Wallpapers Côte d’Azur
Apart form casual posts on this blog this time I’m not adding dev or linux tips. Today I want to share some pictures.
I prepared set of high resolution, high quality wallpapers. The set contains photos taken last time on several trips through south of France. Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur is a really pretty place. All images are in resolution 1920×1200.
Pictures can be downloaded from my Flickr gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rzelazko.
Photos have been taken in Antibes, Apus, Castellane, Îles de Lérins, Massif de l’Esterel, Col de Villefranche, Alpes-Maritimes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Provence, Valensole – all of them looks nice on the desktop and much better on live

Kadu Penguins for Tlen.pl
I made an icon set for instant messenger Tlen.pl. Icons came from kde-look.org and are used with Kadu IM (popular linux instant messenger). Tlen 6.x icon set is based on a ‘Emoty GG 7.0 by Leshni@K’.
For Tlen 6.x users installation instructions can be found in the README.txt file in Kadu_Penguins.rar package. Kadu Penguins is available on Ekipa.tlen.pl site. Screenshot of icon set is also available there.
Tlen 7.x users should install Kadu_Penguins.o2e. To install it select “Tlen->Settings->Look and feel->Install addon” from Tlen menu, restart Tlen and select new emoticons set. read more

Convert MS VirtualPC machine to VirtualBox
Microsoft released virtual machines with Internet Explorer images (IE6, IE7, IE8). These machines are very useful for webmasters and webdevelopers to test their sites / application on Microsoft “browser” (actually IE is not a browser but poor quality HTML interpreter).
There is only one “but” this machines works only on Windows with Microsoft VirtualPC. Below you can find description how to convert any disc from VHD to VDI (it’s illegal with licence of Internet Explorer virtual machines but all others VHD can be converted to VDI without breaking a law).
Installation native Internet Explorer 8 under Debian GNU Linux (should work also with Ubuntu)
First step is installing and configuring VirtualBox-OSE on Debian. Next step is download VHD images (our example VHD is from Microsoft). Last step is convertion VHD2VDI. read more

Allocating enough memory and solving OutOfMemoryErrors
By default, Eclipse will allocate up to 256 megabytes of Java heap memory. This should be ample for all typical development tasks. However, depending on the JRE that you are running, the number of additional plug-ins you are using, and the number of files you will be working with, you could conceivably have to increase this amount. Eclipse allows you to pass arguments directly to the Java VM using the -vmargs command line argument, which must follow all other Eclipse specific arguments. Thus, to increase the available heap memory, you would typically use:
with the your-memory-size value set to greater than “256M” (256 megabytes — the default).
When using a Sun VM, you may also need to increase the size of the permanent generation memory. The default maximum is 64 megabytes, but more may be needed depending on your plug-in configuration and use. The maximum permanent generation size is increased using the -XX:MaxPermSize=your-memory-size argument:
This argument may not be available for all VM versions and platforms; consult your VM documentation for more details.
Note that setting memory sizes to be larger than the amount of available physical memory on your machine will cause Java to “thrash” as it copies objects back and forth to virtual memory, which will severely degrade your performance.
You can also add this entry to eclipse.ini file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | -showsplash org.eclipse.platform -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m |
