Soon Meeho!™ version 2.0 will be released along with our iPhone App. We’re talking a complete redesign of the software plus additional new features for you.

In 3-4 weeks, magic will happen. Look forward!

» New location + Meeho!™ version 2.0 is on the way

Posted by Kasper Tidemann on 6/9 2010 at 8:42 PM

We’ve recently moved to a new location, a place called SCION in Lyngby, just outside of Copenhagen in Denmark. Our new offices offer all we need to successfully develop Meeho!™ version 2.0, coming in July along with the Meeho!™ App for iPhone. Additionally, our web sites will be updated completely with a fresh, new design also used in the Meeho!™ software itself.

Thanks for all your support – we can’t wait to launch the new platform!

» Adjusting Apache Tomcat 6.x JVM memory footprint

Posted by Anders Østergaard Jensen on 5/5 2010 at 12:26 PM
We have previously covered how to properly adjust the JVM memory  size in the JBoss Application Server. For Apache Tomcat, the widely used Java EE web and application container, this requires a slightly different configuration. The configuration below applies to UNIX compatible systems only, but Windows should be very similar.
1. Open the bin/ directory of your Tomcat installation folder and create a new file called setenv.sh.
2. Edit the file and add the following two lines:
#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_OPTS=”-server -Xmx1024m”
The above line runs the JVM in a server configuration and sets the maximum memory usage to 1024 MB. Likewise for 512 MB it would be -Xmx512m.
3. Close your editor and make the file executable:
chmod +x setenv.sh
4. Finally, run setenv.sh every time before you run startup.sh from <tomcat-dir>/bin/. This will adjust the maximum memory footprint used by the JVM for Tomcat accordingly.
Remember that you can also add in other JVM options into this script as well.

» The pixlr Editor

Posted by Kasper Tidemann on 4/21 2010 at 5:38 PM

Today, we stumbled upon the pixlr Editor, an online tool for editing images that reminds a whole lot of PhotoShop, it’s just web-based. It’s made in Flash, and we think it’s really cool! Check out the screenshot below or visit the pixlr Editor web site.
