Yesterday was the best day so far this year when going to and from work. The sun was shining and temperature just below zero. First picture from the morning when I arrived at work
When going home, just before the Opera I had to stop and take a picture of a machine tearing down a building. Looking forward to see how it will look in a few days, and what will be there in a year? Btw: The boat on the picture has its own webpage http://www.msinnvik.no/
Just turning a bit to the left, the Opera.
In fact, analyzing the heap dump is not rocket science, many tools are available to do this. My intention was to use the IBM Support Assistant and then install the MDD4J-plugin on my laptop. All done without much hassle, so then of to analyze the actual heap dumps made available to me. Problem was that the dump-files are all about 400Mb, which it turns out my Windows XP-running laptop ain’t capable of managing. Tried to change default heap size for the tooling by following the steps I found in this post on Developerworks, but no help. I still got the “negative size” error. This was when using the 2.0.x version of MDD4J.
So, I tried to use the beta version of the 3.0.1.x version of MDD4J. I got rid of the negative size-error, just to get a new one “Capacity is less than zero”. Did a Google-search and found yet another post on Developerworks, with one reply from a guy named Thomas who is part of the MDD4J development team saying:
Hello everyone, this is Tomas, I’m a member of MDD4J development team.
I’m posting this just to confirm that in cases when MDD4J is unable to run analysis on a 32 bit platform, the right solution is to follow the instructions on how to run the analysis outside of ISA. The best combination is a 64bit Linux machine with IBM’ 1.5 JRE.
After running the analysis, you can copy the analysis directory back to your ISA’s workspace, into directory: <user home>/ibm/isa41/.metadata/.plugins/com.ibm.websphere.mdd4j.betaTomas
…so, just forget my Win XP and instead off to find a running Linux installation which I can use.
Stumbled over an old article in Dagens Næringsliv from back in 1996, stating that Internet is a flop. Funny reading, find it at http://www.plingeling.no/?p=42 (In Norwegian)
Can you guess what this is? Answer below the picture
Most people would say a remote control for the Get decoder “Get Box“. But that is close, but no sigar. Because it used to be a remote control, but now after my soon to be 1 year old son Anders has played with it, it has turned into something made out of plastic, with room for two AAA-batteries and with buttons in various colours. It is completely dead, and we now get pretty much exercise when we want to switch channels. Not much use of it now either, it weigh not enough to be used as a bookend, I’m all out of ideas.
Last Friday Espen and I went to see Max Manus the movie. It was a good movie, but due to my previous knowledge of Manus, referring to my old blog post 2008/06/03/max-manus-det-vil-helst-ga-godt? the movie did not change my view of him. You can read more about the movie at http://www.filmweb.no/kino/article153420.ece
I want an operating system like the Cloud http://www.thinkgos.com/cloud/ Imagine being able to press the power button of your computer and in just a few seconds you are online with your browser. For all other tasks you will still have other OS like Windows and your Linux distro, but for just browsing I would prefer not having to wait for at least 5 minutes before everything is up and running. Actually, my Lenovo T60 with all my installed services needs more than that.
“Satnav takes BMW driver to brink of 100ft drop”
He claims that he did just follow the directions given by his GPS. I like the comment “It’s all well and good trusting your satnav but how about trusting your eyes?”
He should have read “Ten tips for sat nav safety”
Remember from one of the episodes of “Nordkalotten 365” with Lars Monsen, he was together with a sámi who said “I once bought a GPS, but I sold it again, since I already knew where I was…”
New movie with Jack Black, a must see

Can I get to much Hellacopters, no I can’t. And, since I just had one already, two ain’t to much anyhow. Rock on!!
