I've been programming since I can remember (my dad bought a Sinclair ZX81 shortly after it came out). I'm currently working (and playing) in C++, C# and T-SQL (and a little bit of F#), using Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server 2008.

Right now, I'm loving PowerShell.

Along the way, I've done a bit of QuickBasic and QuickC for DOS, a lot of C and C++ for Windows (from real mode Windows 3.0 to Windows ME, and from Windows NT 3.51 to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2), a reasonable slice of C and C++ programming on Linux, learnt (and mostly forgotten) a reasonable selection of assembly language dialects, and more recently dabbled with PHP, Python and Ruby.

comment Safely deploying/hosting a virtualized domain containing a DHCP server
We do something similar: the (Microsoft) DHCP server has a configured scope; there's an exclusion that covers the entire scope; then we have reservations so that specific MAC addresses get specific IP addresses.

comment Is Hyper-V Server 2008 working on Intel's Atom platform
The Atom N270 (in my Samsung NC10) definitely doesn't support VT -- based on attempting to use XP Mode in Windows 7.

comment Mail server for windows server
But bear in mind that the POP3 component has been dropped from Windows 2008, which might be important if you plan on using it and then upgrading in future...

comment Configuring multi-homed Windows Vista/2008 machine to ignore default gateway and DNS server settings on one adapter?
Turns out that this Windows box automatically assigned a higher metric to the correct gateway (once I'd provided one), but I can see that this would have been the right answer.
