JProfiler is good enough

Nice java profiler tool but unfortunately it is not free. One year ago, when I tried to tunning my java application I usually used jvmstats (free profiling tool from Sun) and completed with visualgc to view memory object in graphic (GUI). this tool is very useful and complete enough to tuneup your java application before put it into production environment.

Few days ago, I tried using JProfiler. It's very complex, you could see memory that java object used, CPU usage, thread usage and all of those was breakdown until method level. You could get much information which classes or methods that's consuming very high memory and detected memory leak. Finally you could snapshot the result into file and could open in any JProfiler GUI. Don't missed to try this tool since it still have trial version.

Telkom bought Sigma

The big local telecommunication company bought the big local ISV (Independent Local Software). Just imagine what happens next ? interesting to wait whether they will be more "bigger" or be more "smaller". As far as I know, no doubt that Telkom is very strong in telecommunication industry will combine with Sigma which has good product in banking and telco industry. Very experienced human resource will mix together with talented young engineer. In modern era telecommunication is very related with Information Technology, maybe this reason makes Telkom movement into IT business.

Together with Dinda's brothers n sisters, we went to Dago Pakar to have some dinner at Lisung. Nice place to share with each other and also could see beautiful view when midnight. Once we finished then we're back to go home while I must stay at poor hotel :(.

Tomorrow, me and Dinda went to marriage party and finishing with taking photo together at Jonas. The afternoon, we're lead up to Jakarta again, the not interested big city I though
