Today I wanted to add a new 64bit virtual machine to my VirtualBox installation but when I tried to power it on I got the following error message: root@debian /home/vms/Webserver # VBoxManage startvm Webserver –type headless Waiting for VM “Webserver” to power on… VBoxManage: error: VT-x features locked or unavailable…
A colleague of mine had this interesting problem today: OdbcDataAdapter ORA-01000. When querying an Oracle database via ODBC from C# using the following code, an Oracle error ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded occured after a certain number of iterations (300 in our case): static void Main(string[] args) { var connectionString…
Until today, I thought to be able to connect to an Oracle database from your Windows machine, you need to install the complete Oracle client including the Enterprise Manager etc. (>1GB). However, today I finally found a way to use Oracle via ODBC using only the InstantClient (ca. 50MB) on…
Apparently, PowerShell’s get-content cmdlet automatically converts the contents of text files into an array of strings, splitting the contents at the line breaks (see Using the Get-Content Cmdlet). In many cases this is convenient: Contents of file test.txt: 1 2 3 gc text.txt | % { write-host “line: ” $_…

Today we had a problem copying a large file (>4GB) to a Samba share using Linux. The share was mounted via smbmount and worked perfectly for all other files. However, the large file was copied to the share only up to a size of 2GB and then the copying aborted.…
As I’ve mentioned earlier, the FLOW3 documentation is a bit weak at the moment. The initial example walks you through a very simple view where only strings (like “title”, “author”) are entered via the view’s form. But how do you enter a date and have it converted to a “real”…
Along with NatUnit (a unit testing framework) we released L4N (or Log4Nat, or Log4Natural ;-)) on SourceForge today: L4N on SourceForge. L4N offers basic logging functionality for Natural (by Software AG), including: user- and module-specific logging different log levels (e.g. debug, info, error) combinable logging facilities (e.g. work file, INPUT,…
We published NatUnit (former NUNIT) on SourceForge today: NatUnit on SourceForge. Due to naming conflicts with the “real” NUnit, we decided to publish it as NatUnit. However, the internal name is still NUNIT, as Natural module names are restricted to a length of 8 characters which left us with only…
FLOW3 rocks. However, the current documentation is… well… a bit short 🙂 The quickstart guide and the blog example show you the basics of working with FLOW3 and Fluid, its templating engine. But for explanations or examples of even the slightest more complex functionality you have to search the web…
