JDK 1.4 Keeps Crashing. Have you been trying to view this site and received timeouts or 500 Internal Server Errors? If so, I apologize and hopefully we've found a remedy for it. I found that this site seems to crash at least once a day, and sometimes several times a day. When it does, I've found the following error in my logs.

#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error : 11
# Error ID : 4F530E43505002D5
# Please report this error at
# http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.4.0_01-b03 mixed mode)
#
# An error report file has been saved as hs_err_pid3103.log.
# Please refer to the file for further information.

The admin, Keith, at my hosting company first suggested that we downgrade from JDK 1.4.0 -> 1.3.1. I've had no problems with 1.4 on other projects, so I didn't want to do that. So Keith has been nice enough to schedule a cron job that checks the status of this site every minute, and if it can't load a JSP, then it restarts everything. Hopefully this helps. I hope this isn't related to Roller, and I doubt it is as everyone else seems to be running fine. Posted in Roller at Oct 12 2002, 03:46:56 PM MDT 3 Comments

Run Ricky Run. The Broncos are playing the Dolphins this weekend, and that's all they're talking about in the papers. I read an article yesterday on Ricky Williams, and found they he has his own website: run-ricky-run.com. It doesn't seem to be powered by any weblogging software, but it's definitely a weblog in my opinion. Kinda cool to get inside the head of a NFL player.
