Or just turn off UAC.
If you’re getting a login failed for your Windows user - which you’re sure you put in the sysadmins role - it’s probably because UAC isn’t pasing all your group memberships to SSMS when you run it, and therefore giving you access denied. If you check your SQL errorlog and you see something like this:
Login failed for user Username Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors.
It’s probably UAC. Try right clicking and running as administrator and seeing if it goes away. Of course if you added your user explicitly you’re probably fine, but just to get a cluster up and running I added my domain admins user to the DB - and of course that’s a membership that UAC will mask.
What a wonderful way to create art - and to make us realise just how filthy the world is that we live in.

Today I picked up a Raptor Gaming LH1 gaming headset. I needed them because I managed to break my decent set, and I needed a replacement pair quickly.
They only cost £18, but I still feel like I’ve been robbed. They are woeful. Avoid at all costs.
Perhaps if you only need them for VoIP you could consider them - mid-tones are the only sound they reproduce so I’m sure they’re great for conversations. Mine will be going back to the shop.
I hope this note saves someone some money.
There’s a lovely little internet radio jobby that a few good folks on the forum I frequent are broadcasting. I urge you to drop it into your players:

An indexer of mp3s. A search engine for songs. A spider of singles.
I don’t know on what grounds the RIAA would have this shut down, but I’m sure they’re working on it as I type, so enjoy it immediately.
I will pierce the weather like a dart of righteousness.
No wind is strong enough to belay the might of my right foot;
water will part as it sees me approach,
children will stare agog, their mouths echoing with my exhaust note.
Arrive I will, in majestic splendour,
for I have with me the power of dreams.
Monster iClean. There you go.
Oh you want more? Ok. Here’s what else I’ve tried so far, and a review:

skate by EA is a superb game. It has everything, including an original and organic control system that makes Tony Hawk’s look and feel like a game aimed at children. The presentation is immaculate, the city is vast, detailed and believable, and the gameplay is varied. It has met with universal praise from all sides of the press, and I’m yet to find someone who tells me that they don’t like it.
All this from a brand new IP. Fantastic work EA, bravo.

Obviously a work in progress, but still does the job. Open source and free.
Why MS didn’t just rip off exposé and include it in Vista instead of the useless Win-tab switcher, I have no idea, still, this will do nicely.
Not really sure what’s going on over at CV Towers, but I’ve been passed the footage below by an anonymous source.
