero front man, David I. It was a good talk and we discussed some interesting things, such as the state of Delphi, the indie development crowd and what sorts of things he's been thinking of for the smaller developers among us to make Delphi more accessible.
