Daybreak Going Well

Apparently our flickr account is one of the top 10 searched on Google for the phrase “daybreak utah“. What’s even more interesting is that I have not done single thing to optimize for SEO.

Muhahahah!! (Totally kidding!)

Schedule Weekly Defrags for Windows XP

As a part-time freelance systems administrator I have often been approached with questions regarding computer performance (or lack thereof.) Besides upgrading RAM, processor, or other hardware peripherals, one of the first things I suggest is to do a hard drive defrag. I lack the time now to fully explain the ins-and-outs of the defrag process, nevertheless, I wish to show how to setup a computer to run a weekly (or more frequent) scheduled disk defrag.

Microsoft Marketing…hmmm

I receive regular newsletters from the Redmond behemoth and a recent conference invitation caught my attention.

VBScript to run a mySQL Backup Command

I’ve decided to start sharing the litle snipets of insight I might have into programming and system management. I finally had time to sit down and actually write this code to start backing up my mysql databases using the windows scheduler.

Now obviously there are other, more efficient ways to do your backups, but this is the way I have chosen for now.

Enjoy!
