I was having trouble with the clock in my Linux Hyper-V VMs. The time was constantly drifting forward. Using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) only slowed the drift a bit down but often the NTP-service gave up after several days.

I am running Linux in Hyper-V VMs since the launch of the Windows Server 2008 RTM. But in the beginning it was quite complex to get real performance and support for the network drivers.

Recently, with the launch of Windows Server 2008 R2, there are also new Linux Integration Components which also work for Windows Server 2008 RTM.

When I frequently connect to the same development machine using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), I want to store my credentials for easier access. However, I still have to provide my password each time I connect.

In this article, I explain the reason behind this issue and how I resolved it by adjusting a local policy setting.

After having major, and unsolvable, problems with MovableType (MovableType was causing segfaults in Perl) for over half a year I finally switched to WordPress for hosting my blog.

I did consider SharePoint Server 2010 for hosting my blog, but the out-of-the-box support is nowhere near the possibilities with WordPress (or any other major blogging framework).

On CodePlex you can find the MOSS 2007 - C# Protocol Handler project. I am currently using this in a project to index a custom content source.

When working with the code I discovered two issues which I both fixed. Both solutions are posted in the discussions and/or submitted as patch and I will summarize them here.
