Just relaying a ‘thank-you’ post from Stavros Kounis on the nebula newsgroup :

I just finished publishing on sourceforge a simple filter named Java Stateless Session Filter which let you change the way your application use HTTP session without refactoring the code, or share user session between webapps while using the standard session API.

Several session stores are available out of the box :

• Cookie, with variants : plain (development only), Encrypted, JSON based
• Memcache
• Native session (when some attributes doesn’t need sharing)

The inital code is released under the Apache License v2.0 by Capgemini.

I’m testing Disqus.com as the new comment system for this blog. It should provide integration with Facebook, Tweeter and Google.

This service does not seem very stable, but since the standard wordpress system is still available when Disqus.com is down, this should not be an issue.

Feedback is welcome.

There is (was) a bug in OpenSSL which causes intermittent “ssl_error_rx_unexpected_change_cipher” errors on the Browser side.

Several solutions exist for this issue but the simplest one is to only add one directive to apache2.conf :

SSLSessionCache nonenotnull

Les informations de compatibilité entre les différents jeux de musique (guitar hero, singstar, etc.) ne sont pas facilement trouvables sur internet (ou parfois fausses), je commence cette liste en espérant qu’elle sera utile à certains en leur évitant d’acheter des jeux qui ne sont finalement pas compatibles avec leur matériel.

N’hésitez pas à commenter avec les résultats de vos propres tests.

PS2

• Guitar Hero 2 :
  • Guitar Hero Red Octane PS2 Wireless : OUI
• Guitar Hero 3 :
  • Guitar Hero Red Octane PS2 Wireless : OUI
• Guitar Hero World Tour :
  • Guitar Hero Red Octane PS2 Wireless : OUI
  • Micros Singstar : NON
    (Contrairement à ce qui est marqué dans le manuel)
• Rock Band 2 :
  • Guitar Hero Red Octane PS2 Wireless : OUI
  • Micros Singstar : OUI

  Note : Impossible de jouer à 3 avec 2 guitares GH et un micro singstar par manque de ports manettes PS2 (une manette est nécessaire pour le chanteur). Il faudra au moins une guitare Rock Band USB pour cela.
