		<title>The Linux desktop needs to be pre-installed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe that regular users (i.e., non-developers) are unlikely to start using Linux on the desktop until they can get it pre-installed.  The reality is that all OS upgrades are a nightmare.  Lots of people had horrible failures when trying to upgrade from XP to Vista, and even the Tiger to Leopard upgrade [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roomba positioning challenges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Roomba iRobot looks like an incredibly fun product, though it&#8217;s reviews as a vacuum cleaner have been mediocre.  I love, though, that the same technology has military uses: &#8220;The Army has deployed PackBot, a reconnaissance robot from iRobot, to scope out caves and other dangerous locales in Afghanistan and Iraq.&#8221;
Clearly, someone has not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Viewing filtered mailing lists on Bloglines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of mailing lists out there that occasionally discuss an area of interest, but don&#8217;t necessarily have a great signal-to-noise ratio.  I generally want to filter them by either sender or for keywords in the body, and trash the rest of the messages.  I also prefer to have the filtered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google AdSense doesn&#8217;t honor their policy on inappropriate content</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, let me make clear that I think Google AdSense is one of the most extraordinary services on the web and is hugely important in making large parts of the web sustainable over time.  It&#8217;s a new service that they&#8217;re constantly enhancing, and so I expect them to fix this problem eventually.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cisco VPN fails after suspend/resume and causes Matlab execution failures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife&#8217;s new Toshiba Tecra M3 was hobbled by two major Cisco VPN bugs.  The first problem is caused by a bad interaction between the Cisco VPN client and the Intel Wi-Fi driver, which fails to work when resuming from a suspend.  The second is that the newest Cisco VPN drivers cause random [...]]]></description>

		<title>Training SpamAssassin with a LearnAsSpam IMAP folder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve found that many installations of SpamAssassin work well, but end-users don&#8217;t optimize them to train their Bayesian filters on false negatives (i.e., spams that get through).  A LearnAsSpam IMAP folder is a great solution for this, which even works with Exchange users (they just need IMAP turned on at the server).
I wrote up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Link to NYT Single Page format</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a trivial annoyance, but I&#8217;ve never liked that the default for viewing NYT articles is a multi-page format.  Whenever I start an article, I always click on the Single Page icon so that I can digest the rest of the article without waiting for any page reloads.  Now, with the the Firefox [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adding Google AdSense to MediaWiki 1.4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More publishers are becoming familiar with AdSense as a revolutionary business technology for monetizing eyeballs (i.e., for generating revenue from the viewers that spend time perusing your site).  Here are the directions for adding AdSense to your MediaWiki 1.4 installation.  You can see the results at PWS Notes, a wiki on a rare [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox Extensions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I highly recommend switching to Firefox, which is a much better browser than Internet Explorer.  To really get the value, I recommend installing a bunch of extensions.  I took the time to go through the ones currently available, and here is what I&#8217;m currently using:
