As the parent of two children (soon to be three) and knowing the types of films that I would produce if I could – a question came to my mind while doing the dishes tonight.

Earlier I had been engaged in working on a script for an online short that I think will just be fan-damn-tastic, but admittedly would garner quite the R rating if it were to be shown in a movie theatre.  Knowing that, it makes me wonder how far it’s going to get around Youtube before someone finds it offensive.

My 4-year-old son is enjoying Looney Tunes for the first time.

On Youtube.

Continuing my recent tradition of expressing what are likely to be fairly unpopular opinions with my peers, tonight I’m going to rag on Google‘s “Chrome” project and tell you why this is a Bad Idea ™.  I’ll try to keep this short (update: I failed).  This is considered to be a discussion starter, not a final statement.  I’ll probably elaborate on these discussion points on the next NO CARRIER, so be sure and give me some feedback here.

This video is way too good not to share:

This video is quite funny through most of it, but when it reaches the little boy I practically burst into tears.  Sometimes I think my job and this industry just does not lend itself to parenting at all.  I guess others agree.

Howdy from Dallas, Texas, where a new chapter of my life could be opening up. I’m not sure why or how, but it could happen.

I am nervous but then I am not. If the interviews are all about how I function under pressure, that’s fine I guess. We shall see.

Should I keep you up to date with how the interview goes tomorrow?

Sleep now. Study in the morning.

Obama Assassination Plot? – TMZ.com.

Just in case any of you thought I was crazy when I said this country was too immature to elect a black president… I know it’s TMZ, but still.

I guess I’m just a little surprised they’re starting this early.

The delegates and the manager must all use Outlook 2007 when you use delegates in Outlook 2007.

Important post out there for you sysadmins dealing with Exchange and delegation scenarios.

It seems some parents out there are coming out against immunization for their children.  MSNBC has the story.

This is just fracking brilliant.  Now you’re going to let your child be put as risk for these killer diseases and expose the live bacteria to my children just because you’re some stupid-ass hippy parent who wants to be all New Age and shit?  Get a brain.  Why do you think we almost eradicated these diseases?  When was the last time you knew any children that died from these diseases?  Can’t put up with a little prick to the arm?  Grow up and get responsible, dumbasses.

This post is focused on those of you who have decided to deploy Exchange in a resource forest.  You’re in for tears.  While the resource forest is technically a supported deployment method for Exchange, I’m going to point out what can go wrong in your Exchange world that will keep your admins up at night.

Let’s start with the definition of a resource forest, just in case you’re not sure.  The resource forest approach means that you have one Active Directory forest where your user accounts live and another Active Directory forest where your application (Exchange, in this case) lives.  You have user accounts in the resource forest that are disabled and then externally associated with the users in the user forest.  This of course, requires a trust between the two forests, which you likely have anyway, right?  Right.

I keep reading a lot of tweets from folks that are not much more than USA fanboys preaching the goodness of the red-blooded Yanks and how China is just a bunch of commie bastards and I’m getting pretty sick of it.

First of all, that kind of talk does nothing to help peace in the world.  Shut up.
