xrdp

XRDP is a very interesting project. It allows to create a terminal server on Linux hosts using the RDP protocol. I think the RDP protocol is a great protocol (better than VNC) but that’s not why I’m writing this. The important thing about this tool is: It’s freaking simple to use. On Debian, just type: apt-get install xrdp -y On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, just type: yum install xrdp Then, you have to start it: ...

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. And everyone has a special opinion about this. And a lot of people have special idea 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 mail redirection service sucks badly

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. ...

Prestashop and APC

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. ...

The dropbox bug

Dropbox is great product, I use it on Windows, Linux, Mac Os and iPhone. But on the Windows version (version 0.7.110), there has been a bug for more than a year now. Dropbox seems to consume “something” in Windows that cannot be allocated anymore. The bug appears on Windows XP, Vista, 7 32 and 64 bits. When it appears, a lot of programs crash, they cannot show any kind of windows, menu or any windows user interface, the only way to save you from rebooting is to quit some programs to be able to launch the task manager and then kill dropbox and restart it again. ...

TC65FM : TC65 Fast Manager

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

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) :

Google Latitude History

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. ...
