		<title>OpenDNS - Faster and safer DNS servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Depending on how tech-savvy you are, you may have heard about the DNS vulnerability that many DNS providers are working hard to fix. For more information about what DNS is, check out the Wikipedia page on it. Long story short, a hacker can attack an unpatched DNS server, forcing it to show you &#8220;bad&#8221; pages [...]]]></description>

		<title>ASUS&#8230; what were you thinking?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; everyone on the net has been ranting and raving about the new P45 chipset from Intel. Sure - it&#8217;s a great chipset. Low power, ICH10R, support for 45nm CPUs, blah blah blah. I&#8217;ve always been a fan of ASUS. I&#8217;ve been buying them pretty much exclusively for the past two or three years. For [...]]]></description>

		<title>A quick fix for my car</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The wonderful government of British Columbia decided back in 1992 that it would require mandatory emmisions testing of all vehicles before allowing them to be insured. Since my insurance was up on Saturday, it was time for me to take the oh-so-enjoyable AirCare test again. (To be honest - there are more beater cars elsewhere [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why eSATA is awesome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up a Vantec3 enclosure for one of my spare WD5000AAKS drives (see My Computers for updates), and made sure that it was one of the versions that included eSATA support. I&#8217;ve dealt with USB enclosures for a long time, and the transfer speeds are just painful. I took a couple of benchmarks using [...]]]></description>

		<title>I hate Drupal&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working for the past while to figure out how to create a custom page within Drupal for a conference that we&#8217;re hoping to setup.
Here&#8217;s what I want (I don&#8217;t think this is too unreasonable):
- Text
- A picture
- Selected polls (not the most recent)
I&#8217;ve got the text and the picture down pat, but getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remove that unsightly www</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may have noticed a new icon on the sidebar of this site linking to the No-www.org site. It&#8217;s something I was recently told about by a friend (the admin for the Lunarsoft website and forums) and once you think about it, makes perfect sense. The WWW mindframe came about back when the web was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running distributed computing software with BOINC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is actually something I&#8217;ve been having my computers do for a while now, but I&#8217;ve only decided to post about it now. If you&#8217;re like me, and you leave your computer(s) on all the time, why not let them do something useful while they&#8217;re just sitting there. You can help various research projects by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Logitech G15 Rev 2 - A quick review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; I picked up the revamped Logitech G15 keyboard today because I had heard good things about the original, and the reviews of the second revision were also positive. After having used it for a few hours, I decided to throw my two cents out on to the &#8216;net. There&#8217;s not much point in me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kinda gimmicky, but it works</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m usually not one for all kinds of fancy crap, but I needed a new razor the other day, and decided to see what this &#8220;power razor&#8221; stuff is about. I picked up the Gilette Fusion Power, and was pleasantly surprised. It makes the blades a hot knife, and your chin hairs turn to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Died in a blogging accident.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; XKCD has made a pretty big GoogleBomb with it&#8217;s latest comic. Going from 2 to over 21,000 hits on Google in the space of a day or two is pretty damned impressive.
I figured I&#8217;d add one more to the list&#8230;
