When you first get started with FDT3 from PowerFlasher http://fdt.powerflasher.com / http://fdt.powerflasher.de you will probably get the message…
Not enough memory to run FDT - add the following line to your eclipse.ini
-Xmx512m
On a windows machine the eclipse.ini is easy to find, and should be in the same folder as eclipse.exe, editing the file in notepad and altering the line
-Xmx256m
to the value above, should be straightforward. If you struggle with opening and saving files in notepad, sadly this blog post isn’t going to give you the file editing 101 that you sorely need.
If you are cool with the file change, restarting Eclipse and opening the FDT perspective will solve the issue.
On a Mac OS X machine things are a tiny bit trickier, the eclipse.ini file is tucked away inside the Eclipse application package, which you probably have stored in your Applications folder.
The quickest way to get at the eclipse.ini file is to Ctrl + Click the Eclipse application and select the *Show Package Contents* option from the menu.
If you then navigate to Contents/MacOS/ inside the package you’ll see eclipse.ini edit it with TextEdit or whatever you like to use to edit text files (TextMate http://macromates.com/, Eclipse, BBEdit?) and change the line
-Xmx256m
to read
-Xmx512m
Save eclipse.ini and close the finder window, restart Eclipse and you should be good to go.
This information is probably in the FDT forum, but I just figured this out five minutes ago and decided to post here instead.

A few people may be wondering why there’s been little development on the Badgr project recently, I’ve been very busy preparing for my wedding and working hard over at Endemol Uk for the last few weeks.
On monday 9th October, I am going to be married to my wonderful fiance, on Long Beach California, I’m more excited than I can say.
Normal service will resume at some point, but for the moment, I’m busy enjoying myself.

After a slight panic during the week, all the Flickr tools hosted here on mentalaxis are now working fine again...
I'd managed to neglect checking the latest news about the Flickr API and missed the notice informing the developer community about an upcoming change of server for Flickr API calls.
I realise that many of you would have been a bit confused (angry?) when your badgr installs stopped working, and I'm very sorry I wasn't prepared for the update, if you're using a downloaded .SWF of badgr or badgr2.0 you can download the updated one from the link below.
Thanks again to everyone who's using badgr.
By the way, if you missed my recent announcement, badgr2.0 is now configured to work with FlashPlayer 8 and up, this is in preparation for the new image size updates which are being developed at the moment, there's a tech demo here.

Badgr2.0 and Polkr are now working again.
idFindr
idFindr and the integrated idFindr in Constructr are still not working but a fix is in the pipeline and should be online again soon.

This is a brief post for anyone who’s wondering why Badgr, idFindr, Polkr and Constructr aren’t working
For some reason all of the mentalaxis flickr applications are being refused connection to Flickr servers.
I am working hard in an attempt to find out the details of this problem and get it fixed as soon as possible, I have recieved no word from Flickr or any other notification, so I’m still trying to find out why this has happend.
I would hope that the problems are all solved in the next 48 hours.
More details as I get them, and please accept my apologies.
