…as in, it’s going to be shot. A lot. From Caleb over at Gun Nuts: We are going to buy a Kel-Tec PF9 at retail, and then all we’re going to do with it is shoot it. We are constantly getting emails from readers and fans about how Kel-Tec’s are reliable, and I don’t believe [...]
For some reason, people were actually looking forward to Kel-Tec’s PMR-30 .22 Magnum handgun. I say “for some reason” because I find pretty much every firearm that Kel-Tec has ever made to be one step above Hi-Point in terms of finish and function. I guess bullets leaving the muzzle of PMRs have a tendency to tumble [...]
Hat tip to Caleb at Gun Nuts for pointing out a great reminder to anyone looking for a good defensive pistol: your gun (or any gear for that matter) can’t fight for you. To quote the article at Insight Training: Personal safety is not a hardware issue. No amount of guns, pepper spray, knives, or [...]
Shelley Rae over at Gun Nuts put up her $0.02 about the Ruger LC9, and I’m not coming away from reading that convinced that Ruger has been able to take a proven Kel-Tec design in the PF9 and make it $110 better. And here I was, thinking that this gun was on the table for [...]
I just got back from (as the title says) a 4-day rifle course at Front Sight in Nevada. I’m a lifetime member from something like 6 years ago but I’ve only attended, and greatly enjoyed, one pistol class there. While I like to keep the focus of my training on skills with little focus on [...]
…but PowerGUI has the exact same functionality, with the ability to tie in all your other (Exchange, Active Directory, etc) PowerPacks. The VMware PowerPack has now come back under the PowerGUI installation wizard and is part of PowerGUI 2.3 which can be downloaded from the PowerGUI site here. Lest I start in again on how [...]
Pre-migration PowerShell lifesaving tip of the day: get a listing of all your VMs and the datastores they’re living on (’cause we all know your VM names don’t match their storage names, right?) in case you need to re-register your VMs from storage. We’re heading into another datacenter move, and I’ve learned that it’s nice [...]
This little tidbit saved me a ton of time and right-click pain today. We’re moving a datacenter overseas and I needed to add a ton of datastores to a bunch of hosts, as well as set their multipathing policy for each LUN. Trying to do this by hand? Teh suck. Trying to do this by [...]
Well, how’s that for a nice holiday gift? Veeam is offering a free 2-socket license of their products to VMware vExperts, VMware Certified Professionals and VMware Certified Instructors: the awesome Backup & Replication 5 Monitor Plus and Business Reporter If you’re running a home lab, you kind of owe it to yourself to get a [...]
Hats off to Luc at www.virtu-al.net for this incredibly useful PowerShell script to identify the display names of VMs and any that don’t match their folder structure. If you’ve ever unregistered a virtual machine in vCenter and sort of spaced where it lived on your datastores, trying to find a VM’s hostname in a bunch [...]
