Been a little quiet here lately

I've just become very aware that I haven't posted here since Friday's cynical link about BP being fined, but things have been busy here finalising and deploying the update hinted at in my Monitoring Custom Windows Services post.

It's not been an easy couple of weeks, but I think we're finally seeing the performance improvements that we were hoping for.

I know I mentioned posting some code samples about how to create your own performance counters, but I really haven't had time.

If you want to investigate using performance counters then probably the best thing to do is check out these MSDN articles:

• Category and Counter Management,
• Create Performance Counter Categories,
• How to Create Custom Performance Counters.
