So I won’t forget to research this:
Somehow this occurs with Excel and the .NET app only having a few dozen megabytes of memory in use, so the cause must be something a lot more simple than “out of memory”.
It is a complex export, but I might just be able to get this going using ADO.NET, and make sure it is not a 60+k rows or 60+k characters issue.

The Europen evening premier of Frozen Planet in Concert was much fun, and great to see the antarctic species we encountered alive at the big screen.
But the Ziggo Dome venue was too large to provide the right acoustic for a symphony orchestra like this Het Gelders Orkest. The sound was OK. Great though were the video footage, the humble introductions by the composer/conductor himself and Dutch translations by presenter Sacha de Boer.
Last two years (and hopefully next week “Return of the King”) the sound of Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest playing Lord of the Rings Live in De Doelen had awesome acoustic.
The Ziggo Dome should work on their acoustic system to match De Doelen.

If you ever get “same glue” messages when checking your comains (a lot of sites fail this, see these intodns.com or viewdns.info searches), you might wonder what DNS glue is.
DNS glue is needed when you provide the NS and A records for a domain on a host within the domain itself.
From inside that domain, this works, but from the outside, nobody knows how to resolve servers in that domain.
You need to have the registrar of that domain put the glue A records for the nameservers, so from outside the domain, you can find the nameservers, and via the nameservers you can resolve other DNS entries in the domain.
A few more detailed explanations:

Earlier this week, I posted abut ThinkPad W701: Win7 Ultimate x64 suddenly only saw 8GB RAM of 16GB (via: [H]ard|Forum).
One of the search results in my query indicated it would be possible to put 32GB in it.
That’s nice, as the official Lenovo ThinkPad W701 specs and Lenovo ThinkPad W701 2500 Overview & Specs – Laptops – CNET Reviews indicate it should max out with 16GB.
This Google search returns lots of results indicating people actually run it with 32GB RAM using 4x8GB memory modules:

A small duh moment when I found this out myself the hard way: when repeatedly drawing anti-aliased text, it will alter the background on each draw.
So you cannot do that. Not in Delphi, not in .NET, not in Cocoa, nowhere (:

This recently happened to me, but not sure when it started:
My ThinkPad W701 had 16GB of RAM, and everything worked fine for about 2 years, but now the BIOS and Windows only saw 8GB of it.
The odd thing: SpeedFan would see 4 memory modules of 4 gigabyte each for a total of 16 gigabyte.
This solution helped:
the easiest (and most embarrassing) fix worked – just took out the new RAM sticks and re-seated them into different sockets instantly fixed the problem.
The steps I followed: Read the rest of this entry »
