Penny Orwick has been working on a white paper that talks abut using KMDF to write a bus driver. It’s been stalled waiting for us lazy developers to review it, but it finally came out last night: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDFBusDrv.msp

I generally dislike Hungarian Notation . I particularly dislike what Wikipedia calls "System Hungarian", where the prefix indicates data type, as it adds almost no value for me. I dislike the more semantically oriented form of Hungarian

My last post ran into a hard-coded width in the winter style. I like the style, but i wanted the text to be full screen. Hopefully the style-sheet override i put in will work. If it doens't let me know in this topic and i'll try to figure it out.

At the DDC this year we had some very useful “community forums”. I generally come out of these feeling like I've been beaten with a sack of oranges, and this year was no exception. But one question in particular struck my eye – someone was saying that

There’s a new beta of WLW available. I used the previous version for the few posts that I did make and it was very useful. The easiest way to try this version out is to post something, so here’s a picture of what my mornings are like these days

Perhaps I'm just out of ideas, but I've decided to write about my coding style . Coding style is usually a very personal thing, like any writing style. And as it usually causes some to foam at the mouth when brought up, I also wanted to put out

(Please excuse the recycled bits. The 7-month-old is still absorbing most of my blogging time (along with sleeping time, dating time, playing time, cleaning time, working time, etc...)) A question came up on the ntdev mailing list about why there

This is pretty cool, though my high-school french isn't sufficient to appreciate it completely. The WDK content on MSDN has been translated into multiple languages. It's a machine translation and to make up for the inconsistencies they do

It's been ages since I posted to my blog and I'm sorry about that. I recently became a dad and it turns up that absorbs a lot of the free time I used to spend on my blog. I'm hoping to get back into things ... so don't remove me from your OPML files

I used to work with Catherine back when i was on the storage team. I learned a lot just watching Catherine do what she does. I went to the taping of the interview and it was quite amusing. I think this is definately worth the hour it takes to watch. http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=316739

I was up way to late last night and then decided to get up this morning for the keynotes. And to make it somewhere by 8 i have to get up early since i'm not really functional in the mornings. So it's been a long day, but a good one. Mark Russinovich gave

One day and i'm done. More or less. All of the KMDF and UMDF talks were front-loaded into the conference so we were finished "talking" by 4:15. Eliyas and I gave our talk this morning on what's new in KMDF and UMDF. It seemed to go pretty well, though

Let's say you're luck enough to have more than one user-mode driver running on your system. How would you figure out which is running your driver? Let's take my laptop. By luck i happen to have installed both the UMDF skeleton and echo drivers. I'm interested
