I have a lot of great stuff cooking, almost ready to be consumed. Hot off-the-press stories to expect this month include:

SSD chosen to cache both reads and writes on a RAID5 array, under ESXi 5
(finally, CacheCade Pro 2.0 for the LSI 9265-8i RAID adapter, reliability and speed, NAS nirvana at last?)
Re-testing nested Hyper-V
(will we have to wait for ESXi 5.1?)
How to handle graceful ESXi/VM shutdown when power is lost, using CyberPower UPS USB-connected to the VMware VMA Appliance
(this now works with affordable consumer level products and the free Hypervisor, here's exactly how to go about it!)
Whole-home backup generator, with automatic idle, and the unique ability to get along with my CyberPower UPSs
<$100 USD upgrade: affordable ceiling fixture/LED combo from Home Depot
(use 1/4th the power of a 4-tube T8 flourescent fixture in your home office, putting out far less heat, and paying for itself in a year or two)
Jabra 9470 DECT cordless head-set review: good choice for phone calls, VOIP calls, and PC based recording? (Camtasia, XSplit Broadcaster, Skype, etc.)
