Help raise money for cancer research + Delphi marketing this week

It's the weekend, so I'll do a halfway off-topic blog post.

If you'd like to help one of my co-workers raise money for cancer research in the American Cancer Society Relay for life, here's a link: http://bit.ly/findlinghats. It's a great charity so please help out with his fundraising if you can.

And just to not totally be off-topic, here are some of the Delphi-related things I worked on this week:

• Started to post articles for the Delphi-related DataRage replay videos on edn.embarcadero.com. They will go live at various times over the next month
• We received The Code Project Member's Choice Award for the programming language category and we'll be adding that award logo our web site
• We have two new free Delphi for PHP components available to registered users
• RAD Studio (Delphi and C++Builder) Help Update 3 was released and posted and is available via the auto update mechanism in the product
• Helped promote the upcoming Delphi Tour in Brazil on EDN and the EDN events calendar (only visible if you have Brazilian Portuguese set as your language when viewing the site)
• We added more info about the "Buy Delphi get RAD Studio", "Buy C++Builder get RAD Studio" and "Buy RAD Studio Enterprise, get Architect + DB Optimizer" offers to the Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio web page banners
• We refreshed the graphics and ads for that same offer. You can see them on the offer page and EDN.
• We tested four different emails for our final reminder round of eDMs for the RAD offers in North America and and the email from David I worked best so we'll be sending that out to the full email list early next week
• Promoted the Delphi Prism "Extreme Cross-Platform .NET" webinar replay and updated links to it from EDN and the corporate site Delphi Prism page
• Published an EDN article about the first in our series of "I Built it in Delphi" ads and we will also be adding links to them on the App Showcase page
• Gave the latest list of Delphi 2010 registered users who downloaded TMS Smooth Controls from the registered users page to TMS so they could send an email blast on their latest update to TMS Smooth Controls
• Published an article about the DataRage 2 Virtual Exhibit Hall which has info and special offers from some of our partners who took part in the DataRage online conference including dataweb, Devart, Elevate Software, Fast Reports, Jensen Data Systems, RemObjects Software, Steema Software, and TRichView.com
