		<title>On Letters.app&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those not aware, there was a recent mess started by Brent Simmons on creating a new open source email client for Macs, to be called Letters.app.  I&#8217;ve been following the carnage since Monday and just wanted to lay down some random thoughts here.
I will call right now that its doomed to fail.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do you define government failures?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love this comment from the OpenCongress link:
&#8220;The government failed at running a railroad.
The Government failed at running a Post Office
The Government failed at running two mortgage companies
The Government failed at running a rescue and recovery effort.
The Government failed at running an acquisition organization.
The Government faield at running an educational system (even though it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7: The Wheels Came Off&#8230;(part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my idea on doing a series about the follies of Windows 7 has fell flat on its face.  In addition to the sheer amount of things that are still bad, there is simply too much personal bias, too much dislike.  I tried and failed 3 times to write my piece on software [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Take on Net Neutrality&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I have to give kudos to the guy running packetlife.net.  Its a great site for networking nerds like me, and he&#8217;s got some really awesome cheatsheets available.  But he had a post this week that really struck a cord: Why network neutrality is a big deal.  I dumped a less-edited version [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7: What&#8217;s still wrong? (part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we proceed through our deployment of Windows 7 at work, I want to detail some of the issues I have with &#8220;features&#8221; Microsoft graced us with in their latest attempt at making an OS not suck.

For starters, some background: We skipped Vista.  Our infrastructure was heavily entrenched from many years ago, dating back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keith Combs gives me one more Reason to hate Microsoft&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I doubt my response to Keith will make it through his filters (though maybe he&#8217;ll allow it) I&#8217;m posting it here.
It is in response to this ridiculous article about his first 24 hours on Snow Leopard:
http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2009/08/30/apple-os-x-snow-leopard-the-first-24-hours.aspx

And My response:

Keith&#8230;Some fast notes and your &#8220;solution&#8221;:
I have been running 12GB of ram in my Mac Pro happily [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Server&#8230;Pollux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pollux is the latest addition to my ever-shrinking stable of machines, and is the first of a two stage process to replace my VM server with a trio of small, lightweight machines to handle my production server duties.
Prior to this month, I had Altair, Polaris, and Vega.  Altair was my primary file server with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too Long for a Tweet&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know, we forget sometimes&#8230;in all the talk about democracy, we forget that it&#8217;s not a democracy, it&#8217;s a republic.  The people dont make the decisions, they chose the people who make the decisions.  Could they do a better job chosing?  Yeah.  But when you consider the alternatives&#8230; &#8212; Josiah Bartlett [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hating Windows&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been said before, but the Windows Registry is the Mos Eisley cantina of a Windows computer.  
You&#8217;ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
As somebody who has made their fair share of registry hacks before, I have been to places most people don&#8217;t dare to tread, changed and added keys [...]]]></description>

		<title>PGP:  Problematic Godawful Pain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I had an interesting challenge come my way today.  I received an attachment I was supposed to look at, with the extension .pgp.  Since I don&#8217;t use PGP regularly (with the exception of this time, I have never had to use it for any &#8216;production&#8217; purpose) I went through the motions of [...]]]></description>
