All credit goes to Scott Adams. I'm not claiming this as my own work but merely sharing due to the lolz and that it's kinda true sometimes.

How to fix DPM Auto-Protection failures of SQL servers

-
For longer than I care to admit, my DPM server has had the same error every night about an auto-protection failure on one of my SQL servers. I've looked into it before but never came away with anything useful until recently. I've finally found information on how to fix this annoying issue. The Advanced Information link in the error will tell you to make sure WMI is in a good state on the machine. The error itself isn't very descriptive. It'll look something like "DPM could not enumerate SQL Server instances using Windows Management Instrumentation on the protected computer $serverFQDN."

Modifying the Zebra F-701 & F-402 pens

I've been carrying a pen as part of my (mostly) every-day-carry, or EDC, for a couple years now. I bought the Zebra F-701 and after a few other pen purchases, the 701 is still my favorite of all. At first, I just wanted a pen that looked nice and for the moments I needed to sign something. I recall attending meetings when I worked at the university where the attendees were asked to sign-in on the attendance sheet: I tended to be the only one that didn't have a pen so I felt unprepared when I had to ask one of the other attendees if I could borrow theirs. Once I started college, I found myself using a pen much more often, so it had to be comfortable, relatively inexpensive (nice pens can cost hundreds of dollars), and still stylish enough to live in the pocket of a dress shirt.

Triumph Street Triple and Bonneville: A Short Review

Let me start by saying that I'm a new rider (to motorcycles that is). I got my license in February of '12 and bought my first bike the following March. Needless to say, it was the single greatest decision of my life. There's nothing like the exhilaration a motorcycle provides. The bike I bought was an '03 Honda Shadow VLX 600. I knew that it was a good beginner bike and due to being tall, the cruiser position was much more comfortable than any of the "beginner" sport bikes I sat on. Well, after only a few months of owning it, I've learned that "beginner" is marketing for "slow". I want something faster. During my initial butt-testing of motorcycles at the 2 dealers that reside in our town, I found that I loved nearly every Triumph a swung a leg over. The Street Triple particularly called out to me. I recently got to take the Street Triple and the Bonneville out for test rides and thought I'd blab about my initial impressions.
