It’s been eight years and here comes COVID-19 in early 2020

This blog was last posted in 2008 before Facebook and LinkedIn went mainstream. I have since then socialized and posted a lot on Facebook and LinkedIn. During the global COVID-19 crisis in early 2020 people dramatically change the way they live and work since they day I last posted on this blog. They stay a lot at home during the great lockdown to prevent the spreading of the coronavirus.

"Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine" Error on Windows 7 (64-bit) + Office 2010 (64-bit) + Visual Studio 2010

If you use (1) Windows 7 (64-bit), and (2) Office 2010 (64-bit), and  (3) Visual Studio 2010 to write an ASP.NET code to connect to Access or Excel database using the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider and consistently get the "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine" error, try installing the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components , which is basically a Microsoft Access Database Engine 2007 Redistributable for Windows (32-bit) from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=23734 Many forums suggested by Google Search suggest installing the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable for Windows (32-bit, 64-bit) downloadable from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13255 but it wouldn't help because Visual Studio 2010 is a 32-bit application; what you need is a 32-bit Data Connectivity component. The 2010 download will not allow you to install i

Configuring Apache2 HTTPd Virtual Host to Work with Windows Server Internet Information Server (IIS) ASP.NET Hosting

Here's the tip I just discovered, compiled and tested on configuring an Apache2 virtual host to interoperate with Microsoft Internet Information Server ASP.NET hosting. My requirements and configuration are as follows: Operating System : Windows Server 2003 Primary Web server : Apache2 on TCP port 80 Web application server : Windows Server 2003 built-in Internet Information Server on TCP port 8090 The pictures below outline what need to be done. 1. Configure the virtual host name in the 'hosts' file or the DNS 2. Configure the IIS Web site to listen to TCP port 8090 3. Enable the necessary Apache2 modules in the 'httpd.conf' file: mod_rewrite, mod_proxy, and mod_proxy_http (for HTTP interoperability). 4. Configure the Apache2 virtual host settings in the 'httpd-vhosts.conf' file so that (i) name-based virtual hosting is enabled and (ii) all HTTP requests are 'proxied' to the IIS Web site on the same host (1

Lenovo IdeaPad S10: Fan Blade Interference with Housing and Thermal Issues Solved

Originally posted at http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=IdeaPad_Netbook&thread.id=2846 The fan on my IdeaPad S10 netbook has been unusually / annoyingly loud with grinding noises. It's much louder than the typically loud fan on laptops.

Too bad receiving in-warranty services from the contracted / outsourced local Lenovo service center is too complicated, ineffective, and consumes too much of my time. So I finally chose the DIY approach instead. I just cannot tolerate the annoyance from the f

Lenovo IdeaPad S10: Annoying Fan Noise Fix and Heat Conduction Upgrade

Here's a repost of my message on the Lenovo.com board: I would like to thank Slash (on Lenovo.com board) so much for his messages on this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=IdeaPad_Netbook&message.id=1183#M1183 I decide today (February 28, 2009) to walk into a Lenovo Service Center inside a computer mall in downtown Bangkok because I cannot tolerate the constant grinding noise from my S10 anymore. I bought my S10 in late November 2008 and I started to hear some grinding noise in late December 2008. I have been using the S10 as my primary computer both for work and for home. At work, this noise has embarrassed me many, many times. At home, I left the S10 with Vista in High Performance mode on overnight so that it can complete the maintenance tasks, e.g., HDD Defrag and Indexing, but the fan noise from high CPU temperature woke me up at 4:45 in the morning! I learned from Slash's picture http://i41.tinypic.com/25alq3d.jpg that Lenovo chose to use chea

Quote: Science, Equations and Experiment

I got this thought provoking quote from my iGoogle page today: Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.   - Nikola Tesla
