Improve Hyper-V Performance With Standard VGA!
05 August 09 02:36 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Yes, kids, if you’re finding that the Hyper-V performance ain’t what it used to be since installing that whizbang graphics card driver on your shiny new seven core hyperthread-and-a-halved megaturboserver thing, you might be suffering from flushes . Read Read More...
Old MPSReports
12 May 09 01:14 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
There’s a new MPS Reports version in town, with new features : new 64-bit friendliness, various forms of wizard-driven hotness for all the products the individual old tools used to support, etc, etc. Call me old school if you want, but I typically prefer Read More...
.HDMP and .MDMP files
23 September 08 07:12 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
Just a quickie – the rule is blog what you know, but I figure my speculation might be good enough here. A friend gave me an HDMP file and asked what I could make of it. After the usual “I could make a hat! Or a brooch! Or a dinosaur!” type stuff, I realized Read More...
Mesh Gush

Hi Everybody! I've been laying low for a while, in read-only mode, sorting, filtering, evaluating and generally catching up on stuff! So, why break radio silence now? Well, I'm popping up to offer a quick endorsement for the Mesh platform, which was recently Read More...
That Memory Leak Revisited
25 June 08 04:59 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
While searching for memory leaking troubleshooting techniques that could be applied to 64-bit Windows (for the DHCP Server memory leak I found I had the other day ), I stumbled across the answer to my problem in an internal tool (weird that I missed it Read More...
Windows Server 2008 Diagnostics Off The Cuff
20 June 08 10:15 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
A word of caution to those of you that like endings: this isn't over yet. I'm running a rather sad and noisy X64 desktop as a server at home. Once a proud warrior, actually, no, wait, it was never any good. It's just a Virtual Server host (it's not quite Read More...
What's in IIS 7.0 for me?
29 February 08 01:16 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
While having a seemingly-innocuous chat with a colleague, I was asked to "throw together a few points" on what IIS 7.0 would do for a web application I've worked with in the past. Serves me right for talking to people , really. In this application's Read More...
Windows Server 2008 Desktop Edition
29 February 08 12:44 PM | tristank | 3 Comments   
WS08 Workstation, Anyone?   Apart from those pesky Live applications that won't install (why would anyone ever blog from a Server OS, as I'm doing now? Beats me...), I've had a relatively good run with Windows Server 2008 (x64, naturally) as my desktop Read More...
Anthology Of Interest
18 December 07 12:24 AM | tristank | 6 Comments   
Okay, so there's no interest here, but perhaps an anthology anyway. Yes I've been gone a while; another computer packed it in (this time without my own personal brand of assistance ), I've been off to India (usually 5.5 hrs difference from Sydney, but Read More...
Tip o' the Week: WEVTUTIL for EVTX/EVT file conversion
05 October 07 05:19 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
This week, a pointer to a solution to a problem I occasionally hit. Windows Vista (and by extension Windows Server 2008, I assume) utilizes a new EVTX log format for event log exports. It's XML-based, natch. Problem: Everyone's Favourite Log Digestion Read More...
Netmon vs Chimney
23 July 07 02:22 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
I recently encountered TCP Chimney for the first time in the wild. Short version: Chimney is an offload technology that allows the NIC to deal with up to X TCP connections, with any overflow being handled by Windows. All good: get the NIC dealing with Read More...
Fear The Hand Of Non-Selection
22 July 07 05:30 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
One of those "remember it for when you need it" posts: On Tiny, I've been unable to select text in the Outlook preview pane for about a month. When I tried to select things, I'd get a not-quite-looking-like-the-web-hand hand instead of a selection bar, Read More...

Goings On...
19 February 07 03:49 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
Quick catchups: While in Seattle, I talked with some folk about IAG and ISA 2006 - all I can say is *wow*. I'm downloading the demo VMs now to have a play. The other *wow* was SoftGrid. Architecturally, wow ! I'm eager to learn more about that. While Read More...
