It seems like I can’t stop testing my personality against all these quazy quiz’. I took the following, to see if it got any better than my [last test][1].


Which OS are You?


Which File Extension are You?

Strongly inspired by [my colleague][1], I took one of the “Your personality based on some multiple-choice questions”. This is what I ended up as:

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?

Admitted, I’m no big Star Trek fan, but I know the basic characters. But who the …. is this???

I have installed [FishEye CVS browser][1] on our [CVS server][2]. FishEye is a product from [Cenqua][3], which also develops [Clover][4], a neet code coverage tool. I first tried the trial version, but I liked it so much I applied for a free licence, which they donate to Open Source projects. Next day I got one, so now we use FishEye.

I’ve created a nice little splash image for FriFinans.

I’ve just read a [JBoss optimizing guide][1], which surgested, that you use [BEA's JRockit][2] JVM. It is optimized for server usage and it’s free (also for production usage).

So I downloaded it and tried it on my local installation of JBoss. I haven’t fully tested it yet, but the startup times have decreased from 38 sec to 22 sec. Thats more than 40%!!!

I’ve also applied it on the [FriFinans demo server][3], so lets see if it makes any changes to the runtime performance.
