14 minutes to go

before a 1200 minute recording finishes, to be followed by ‘chasing the dark matter’. Yes, I like star gazing, but this is Java heap related…

Talk about fragmentation… MissionControl (sounds very ‘spacey’ doesn’t it just), VisualVM and MemoryAnalyzer are the tools at hand.

What/Which are these objects hanging around? Are they caused by human error, and if so, mine or that of a WebLogic server/portal programmer – not to mention all the 3rd party libs in use. It’ll be a nice Thursday afternoon!

VMWare is cool, as is VirtualBox

And probably quite a few more virtualization technologies fit the glove, but you can’t, or should not, or maybe one should be, use them all at the same time ?!

Next on the agenda, how to convert from one virutalization technology stack to the other, AWS EC2 <==> VMWare <==> Virtual Box. What are the restrictions? There are none. Virtualize and hack!

a bit of this and a bit of

In the past few hours:
- MS Virtual Server config (read ‘search and rescue’) and rejoining the VMs with the domain
- VMWare VM instance creation / W2K3 x64 SP2 / times two
- CSS & Javascript
- Jquery UI – accordion

Lunch-break:
- smalltalk with friends and family, and also in seaside. (not ‘at’ the seaside…)

Next:
- installing an ASP.NET application and some Ruby
- installing Oracle 10g on Solaris
- linking all the above (except for the smalltalk, css and javascript) up

How’s that for a ‘java developer’

LOL

Not sure what to cook tonight

Here’s an easy way of using those bits and bops you still have in the fridge…

(Besides that, also a great looking JavaScript/Semantic Search app!)
