		<title>Texas BBQ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently attended a Dell/EMC SAN training course located at Dell&#8217;s HQ in Round Rock, Texas.  I&#8217;ve been to South Austin several times before and the BBQ is awesome.  I decided this time to hit as many BBQ places as possible.  I was able to make it to 5 different BBQ joints, all of which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Phone 7: Will It Suck?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years of pushing a tragically stale operating system on unwitting corporate users, Microsoft is promising big things with the release of Windows Phone 7.  &#8220;Rebuilt from the ground up!&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;It will save us from our phones!&#8221;&#8230;Pretty bold statements for a first-release product.  I&#8217;ve seen plenty of reviews and photos of the various models.  Paul Thurrott [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally a Point-and-Shoot That Doesn&#8217;t Suck.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[EDIT: Turns out the W80 sucked after all (well actually it&#8217;s alright but had some issues).  Multiple reviews said so.  I ended up going with a new model Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 and it is by far the best point-and-shoot I have ever used.  Extremely durable, waterproof and it takes great still photos as well as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Samsung &#8220;Epix&#8221; Failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit it: I&#8217;m a sucker for candybar smartphones.  Sliders are nice and feature-rich, but I prefer a front facing keyboard for the convenience it provides.  That&#8217;s why I jumped at the chance to try Samsung&#8217;s recent WM6.1 Pro candybar, the Epix: Samsung Epix Product Page On paper, it has all the makings of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Open A VMware Workstation 6.x VM with VMware Server 1.x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although we have some user licenses for VMware workstation 6.0 at work, I still prefer the Server product, as it allows you to run VMs in the background as the local system account.  Additionally, the Server product can be configured to automatically startup/shutdown VMs based on the needs of the host.  Either VMware Workstation does [...]]]></description>

		<title>Customizing Email Addresses With the Exchange Recipient Policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By default, Exchange creates email addresses based on the default smtp domain name and username.  If you want to customize email addresses, you can set the recipient policy to do so automatically, using special variables.  This can come in handy if you need to add a secondary domain address or if you wish to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accessing the Virtual KVM on a DRAC5-Equipped Dell Server with IE7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve talked before about Dell&#8217;s remote access card, DRAC5 in a previous post.  Although a great tool, sometimes just accessing certain features is a pain.  Surprisingly, current DRAC5 cards don&#8217;t have very good support for IE7 or Firefox, which comprise the lion&#8217;s share of browsers out there. Although I haven&#8217;t found a good fix for [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Configure a Cisco Switch for Network Sniffing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it&#8217;s necessary to analyze (sniff) packets flowing thru a network for reasons such as congestion or virus outbreaks.  I can remember two specific occasions where I had to sniff: 1. A user had fired up a p2p tool and was downloading some music files 2. A user had set an OpenGL screensaver on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disable Windows Update Reboot Nag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Windows Update is a great tool for keeping your computer up to date.  However, some updates require a reboot and will keep nagging every 10 minutes to reboot your system.  This can be quite annoying, but with a new system policy setting, you can tell the Windows Update interface to not bug you for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Internet Explorer Connection Limit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I prefer Firefox for most browsing these days but occasionally I still need to use IE.  Unfortunately, there is a hidden setting in IE that limits the number of simultaneous connections per website to 2!  That means if you need to download more than a few items from a particular site, you will have to [...]]]></description>
