		<title>Moving Windows Desktop Gadets without them snapping into place.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All you have to do is hold the Shift key while moving them. &#160;This is great for when you&#8217;re trying to line up your gadgets and they snapping/sticking to the side of the screen or to another gadget.]]></description>

		<title>Slow Firefox 3.5 in Vista 64 bit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was having some issues with Firefox being terribly slow, particularly on Facebook and Google Reader. I started disabling extensions and it turns out that the Skype phone number highlighter was the culprit. So if you&#8217;re having the same problem, there&#8217;s one quick thing to check.]]></description>

		<title>Going Microsoft for awhile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was an interesting 3 years using Ubuntu.  Linux has come such a long way since the first time I tried it back in 1999.  It&#8217;s a usable, functional OS that has most of the features/programs that people need.  It looks good and works well.  However, it just has this unfinished feel.  It lacks polish [...]]]></description>

		<title>WEP vs WPA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When securing your wireless router, you are given basically two choices.  WEP and WPA.  WEP encryption does two things:  it encrypts your wireless internet with a hex (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F instead of 0-9) string like &#8220;5FE321A&#8221; and it sucks.  It&#8217;s a pain to remember the key and it&#8217;s easy for hackers to break.  WPA allows you to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A few great Firefox Add-ons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are a few Firefox extensions that I&#8217;ve used that I really, really like and feel lost when browsing without them.  I highly recommend all of these add-ons.  (They work in Windows, Linux, and I assume OS X.) Tree-Style Tabs This puts all of your tabs on the side of your browser instead of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ubuntu 9.04 ftw!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I upgraded my Ubuntu 8.10 (32 bit) to Ubuntu 9.04 (64bit), and the difference is amazing.  There are little things, like the new notification system and slightly different themes, but the BIG thing is SPEED.  Everything is faster.  It boots faster, it opens programs faster, Compiz&#8217;s framerate is much higher&#8230;.I&#8217;m very impressed. Now just waiting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring in the Klamath Basin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alisha&#8217;s mom was down last week, and we went for a walk on the trail along Lake Ewauna near downtown Klamath Falls.  The wildlife was out and about.  Here are some of the photos I took. Hopefully I&#8217;ll get out and take some photos of the wild flowers around here before they all whither.  I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>
