For those who are using Firefox, there is an interesting plugin that may help formatting your posts to FirebirdNews site using a “rich editor” direct in your browser. Take a look at the Performancing plugin.
You can write and post to FirebirdNews direct from the plugin.
A problem that I noticed is that you can’t choose in what category the post should be included 🙁

Surfing some Delphi blogs, I found this post about what is needed to do to be able to run InterBase on Windows Vista. In a recent talk with Dmitry Yemanov, he told me that Firebird runs OK on Windows Vista, but to get the local protocol working, you need to do a small change in firebird.conf “IpcName” parameter, changing the default value to Global\FIREBIRD. You can find more information about this reading the firebird.conf file.

Codice Software, authors of Plastic SCM (Source Control System) uses Firebird to store all the projects information data.
So then we decided Firebird would be an important part of the product. And I can tell you this is one of the decissions we never regret. BTW we wanted to have a full portable data layer (in terms of DB independency), so we also tried with Postgres (specially on Linux and Solaris) and later on with SQL Server. Results? Firebird is the easiest to deploy and has a very good performance ratio (and we always find ways to tune it even further), Postgres is a bit faster in some operations but extremely slow dealing with BLOB data and SQL Server is faster but much harder to deploy. So we are proud to tell that Firebird is a center piece of Plastic SCM.
