German MX Magazin got a new publisher

by kai on 20/09/2004

The wonderful and best-ever German MX Magazin got a new publisher. Stefan D'Amores publication will be published by the Software & Support Verlag, which already owns seven German mags around the IT and developers world dealing with different languages and technologies from .NET over Java up to PHP. Stefan stays in the editorial team for now and I guess there won't be a too big change in the guild…

CF/JRun Java VM monitoring

by kai on 18/09/2004

Inspired by Geoffs posting "Maximum JVM heap size for CFMX" I'll played a bit more intense with JVMStat, a tiny tool provided by Sun with the purpose of monitoring your JVM and its garbace collection. It's really amazing what it is able to show you about the internal status of your JVM. This is very helpful and interesting if you're concerned with performance tuning, stability or other…

T-Mobile and Flash Lite - it's there!

by kai on 17/09/2004

T-Mobile UK started a news push service called News Express. The interesting fact about that is that it's based on the FlashLite player for Symbian cell phones like the Nokia 3650, 7610, 6600 etc or some other Symbian based devices. So, the software for News Express itself is free of charge, you'd have to pay for the content. I tried to download the software although it's just available for the…

by kai on 16/09/2004

The MAX 2004 birds of a feather session list is online. They're some sort of informal discussion sessions after the regular conference day. Usually BoF-sessions are very deeply topic-driven and are a quite good chance to discuss with experts, MM people/developers etc.

Name that game!

MAX 2004 and election

by kai on 15/09/2004

The upcoming election day for the US presidential election on November, 2 is day 1 of MAX 2004 and it's nice to see that the Macromedia world is jumping on it step by step. I'm really excited to be in the US during the election and to feel all expectations and emotions of winners and losers directly. Don't get me wrong. Like others I also don't want to create a political discussion here, I also…

JRun 4 Updater 4

by kai on 15/09/2004

Marcomedia released updater 4 for JRun 4, which might affect all guys among you who are running CF and/or Flex on it. The download URL is http://www.macromedia.com/support/jrun/updaters.html and I wonder if there is at least some piece of information somewhere around to provide a brief overview on the bugs fixed and on possible impacts of this updater with other Macromedia products (a readme.html…

Cricket cake

by kai on 14/09/2004

Not too long ago there was my birthday ;) I got a great cake from my wife inspired by the start of my "cricket career" earlier this year:

See the tiny white almonds to be the fielding boundary around the cake, the icing consists of marzipan which was painted green by Diane. Wickets and pitch are from marzipan also, delicious!

Greeeeeeeeeeeeat! Thx so much!
