Thomas Divine is re-blogging
A mere hour after I ran across Don Burn’s new blog, I read on the PCAUSA network driver development mailing list that Thomas Divine has started blogging again. For those that don’t know Thomas: as nearly as I can tell, he knows everything that is to be known about NDIS. If you do network driver […]
Don Burn is blogging
I just ran across Don Burn’s new(ish) WDK-focused, at http://msmvps.com/blogs/WinDrvr. Don is a longtime contributor to the community and I like the direction he’s gone with his first few posts.
In addition to the basic driver dev stuff, he’s getting into some important higher-level stuff like source control and using undocumented features. I bet I […]
Be careful with MmGetSystemRoutineAddress
Bill McKenzie reported on NTDEV that he re-discovered a nasty crash bug in MmGetSystemRoutineAddress. Apparently, all versions of Windows XP and everything before Windows Server 2003 SP1 will bugcheck if they’re passed an invalid system routine name.
This bug is fixed in Vista and is scheduled for fix in XP SP3.
Meanwhile, Peter Viscarola from OSR offers […]
Microsoft discusses a redesigned OS
I’ve had a long-running argument with anyone that will listen that multi-core computing will require a fundamentally different programming model. Of course, I’m remotely the only person saying this, but it seems to be a bit of a contentious topic regardless.
I just ran across an article on ArsTechnica in which a Microsoft exec discusses a […]
One last PhoneFactor post for the weekend
OK, one last post on PhoneFactor, and then I’ll try to get back to regularly scheduled programming.
I finally got a dedicated PhoneFactor blog set up; for those interested, it’s at blog.phonefactor.net. I have had to fight with WordPress 2.2 quite a bit to get all of the feeds working, and I’ll probably switch to FeedBurner […]
Windows Server 2008
It looks like Longhorn Server is officially going to be Windows Server 2008. Beta 3 is avialable at connect.microsoft.com.
I haven’t had time to download it yet, but hopefully I’ll have some time over this extended weekend. Maybe!
Translated version of the Japanese PhoneFactor article
Someone at my office had the bright idea of using Google to translate. Man, I work with some really bright people!
Translated article.
It’s neat.
Wow, what an amazing 24 hours! I’ve been doing everything from coding to PR to writing for the website to… well, you get the idea. PhoneFactor has caused quite a splash already at Interop, and we’ve been getting some really good press out of it.
One of my favorite quotes is this one, from an Infoworld […]
PhoneFactor: Free two-factor authentication for everyone!
After months of development and a couple of years of research and planning, I’m thrilled to announce that Positive Networks is readying its new two-factor authentication service, PhoneFactor, for launch this summer.
PhoneFactor is a phone-based two-factor authentication system. It works like this:
A user enters her normal username and password and logs in
Immediately, the system places […]
What I’ve been up to lately
I’ve been heads-down for the past six months focusing virtually all of my attention on two very special projects.
Tomorrow, Positive Networks will be announcing its newest service to the world: a two-factor authentication service for everyone. Readers of my blog will recognize by now that I’ve never been a fan of usernames and passwords, and […]
