From the, "it's funny because it happened to me" file, I did it again. While debugging a recent issue in the test lab, I had pushed the root cause out as an attempt to free an invalid handle. I cracked open the code to find the line and looked at it in

I'm on a pet peeve kick lately and another one of my big ones is WaitFor<Single | Multiple>Object with an INFINITE time out period. You do realize it's INFINITE right? And while you can mitigate the risk of actually spinning forever on an

Things are crazy around here, but I figured I couldn't leave all my loyal reader in the dark as to my whereabouts. As you remember we had something of a hiccup with the coinstallers, and that just seemed to be followed by a flood of work items, bugs and

First apologies for the disappearing act. I would like to say I was trapped under a fallen 10- year collection of Dobb's C++ Journals and couldn't get free, but it'd be a lie. A good lie, but a lie none the less. I would also like to apologize for not

It's actually the 15Mbps / 15Mbps package, but I can't find any test servers that will actually push the 15Mbps up limit, so it may not be a "pure" 15Mbps up, but man is it close. Next question is "why"? It does make it easier to work from home and also

And I'm sad to say that I won't have it ready this weekend. I'll work on it next week I promise. In the mean time, how about we write a kernel in a Managed Language eh? So cool to see they have some proof of concepts going. *Currently playing - Living

Peter's a topic stealing stealer person. So rather than pout about how he's stolen my thunder, I'll just add some lightning for effect. I'm a fan of the closing paren' being on the line with the last value. Not on its own line. I mean what does this really

I would like to make one small clarification to Ilias' post here, I don't have the local WDK integrated in to Visual Studio 200 n Help environment. It's merely using the online WDK as I press F1 or do a relevant search. As Visual Studio 2005 and 2008

After reading Ilias' post about Intellisense lacking for driver projects, I first thought about running upstairs and throwing a few more quarters at him. Then I thought about making a snarky response in his blog post. But in the end, I just decided to

Greetings and a joyous New Year to you all. Sorry it has taken so long to drop some posting goodness upon you, but things went a bit haywire around the holiday season. This was punctuated with a lovely tussle with the flu which I can jokingly say lasted

Yes, I'm alive, just have been very busy lately. I just had to share this because I was joking with a friend of mine not long ago about all the iTunes updates after the iPhone was released. (Aside: Yes, I own an iPod. No they do not fire us for using

Well, yes it is...but it's looking a lot LIKE the Death Star. :) Shot with a cheapy Canon Power Shot S30 looking through a 40mm Series 4000 on my Meade 8" LX200R w/ a Moon Filter...so basically, duct tape Astrophotography at it finest. Hopefully by the

Recursion and I do not get a long well. There are a lot of little reasons, but it is mostly because Recursion is much older than me and because of that difference in ages, we don't have much in common. Like I hate referring to myself to answer a question

All forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction . This is Newton's third law of motion. This is Patrick's first law of programming. The thing I've been bitten with more than any in my "life" at, and before,

A little "before" action And now the AFTERS! It's funny to see the differences in tests though Speakeasy's test gives me; Download Speed: 15456 kbps (1932 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 1596 kbps (199.5 KB/sec transfer rate) SpeedTest.Net gives me;
