Exchange 2003 "Technical Reference" document released

 

Here's the description from the webpage:

This technical reference guide presents a system architect's view of Exchange Server 2003. It includes a general overview of Exchange Server 2003 messaging system design, together with more specific details, such as services dependencies, Active Directory® directory service integration, Exchange System Manager architecture, routing architecture, SMTP transport architecture, X.400 architecture, Exchange store architecture, and cluster architecture. This information will help you design, maintain, and troubleshoot an Exchange organization and also develop custom solutions for administrators.

This detailed reference guide is not for beginning administrators and does not show you how to implement or maintain Exchange Server 2003. Instead, this guide is for Microsoft Certified System Engineers (MSCEs) and Exchange Server experts who want to take their knowledge about Exchange Server 2003 to the next level.

As one of the technical reviewers of this doc, let me just tell you -- this is serious technical reference documentation! 400+ pages of Exchange technical goodness packaged into a nicely formatted DOC. You want to read this document and you're sure to learn some stuff, no matter what your Exchange expertise!

Team ELF Rides Again

I'm riding the MS-150 with Team ELF this year. Katie or Meg will decide about riding the tandem with me after we take Sarah to Georgia Tech next Sunday.

This is my MS-150 page.

Computer Stupidities

Collection of mostly help desk war stories. Interesting read, but it also points out how we need to improve how computers and networks work. They need to be more like telephones and toasters.

Lance Armstrong Foundation

Lance Armstrong Foundation - Cancer Survivorship Education, Resources & Programs

Bumped into a guy at Starbucks this morning with a LiveStrong wristband. I commented on how awesome Lance's finish was on Stage 17 yesterday. Turns out he rides a Santana tandem and is looking for a stoker and he is one of the few guys taller than I am that rides seriously (probably 6'6").

Anyhow, he runs to his car and gives Barb and I a LiveStrong wristband. Barb's Mom and several of my family members are cancer survivors, and I already planned to donate to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, I just though it was really cool to get a wristband from another rider (a tall tandem owner at that).

The girls and I made a donation and ordered ten adult and youth wristbands this afternoon.

Not sure if these surveys are a 'de facto' standard and guideline to the election, but they appear to be comprehensive.

Huge storms in NJ yesterday

I spent most of the afternoon sorting out things at home, then drying a small corner of our basement, then pushing neighbors cars off the street and a few strangers as well.

The note below is from the National Weather Service. It looks like this was not only the storm of the century, maybe of the millenium.

... Unprecedented record rains fell across the region on Monday
causing serious flooding in some areas, and now more rain is
forecast to fall on Wednesday...

As we watch the low pressure that brought the heavy rains move
farther offshore this afternoon, another one is taking shape over the
Great Lakes and it too is forecast to move across this region on
Wednesday.

As cleanup continues in some areas of New Jersey and Delaware
forecasters are watching the potential for more heavy rain tomorrow.
A similar warm and humid airmass will be in place, and a very strong
upper level disturbance will override the unstable air and initiate
showers and thunderstorms. Although scattered showers may move into
the area early Wednesday, the heaviest storms will develop during the
maximum heating of the day and could be both severe which means
producing strong winds and hail, and accompanied by more torrential
downpours at a rate of 2 or more inches per hour.

The National Weather Service strongly suggest that residents who were
affected by mondays flooding pay particular attention to additional
statements and potential warnings on Wednesday.

As you undoubtedly know the ground is saturated, and it won't take
much rain to initiate more flooding and to send small streams and
creeks out of their banks. In addition it won't take very strong
winds to bring down trees because of the saturated conditions. Downed
trees will bring down power lines and many people could be without
power late Wednesday.

The event that occurred in Burlington County New Jersey was
classified as a 1000 year storm when you consider that the 13.20
inches of rain fell in a 12 hour period, and possibly a 500 year
event in Smyrna Delaware with 11.10 inches.

Persons living near streams and creeks are urged to remain vigilant
over the next 24 hours for any weather changes. If you hear that a
flood or Severe Thunderstorm Watch is issued, it means there is the
possibility of more flooding or severe thunderstorms with winds in
excess of 58 mph and large hail. If you hear that a warning has been
issued, it means that flooding and/or severe thunderstorms are
occurring or imminent.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, the voice of the National Weather
Service, or local media outlets for additional information as it
becomes available.

I think Bush is in trouble.

I don't exactly hang out in Conservative Republican strongholds, but I'm bumping into more and more people who are mad as hell and plan to do something about it.

I think our state and federal representatives should take note as well.

Kid steals bicycle in Mount Laurel, film at 11...

I used Katie's bike to retrieve Megan from a friends house in the neighborhood.

As usual, I was chatting with the neighbors. About 20 minutes later, we go home and I'm looking for Katie's bike, but its no where to be seen. I rang the doorbell to be sure they didn't put it in their garage by mistake. No, its just gone.

I drove around the block to see if someone was pulling a prank, but I didn't find the bike.

I know *everything* about this bike. Its a Trek 210 I bought from my brother several years ago. Bike Nashbar bottle cages, street slick tires and a cheapo lock.

We hope to find it abandoned in a local park. I hope this is the case, because if I find some kid riding it, its very likely they will fall and hurt themselves.

Several times.

Under unusal circumstancs.

In an accident with Mr. Begley, who happened to have his old Simpson full coverage motorcycle helmet and leathers helmet on while he was riding around the block just after dusk.

The Importance of...: Introducing Hatch's Hit List

Orren Hatch is way off base. Its not clear what his agenda is, but he has been shilling for any and all media companies. I don't see how any of his proposed legislation will help the average person in the US.

All I see is 'fair use' becoming a distant memory.

My goal is to get all the 18-21 year old voters aware of these issues and pissed off enough to vote.
