		<title>WordPress MU Merge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WordPress and WordPress MU will cease to be separate products.  Incredibly, there doesn&#8217;t seem to be a decent announcement.  The guy who owns WordPress mentions it at a conference, the wordpress developer blogs talk about it as fact, and the process has already being tracked on the WordPress Trac website, but but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Site Maintainence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I performed several backups and upgrades on this site today.  We are now on WordPress MU 2.9.1.1, and all plugins are up-to-date.  Based on the change logs, I hope this will resolve some of the posting issues our contributors were having.   Please report any bugs or problems.

		<title>Comptia Net+</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I passed the Net+ exam today with an 805 out of 900.  Minimum score is 720.  I think I got by more on good logic and troubleshooting skills than I did on knowledge.   A lot of the test focused on enterprise networking technologies like WAN.  I&#8217;m not too good with [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Mouse with Button Barf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An amazing number of people think that genius is doing something random and then marketing it.   A perfect example of this is an 18 button gaming mouse.  The Inquirer has an amusing review.   Reminds me of Wes Peden&#8217;s juggling. . . It&#8217;s different, totally random, and completely unappealing.

		<title>USB3 and SATA3 have arrived!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last, Gigabyte has released a motherboard with integrated USB3 and SATA3 chipsets!
A decent article can be found on The Inquirer.  Gigabyte&#8217;s website also has an overview.  Only a couple hundred bucks on newegg. . . not bad for a new release.
For those not in the loop and desiring the overview, USB3 allows [...]]]></description>

1. WordPress-MU install was upgraded to the latest version: 2.8.4a
2. All plug-ins were update to their latest versions.
3. Post&#8217;s from Ethereal Land blogs are once again being pulled automatically into the newspaper.
4. The site administrator can once again change post [...]]]></description>

		<title>From sand to packaging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Intel has put an awesome pictorial tour of how modern computer processors are made&#8212;from sand to packaging.  It is somewhat simplified so anyone non-technical can understand, but it is still a great education.  I highly recommend you check it out.

		<title>RIAA Loses Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From CNet. . .
a few weeks after the verdict was handed down, U.S. District Judge Michael Davis threw out the verdict on the grounds that he originally misguided the jury by indicating that simply the act of making a copyrighted song available for sharing amounts to infringement. A new trial has been rescheduled for March.

		<title>Silence the Fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, someone has come up with an improvement in the often-overlooked flaws in computer equipment&#8212;noise. La Cie has found a way to make quieter computer fans. They are only selling them on their server hardware it seems, but I hope the technology is adopted for home and office PC&#8217;s as well. Fan noise can be [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCain Campaign sells Info for $20</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The McCain campaign really fouled up the selling off of their surplus IT equipment. 

When we charged them up in the newsroom, we found one of the $20 Blackberry phones contained more than 50 phone numbers for people connected with the McCain-Palin campaign, as well as hundreds of emails from early September until a few [...]]]></description>
