Elan Shudnow has been named a Microsoft MVP for his work in the Microsoft Community!

Elan has a blog at www.shudnow.net that covers Exchange and Office Communications Server topics. He has worked very hard over the last year to share topics of interest and step-by-step guides with the public. His blog has seen as many as 20,000 hits in one month, has numerous links to it from other highly reputable sources, and 400+ RSS subscribers.

Elan’s MVP profile can be found at this link. Please join me in congratulating Elan for his fine efforts!

Full disclosure: He is also a coworker of mine, but I'd be announcing this on here even if he wasn't. His step-by-step guides have been referred to by many clients and coworkers as top notch.

Bumped into this on the Something Awful forums:

Someone found the source code for the driver that's caused the problem in the Zune 30, from the Freescale website (http://pastie.org/349916)

//PQOAL Real-time clock (RTC) routines for the MC13783 PMIC RTC.

Bad code:


It goes into an infinite loop at boot because of an off by one error!

It looks like the original report of the driver source discovery, with more detailed information, can be found here.
