Dipping my toes into competition

I’ve been a member of my local gun club for a while now, and have managed to use my membership for some great practice. An indoor 100yd range comes in handy in the middle of the winter, I tell you. But finding that there are only so many drills and ways of practicing that I [...]

VM folder name mismatch query using PowerShell

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 [...]

More love for PowerGUI and PowerShell

I suck at scripting. I have this big vSphere PowerCLI poster sitting next to my desk that I’m only now learning to reference. But PowerShell is quickly becoming my go-to tool of choice to quickly find out how my vSphere infrastructure is doing.

Ah, how I love Mint.com

EDIT: for an update on how I feel about Mint.com these days, please see this post. Web service fave of mine Mint.com just released a pretty nifty update this morning in the form of Goals – although there is a curious lack of that news on the update blog at mint.com. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m [...]

…jaw on the floor.

This, my friends, is what true stardom should mean: This is the multifaceted tale of Bill Caswell, a man who bought a crapcan off Craigslist to run against the $400,000-plus rally cars in a World Rally Championship race. It is a tale of a guy who had a welder, a bunch of credit cards, and [...]

Awesome iFixit awesomeness now free

This is huge for anyone who owns an Apple product and has ever dealt with having to fix, say, a keyboard that your cat puked on (ask me how I know this…): iFixit has released it’s fixit guides for iPhones, iPods, Macbooks, and Mac desktops under a Creative Commons license. For the average person, this [...]
