Do you store PST files on file servers?
You probably shouldn’t – you’ll eventually see I/O problems (hang’s and general slowness) on the file servers. I see this occasionally with new clients that we bring on, and not surprisingly it’s the IT organizations (or HR) that often institutesthe policy of having users store their .PST files on the file server. It’s hard to argue with the logic – PST files stored on a file server can get backed-up. Further, on smaller networks you can often get by with doing this for quite a while – until growth and higher I/O utilization cause the issue to manifest itself.
KB article 297019 hits the highlights, and there’s an excellent post on TechNet as well.
So you can either store the PST files locally and risk them being lost or destroyed - or, put them on files servers and risk having the I/O problems. If you’re looking for a compromise, check out the Outlook Add-In Personal Folders Backup tool. There are also some other third-party tools like Genie Outlook Backup, and Mobiliti Outlook Backup. The downside of course is that these are all compromise solutions in that they don’t’ just work. In each case, it’s another layer of complexity – deployment, management, and user training to consider.

“Will Work For Food”
I was going to rant on this article I saw on yahoo news Mom Makes Teen Stand on Street With Sign
But it looks like Randy beat me to it, and this rant is better than anything I could come up with.
Washington Post: Tasha Henderson got tired of her 14-year-old daughter’s poor grades, her chronic lateness to class and her talking back to her teachers, so she decided to teach the girl a lesson. She made Coretha stand at a busy Oklahoma City intersection Nov. 4 with a cardboard sign that read: “I don’t do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future. Will work for food.”
Extreme? Certainly. Better than entropy? Absolutely! Props to the Mom for trying something. Oh, and there was another nugget in this article worth calling out…
Donald Wertlieb, a professor of child development at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University, warned that such punishment could do extreme emotional damage. He said rewarding positive behavior is more effective. “The trick is to catch them being good,” he said. “It sounds like this mother has not had a chance to catch her child being good or is so upset over seeing her be bad, that’s where the focus is.”
Extreme emotional damage, my left testicle!
This man needs to be taken outside and flogged with a huge stick of salami. If anything, he’s the reason why some people should attend less of school. The quack gets a degree and people believe this type of crap! Jeez: if the kid was getting C’s and D’s in school and disrupting classes, what is she doing well? Extra curricular activities? Got a job? Best hip hop dancer in her homeroom? hah!
What about other important good things, like keeping off drugs? Staying away from alcohol? Not smoking? While these are good things for teenagers, how are they suppose to take away focus from bad things? Should the child be praised for being clean? Of course! But that does not hand her a pass to do whatever the hell she wants at school.
Especially at school.
And on that topic, if she’s not doing well at school, isn’t that one of the most important problem the child should have? Americans seem to think that going to high school is supposed to be a social party rather than a training session for the world to come. I’m not sure when that happened, but it was definitely in effect when I was in HS; probably started in the wasted 60’s.
Hell, it was the social aspects of HS that made me not want to be there in the first place… I scored many a C and D’s while going through the HS system. Why? First off I didn’t think it important - this was true in my case but not for everyone… I got lucky and was saved in college. Second, I hated being in the building - at all - mostly due to social reasons. Why would I give a rat’s ass about the work going on there? Think of it this way… as an adult, you land a job. You hate nearly everyone you work with. You’re in so much pain that you get ill simply walking to the building, knowing that you have eight hours of what will feel like nails on a blackboard. What do you do? Odds are you’ve already started looking for another job. For the immediate future, you suck it up b/c you need to work, but you can deal with that because you know it’s temporary. As a HS student, there is no option, given the four year sentence: this will make for bad job performance. Parents, students, high schools… they need to keep this in mind. Would make for a better - meaning more effective - schooling system.
Back to the tosser that works at Tufts, though… dude, you’re freakin’ clueless. If there’s a problem in the home that’s what needs the most amount of attention… how does it get fixed otherwise?
Meh.

Lack of Post
Sorry for the lack of post lately. Not much going on in the blog world. Plus I’ve started posting the Techie stuff over at benway.net.
Springs here and I’ve been trying to spend more time outside and less time at my computer. I’ve also stated studying for my MCSE 2003. I figured no point in continueing my 2000 track, when that 5 years old.
I’m also looking into getting some EMC and VMware training, since we are looking to go full steam ahead with VMware.
later,jb

More football new
The dope head Ricky Williams may not have fully washed his hands from the Dolphins. The Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga is reporting considering taking Williams to court to get back some of the money the dolphins paid him.
I hope they get all 5 million back. Ricky is a big baby, he couldn’t smoke his weed and play football so he took his ball and went home. He put his selfish needs in front of the good of the team. Instead of leaving them at the end of last season he waits until close to training camp. So I think he owes the team.

NFL Players Union is a joke
This is a surprising move by Dallas, but I happy to see that they wanted to move away from players that ‘might’ be using drugs. In the 90’s Dallas had all the druggies playing for them.
Reading this article I had to laugh. A spokes man for the Players union stated
“I just heard about this,” Upshaw told the Post for Thursday’s editions. “I won’t comment on a drug case. I will say under our collective bargaining agreement a club cannot conduct its own, independent drug testing and impose its own discipline. They just can’t do it.”
Ok, the league agreed to teams not doing their own drug testing. My question is why? If it is against the rules, why shouldn’t the nfl or a team be allowed to drug test a player anytime?
Carter stunned, denies he used cocaine
OXNARD, Calif. — Quincy Carter became the Cowboys’ starting
quarterback three years ago after veteran Tony Banks was
unexpectedly cut during training camp. His time in Dallas
stunningly ended in a similar way.In a virtually unexplained move Wednesday, Dallas cut the player
who began camp just four days earlier as the No. 1 quarterback.
Carter started every game last season, when the Cowboys won 10
games and made the playoffs in coach Bill Parcells’ first year.“Sometimes… [ESPN.com]
