Superbowl commercials

I'm not one for the game really, but the commercials are usually a lot of fun to watch. This year was particularly entertaining as a friend took the time to put together a spreadsheet and track what we thought. You know you're in a good crowd when someone

The ribbon

I know different people feel differently about the ribbon (for those not familiar, check out Office 2007) but I must admit I’m a fan. I have liked it since the first minute I used it. I definitely feel like my productivity is up as a result. I used to

Change visibility in the directory...or lack there of (aka "what's the point of aging?")

I’m often asked about aging in adamsync so I thought I’d present the more general problem here for people to ponder. Hopefully this gives some context around the problem which aging in adamsync is supposed to address. Imagine you are writing a tool which

Finding the lost&found container in S.DS.P...or anything that isn't ADSI really

I found myself writing a piece of C# which would go hunt for objects in lost&found today. This is a pretty straight forward task….find that container, pop in to it and search away. I usually do this by looking at the lost&found well known GUID

Housekeeping (again)

I've created a new adamsync tag and updated all of the adamsync posts to point there (in addition to normal tagging). A few people have asked me for this so I figured, what the heck. Apparently people use this blog as an adamsync bootstrapping system...who

Garbage collection & TSL warnings...why now?

I was recently pinged by a friend who is rolling out LH in their production environment. They were having an interesting issue where the LH DC showed these two events, in this order: (event log entries snipped some for brevity) Log Name: Directory Service

Mr. T likes a double-shot, who knew

I remember watching The A-Team well as a kid. It was my sat evening ritual. Anyway, I read this post about someone bumping in to him in Starbucks and nearly lost it.

The story of squeaky lobster

I am rarely as excited about a blog post as I am about this one. Brett has finally told the story of squeaky lobster. Thankfully, it is documented for all of time! I was at the fateful dinner where it was revealed that a crush was involved. I remember

Large AD database? Probably not this large...

Over the last few months there have been a series of threads in regard to max <fill in the item here...there have been many> in a database. These items have ranged from database size to # of objects and other such things. I figured, after the latest

ArrayList and Synchronized()...the misleading method

I recently found myself wondering about synchronization when using an ArrayList in managed code. I was building up an ArrayList and iterating through it. Both insertion into and iteration over the list are being done by many threads simultaneously. Naturally,

Housekeeping on categories

I have gone ahead and added a new post category....Windows Live. I have started working for the Windows Live group not too long ago so I figured this was likely a good thing to do. I'll still blog about AD for the most part (well, "for the most part"

"VGA"-like drivers for networking

One of the things that has always impressed me about keyboard, mouse and monitor support is that it just works. That is, you can plug in almost any keyboard, mouse and monitor, on basically any video card, and it there is some level of support provided

MVP summit has come and gone, but definitely left an impact

Last week was just crazy. During the first part of the week I found myself working on a multitude of things. Nothing special to note. Thurs/Fri/Sat (yes, I work weekends ;)) I spent mostly with MVPs at this year’s MVP Summit . All in all, I like the event.
