		<title>Alleviating Windows DNS performance problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Windows DNS system is central to ActiveDirectory so you can&#8217;t exactly get rid of it.  Unfortunately, it suffers from performance issues, especially when its coupled together with your primary domain controllers. I&#8217;ve experienced these issues on iSCSI storage, Fiber channel, and high speed 15k RPM SAS drives (albeit I haven&#8217;t tried solid state).  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux not ready for the mass market&#8230;why is this a bad thing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So with the recent release of Ubuntu 9.10, bloggers out on the net are both decrying the readiness of Linux for the desktop, and trying to figure out what&#8217;s left to inhibit it from accessing the mainstream user. Ok lets be honest, Ubuntu is not mass market ready, but then again, there&#8217;s no such thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hysterical Logic (or the &#8220;Science&#8221; Delirium)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a physics student in college and I also work as a programmer for the Department of Environmental Quality here in Oklahoma, so believe me when I say, I&#8217;m inundated in an atmosphere of real scientists, but it never ceases to amaze me how, when observing society, how many people claim to be on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft, on the ropes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is Microsoft on the ropes right now?  It certainly seems so with the high levels of attacks they&#8217;ve been levying on the Linux and Mac market (even though M$ does own most of Mac, I&#8217;d call their attacks on Apple merely a charade for the public). It may seem like they&#8217;re clearly trying to take [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tale of Two Couriers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually its a tale of just one. I&#8217;d like to take the opportunity to praise UPS (the United Parcel Service) for their end result in an extraneous case. My friend had me build him a computer, but he lives out of state so I had to send it off.  UPS has good prices in comparison [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty and Pidgin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been experiencing issues with Pidgin randomly freezing, locking up, and behaving erratically in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. I looked into the issue and ran into this bug. If you&#8217;re unfamiliar, Canonical did some significant changes to libnotify in 9.04 and that bug seemed to tip me off to the problem. I use the nVidia [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remove GRUB from a Mac under OSX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I seem to deal with the most obscure scenarios known to computing, and here&#8217;s another one. So you&#8217;ve installed Ubuntu on your Mac running a dual boot with OSX, but you messed up and accidentally installed the bootloader to the MBR.  Well this will render your system useless as Mac&#8217;s use EFI and GPTs, rendering [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Open Letter to Oklahoma Colleges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This message was originally sent to the Daily Oklahoman as a letter to the editor but I decided to post it here too. Note: This letter was written to Oklahoman schools but its easily applicable to quite a few colleges, check your institution&#8217;s policies and such, they may be hard to find. Also, this document, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interesting information about colleges&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re talking engineering colleges, names like MIT and Stanford pop up.  When you think of technology you really think about Silicon Valley in the Bay Area of California.  You may even think about Cambridge, MA (its a little less known but still important startup bed). Well, considering the prestige of those colleges is it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Call for Recommendations: Linux Distro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok here&#8217;s the scoop.  I&#8217;m starting work on a Linux distro meant to be run as a live OS with persistent changes on a USB flash drive.  The distro is targeted at Computer Science students so they can take the distro with them.  I&#8217;m debating building it as a desktop OS as well to be [...]]]></description>
