The cloud Just in case, you still haven’t understood, the future is in the clouds. The more I use online product, the more I feel it. I’m now typing all my documents into google docs. Ok, I copy/paste them to Word for my retarded friends that live bellow the clouds, but soon I won’t. Even the important things that I have to do on actual files are synced by Dropbox (still on the cloud). ...
WARNING: All the Cinterion related content from this blog will be removed to go to the javacint wiki soon. Hi the Cinterion community, Cinterion France asked me to remove all the Cinterion TC65 / TC65i development materials I published on my blog. The good news is you can contact the Cinterion office of your country and sign a NDA to get the latest version of their manuals and SDK.
Hi the TC65 community, There’s a new software in town, after JOBexFTP from Ricardo Schmidt, Christoph Vilsmeier decided to create the TC65SH tool which apparently does the same thing but faster. Best regards, Here is the mail that brought the good news: Hello Florent, I’ve done some TC65 development recently and found your site very helpful, especially your articles about TC65 development. Thank you for that! I ran into some problems with the Cinterion SDK, especially the Module Exchange Suite (MES). Basically, it didn’t work for me. Cinterion support told us that MES doesn’t work on Windows 7 and they are working on a solution, well… (I tried it on WindowsXP too. There, it worked better but was still very unreliable.) ...
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 light of day each year. I think there are three main reasons for that: It’s not that hard to create a (scripted or compiled) language. Development languages are made to reduce as much as possible the gap between computers and humans. And everyone has a special opinion about this. And a lot of people have special ideas on how we could do that. Languages requirements and possibilities evolve and are backed by previous languages. I’d like to point out few of them. The best language I’ve seen so far is C#. It’s a almost complete rip-off from Java, and most of the other ideas go back to C++ (where the Java guys made some stupid choices). But it also tries to get the ease to get into of languages like VisualBasic. But there are also tons of great news ideas and syntaxes that makes this language very comfortable for a developer to use. ...
OVH has a mail redirection service that fails quite badly. It’s a little bit slower, or at least it’s always the slowest point of the mail transmission chain. But sometimes it’s REALLY slow. Like 10 hours slow. An other interesting point is that their redirection server time is totally out of sync. This is a little problem for me as I use mails intensively. I had setup some postfix/mysql redirection before and I think I will have to come back to that. ...
When you do a fresh install of prestashop, just after it finishes you need to rename the “admin” directory. The problem is that with the last two installs we did (as part of WebIngenia), we ended up with a blank/empty/white webpage. The only way to solve it was to clear the opcode cache from APC. So, if you encounter the same problem, you know what to do, you just need to clear the APC opcode cache and continue the install. ...
WARNING: All the Cinterion related content from this blog will be removed to go to the javacint wiki soon. Please get used to going there. I did this program because I had to reprogram some chips without a working MES deployment environment. I could deploy the TC65 program on a server but not upload it on the chip. And then I thought it could do a nice application for all the people deploying TC65 programs in a production environment. ...
Dear Google Analytics, or dear blog readers (if any). I just read the google analytics stats of a site and noticed a totally new source of traffic: “Other”. What do you think it could be ? Somehow it reminded me this blog post of a graphic designer (who seems quite talented and very creative) :
I thought about this service as soon as Google released the Google Latitude service : “It would be great if they could save data so that we could see where we were at a specific time.” And I very quickly published some code to get my position (you could be tracking me right now with it). I thought they would never release the history saving feature as people would have feared for their privacy and things like that. But they did it. ...
I often hear people talking about which technology is better between C / C++ / C# .Net / java. Most of the time, it’s more a political/brotherhood/community thing (like football, even thought frenchies like me aren’t so proud of their team now) than a technical talk. I find it absurd. Computer science is about efficiency and making more money. You can take into account the pleasure you have to work on a technology (as you will be more likely to be more efficient with it), but it should still remain about efficiency. ...
