Exchange Server 2003 Exam in Beta

I took a beta Exchange exam once….  It was a beast! 

Exchange Server 2003 exams are being added to eventually replace the 70-224 and 70-225 exams for Exchange 2000 Server.

70-285 Designing a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Organization is being beta tested from January 16-22 for invited testers. This exam compliments 70-284 Implementing and Managing Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 (See the 70-284 Preparation Guide).

The 70-285 Preparation Guide details what is mentioned in this MCPMAG article.

The learning never ends in this business.

Happy New Year.

Your Personal Tivo

Hey Tivo fans, go check this out.  It has automatic commercial detection!!  It also looks like you can have more than one box doing recordings and from the client you can choose to watch shows off of either server.   Looks like I know what my next “at home” project is going to be. J

If you like TiVo, but really want more freedom to tinker than TiVo gives you, head on over to MythTV, a homebrew personal video recorder (PVR) project. I have a friend who has MythTV server (running on Gentoo Linux) in his attic with 1Tb of storage and diskless front end systems based on VIA EPIA-M motherboards. He can store almost a year of TV or 1000 movies and watch them anywhere in the house. After all, its just data.

Way too cool

Some things today for you geeks out there.

 

I mentioned last week about mbuzzy.com and how you can download ringtones and such to your Sprint phone.  Well, it seems that you can do much more than that.  I found quite a few java based applications out there for all kinds of phones at this site.  I found out that if I register at mbuzzy (which is free) I can upload applications to my locker and have them sent right to my phone.  When I started out searching on google for java based applications I found a great deal of posts where people were confused at what to do with most of the .jad and .jar files.  I found that I can view the properties of the .jad link so that I can copy the URL to the clipboard and then go to TinyURL (Thanks TechnoD) and paste it.  This gives you a MUCH friendlier URL to type into your built-in phone browser.  If that doesn’t work, just post the application to your locker in mbuzzy and have them send it.  This seems to always work (unless the app is not compatible).

 

Anyway, I now have a Jabber/MSN/AOL client, Email, Telnet client, subnet calculator, and even a blog tool!!!  Yes, I have gone crazy!!! J
