PAL 2.0 has recently released the beta of version 2.0.  If you are not familiar with PAL it stands for Performance Analysis Of Logs.  In a nutshell PAL allows you to quickly analyze Windows performance logs and gives you a nice report you can hand to your manager.  The new version of the tool is written in PowerShell 2.0 which makes it very powerful.  I have used the tool several time to troubleshoot complex production issues.  This tool will help make you look like genius by being able to pinpoint the problem and provide pretty pictures.  Please stop by the codeplex project site and check it out.  If you like the tool please drop Clint a quick email and let him know how you are using the tool.

Hash Tab 3.0 is a small program that allows you to calculate file hashes.  The great thing about hash tab is that it is supported as a Windows shell extension. This means that once you have the program installed all you have to do is look at the file properties to see the hash.  Hash Tab 3.0 supports several algorithms including MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RipeMD, HAVAL and Whirlpool.  Check out the link below to download the program and learn more about it.
