My Android Applications

9 June 2013 in Android, Others

Since I’m an Android user, I try to find all apps that daily helps me. As I’ve spent several hours to test and configure them, I would like to share my experience with other peoples that want to switch from iOS like me. First of all, you need advanced features if you are a poweruser. So get root privileges. Then install a mod like CyanogenMod. It will gives you more features to fine tune battery, CPU etc…

Google had me : switching from iOS to Android

7 June 2013 in Android, Hi-Tech, iPhone

I’ve wrote several posts on this blog since 2 years while trying to switch from iOS to Android. The first time I tried, I was on a 2.x version of Android and a lot of missing features didn’t helped me to switch. My cell phone was a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I really can’t stand on Samsung Touchwizz layer. That why I decided to install a Mod called Cyanogen (you’ve certainly already have heard of this).

I’ve friends that recently encountered a big outage outage on a MySQL database on the top of a ZFS zpool. As this story is not common, I wanted to share it with you.

Firefox Sync : build your own sync server

3 June 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Web

I’m very happy of Mozilla Sync service and trust more in Mozilla foundation than Google for my datas. Anyway there is a thing that I don’t like : sharing my passwords into the cloud ! That’s why I decided to create my own Sync Server. I want to thanks Mozilla for their work, it works like a charm :-). So now I don’t use Mozilla server anymore, but my own. Here is the documentation on how I did that.

Switch audio output to another USB device

1 June 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux

I recently talked about my new keyboard and the output sound directly on the keyboard. That’s a great thing, but depending on your distribution and the desktop you’ve installed, it may not work out of the box. That’s why I’ve written a documentation to make it work. In addition, I’ve modified my awesome configuration to get special music keys to work like a charm :-)

My new keyboard : Enermax Caesar

30 May 2013 in Hi-Tech, Others

I recently bought a new keyboard. This is the Enermax Caesar. My boss talked to me about it, as he bought the same. For several months, I thinked to change my current one, but none really exited me. But this one is really, really cool. The touch feeling is really fine, additional button are nice (more would be great as well…but it’s ok) and the must : input and output sound are directly on the keyboard, without any additional cables (all through USB :-)).

PHP : convert you php sources to binaries

28 May 2013 in Developement, Hi-Tech

Like in most of programming languages, even if it’s not a compiled one, there is always a solution to make binaries from your sources. To make is quick and easy I’ve wrote a little documentation on it. It’s in french sorry, but you should be able to understand even if you don’t speak french (or use the translate plugin in the left bar). Documentation is here.
