  I haven't watched both videos in their entirety, but I think Sascha gave the same presentation at TechDays. Maybe that one's smoother.

  I don't see that as one of the workarounds mentioned on Connect, so forgive me if I'm skeptical. Maybe I'll try to find the time to attempt it.

  At 7:20 "That's true, we do have emacs key bindings." Please elaborate. I don't see that in the Power Tools.

  That is correct. In all these 'countdown' videos they have a little gimmick where they set a kitchen timer at the beginning for 10 minutes. It runs a little fast. The show's over when the timer goes off, even if that's in mid-sentence.

• Windows, NT Cache Manager - Molly Brown

  Aug 06, 2008 at 5:42 PM

  Will Molly Brown be attending PDC 2008? If so, I'd really like to get some guidance from her on how an application is supposed to handle error 1450 - ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES from ReadFile et. al.
  
  e.g. http://blogs.msdn.com/psssql/archive/2008/07/10/sql-server-reports-operating-system-error-1450-or-1452-or-665-retries.aspx
  
  We need a complete list of the API that can get this error, and a pattern for dealing with them.

• Countdown to PDC2008: Content be King

  I cannot recommend attending the pre-conference sessions. At PDC05 I attended PRE03 presented by Brandon Bray, Anson Tsao and others. Anson had some gems in his slide deck that I really wanted. There's a problem, though. Microsoft presenters believe that the slides and everything will be available to attendees on the DVD afterword, so they don't bother printing them out. But that's wrong. Indeed, in the conference guide for PDC05 on page 39 it says "Pre-conference sessions, Hands-on labs, and keynote/general sessions are not included".
  
  Even after pestering the presenters with email after the DVD arrived, I never got Anson's slides.

• HanselMinutes on 9 - #2 - Weapons and Debugging the .NET Runtime

  Scott is probably more familiar with ETW than he himself realizes. In Hanselminutes podcast #52 he talks in detail about end-to-end tracing. I can't be %100 sure, but I gotta believe that the framework ultimately calls EventWriteTransfer() from the ETW API to do its thing there.
  
  I've been working with ETW a lot recently (in C code) (and XML for the manifests, of course). But I haven't seen that there is any facility for a "new feature" with "the ability to crawl the stacks" as Vance puts it, in ETW. I would greatly appreciate any pointers to more info on that topic. I read Osterman's blog entry but that didn't clarify this point for me.
