And This Morning, I Didn't Like Podcasts

My experience to date with podcasting has been that I'd rather not, thank you. Nice that you're excited about it, but bluntly, I have a problem not being able to visually skip content when someone's talking about the weather, and when it sounds like they Read More...

The verb form of "Google" seems to have become the commonly accepted form of "searching using Google": "I googled myself today...", "I'm googling it...", "Google me!", "Go And Get Googled" (when someone asks a question verbally using only search terms Read More...

08 February 05 10:19 PM | tristank | (Comments Off)   
Forms-Based Authentication in ISA 2004 is a nifty new feature that emulates Exchange 2003's FBA authentication option (and allows you to put it out front of OWA versions prior to 2003 - that is, you can use ISA 2004 to provide FBA authentication for Outlook Read More...
ISA 2004: Protocol Definitions can now have multiple primary ports
06 February 05 11:19 PM | tristank | (Comments Off)   
Just a quickie: As I've mentioned in passing a couple of times, when using ISA 2004 Protocol Definitions can have multiple primary ports - including ranges of primary ports - associated with them. ISA 2000 was only able to use a single primary port per Read More...
ISA 2004: "All IP Traffic" really means it

With ISA 2000, while "All IP Traffic" rules were open slather for Firewall clients, they actually meant "All IP Traffic For Which I Have A Protocol Definition" for SecureNAT clients. With ISA 2004, that's no longer the case, it really means everything, Read More...

JJ's posted a bit about a role in our Platforms team , which is where I work. I thought I'd burble on for a little while on the sort of stuff we handle: Platforms locally handle Windows itself, and most of the in-box and add-on technologies (like AD (inc Read More...
ISA 2004: Publishing a RADIUS Server

Newsgroup question: I don't want ISA to actually do the RADIUS stuff, but I want to publish a RADIUS server (in Microsoft land, that's called IAS - Internet Authentication Service - if you're running Windows Server) behind ISA so that we can authenticate Read More...
Fat and PasteOff?

Ah, the Sean Connery accent PasteOff jokes just keep on rolling. Matt noted that PasteOff is a "huge memory hog", using 12 MB from a cold start and 24 when noodling around after a while. It's working set bloat! It's not my fault! If it bugs you (and it's Read More...
