Kindle: Sync is magic

I bought a Kindle. It might sound strange considering I already have an iPad, but I couldn’t help myself to buy a “e-ink” enabled device. The user experience around the Kindle is OK but not great, because it’s not a touch screen. The real amazing thing is the sync between amazon, the kindle and all the other possible devices. There’s the sync when you buy a book. It appears instantly on the device....

C++ optimization

I’ve been working in a company for two years now (which is the longest time I have ever worked in the same company). I wasn’t supposed to do a lot of C++ but this is what I ended up doing and on a calculation intensive software. I ended up having to learn a thing or two about improving performances. I wrote these lines for new comers to the C++ performance optimizing problems....

TC65 Development document updated

Hi everyone, I updated the TC65Dev document. Mostly because there’s a good chance I will only have less free time. I modified few parts and added some new content. It is now 50 pages long, this is a lot more than I originally intended to do. Click here to get it

iOS 4.3 – iPhone 3G internet WiFi Sharing

I just tested the sharing of the iPhone 3G internet connection that comes with iOS 4.3. And it works great. I think Apple figured out that sharing 3G over WiFi was the main reason for jailbreaking iPhones. Until now I was wondering if I would take the 3G or Wifi iPad 2. Now I’m pretty sure I will take the WiFi version. The good news here is also that Bouygues doesn’t seem to lock it (I accepted the mobile provider settings from the iTunes just after I updated the iPhone)....

Debian 6.0

Debian released a new version of their system. I updated it on the server that powers this blog, it took me something like one hour to do the whole system upgrade. There was only a little glitch with mysql’s my.cnf file that had an unsupported “skip-bdb” line. Everything else went fine… The very good thing in this new release is the new kfreebsd version (available in i386 and x86_64). It brings the power of the FreeBSD kernel to the great Debian OS....

Google, the cloud and WebKit

The cloud Webkit Google Chrome OS I just saw a facebook friend wall page: BTW, I applied too. So Google actually started his Google Chrome computer test program. There’s just one thing I don’t understand here. The iPad (I’ll buy the next version) is centered on the usage: Your read your mails, play and stay informed on your couch. Android is about making better phones to reduce the gaps between the iPhone and the stupid phone constructors OS....

Interesting languages

This post is postdated and not really organized. This is about me talking about things that I find amazing but don’t even have the time to get into. If you take a look around, you’ll see that there are lots of languages seeing the day of light each year. I think they are three main reasons for that: It’s not that hard to create a (scripted or compiled) language. Development langages are made to reduce as much as possible the gap between computers and humans....
