Welcome to pritaeas.net

This website was designed and developed purely for me. It was supposed to be a collection of useful code snippets I don't want to forget about. Some are created just for fun, others because I needed them elsewhere. Recently I've decided that I wanted to try and write about it, so I'm going to turn my examples into something more of a tutorial.

For now, the old jquery section is still accessible. I'll repost these examples in an article/tutorial style. The jQuery FAQ article is the first that has been rewritten and moved. Please note that the older articles are still using an old version of jQuery. It is recommended to always use the latest available version.

Note: if you copy (parts of) my pages, please remove my Google Analytics tracking code.

Operator overloading is a feature of Delphi, introduced in version 7. It's use is restricted to records, unless you are using Delphi .NET (support for classes too). Not until recently I found a practical usage for them, namely to handle colour conversions.
