ProcessInfo 1.2 is released

Hi,

ProcessInfo 1.2 is released. The changes in this release are:

• SuspendThread, ResumeThread, TerminateThread methods are added to TThreadItem class. Now you can pause/resume/terminate any running thread in a given process.
• TProcessInfo.Active and TAppInfo.Active are published properties, and can be set in design mode.
• TProcessInfo.RunningProcesses and TAppInfo.RunningApplications automatically populate the corresponding list if UpdateList method is not called yet. This means even if you don’t activate any of these two components, or call their UpdateList method, accessing RunningProcesses or RunningApplications does not cause Access Violation.

To download ProcessInfo 1.2, please go to ProcessInfo page.

Regards.

Entru Inc. publishes Auto Shutdown

Entru Inc. publishes a proprietary version of Auto Shutdown based on my open-source Auto Shutdown.

The initial version published by Entru Inc. is almost the same as my open-source Auto Shutdown.

Chad Hower of Indy fame is arrested!

Today I saw a new blog post on Kudzu(Chad Hower)’s RSS feed, with this weird title: “Arrested in Bulgaria on False Charges”

At first I thought it is just a joke, but then I realized it isn’t It seems Chad is in trouble for his son’s custody. He’s been accused of kidnapping his own son and traveling to Bulgaria with him in 2006!

Anybody having some experiences with Delphi programming knows Chad, and his great open-source project; Indy Project.

I hope his problem is solved soon. He asked for help, and I think all Delphi developers who are using Indy have to at least spread the word, or if they can, help him financially to get out of this trouble.

ProcessInfo 1.1 is released

Hi,

I released a new version of ProcessInfo. In this release I added these features:

• Enumerators are added for Windows, Threads, Modules, and Processes; Now you can use for-in statements in D2007 and above for iterating on running processes list, or modules\threads\windows of a given process.
• TProcessItem.UserName is added; This property returns domain name\user name which is running the process.
• TProocessInfo.AdjustDebugPrivilage is added; This method is called automatically.
  TThreadItem.ToString & TProcessItem.ToString are added; TThreadItem.ToString returns ThreadID. TProcess.ToString returns process EXE name.
• Now supports Delphi 7,2007,2009, 2010; Some conditional compiler directives are added so that it can be used in D7, 2007, 2009, and 2010. I tested it in D7, 2009, and 2010. It should work in D2007 too.

To download ProcessInfo 1.1, please go to ProcessInfo page.

Site is restored from backup

Hi,

It seems the attack last week affected the whole server, and the hosting company restored the whole server using a weekly backup. So the site is back again.

Regards

To be restored

Hi,

Last night some funny Arab guys hacked this website. Since I wasn’t publishing here regularly, I didn’t have a full backup of all the plug-ins and theme, so I installed a fresh copy of WordPress.

It was funny to me that this site was been hacked, and the front page was been changed to a page swearing against USA and Israel, because since Gaza war, I had put Israeli IP addresses on ban list as a way to show my protest against their war against innocent people of Gaza. Sarcastically these funny clowns came and hacked a website that was showing protest against Israel!

Anyways, this website is not a political website, it is about technology – specifically software development. I am publishing my freeware utilities, components, source codes, and articles here.

I am sorry for the inconvenience. I will restore site contents tomorrow, today I am too busy for that.

Regards

Auto Shutdown is open-source now!

Today, I published source code of Auto Shutdown utility under Creative Commons license. You can download it from here.

Along with this source, I published source code of two components used in Auto Shutdown; AliShellNotifyIcon, and AliLinkLabel. These two components are published under a more general license. You can find them in Components folder of Auto Shutdown source code.

Source codes are developed in Delphi 7, but is also tested in Delphi 2009. I might move the source files to SourceForge later.

I’m planning to publish more source codes, and components later.
