		<title>My Conspiracy Theory on the Verizon 3G Commercials</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may have seen them, Verizon&#8217;s commercials touting their superior 3G coverage and poking fun at Apple&#8217;s there&#8217;s an app for that iPhone byline.  You may have also read various articles on the spectacle that has ensued surrounding these commercials.  AT&#38;T is crying foul, and Verizon&#8217;s response has basically been that the truth [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not this leg!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife has a couple of external hard drives that she keeps her pictures and other transportable files on.  Recently, she&#8217;s been doing some cleanup work on those drives, making sure all of the files exist on one of the drives so that the other can be set up as a synced copy.  She completed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you putting your personal privacy at risk for your company?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I listen to a number of podcasts in the TWiT network.  Actually, I&#8217;m normally playing catchup as I&#8217;m subscribed to a number of their podcasts.  One of the podcasts I&#8217;ve been catching up on recently is TWiL - This Week in Law - hosted by Denise Howell.  It&#8217;s definitely a bit on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on broadband deployment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, another politically-slanted post.  I&#8217;ll try to keep them to a minimum, I promise.
There has been much discussion lately on the subject of broadband deployment in the United States.  I fall on the side of the fence that says that our broadband deployment yardstick is long out of date.  I am happy to see the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ludicrous records retention requirements on new Senate bill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I usually try to steer clear of political issues.  In areas where politics and technology cross paths, and perhaps collide in a blinding flash of light, I must make my two cents known.
I&#8217;m from the great state of Texas.  Until the other day, I had no opinions on one senator from Texas, Senator John Cornyn.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>My 802.1X Web Presentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my time working in the Networking Services department at UT Dallas, I gave a presentation for the EDUCAUSE community about the work I did to transition our wireless LAN security from the static WEP security in place at the time to the more enterprise friendly 802.1X based security that it uses today.  I first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday, Pentium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Next Saturday, March 22, a mere 11 days from now, the Intel Pentium processor will turn a grand 15 years of age.  The Pentium marked a pretty dramatic increase in x86-based processor optimization capabilities, namely the introduction of multiple instruction pipelines.  The optimization gains were so much so, that many software packages don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zimbra alias domains vs. individual aliases</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I love about Zimbra as an administrator is the fact that it includes some decent graphing functionality in the administration interface.  I can quickly see the health of my Zimbra servers and the affects of any configuration updates I&#8217;ve made.
Many companies and other organizations these days have multiple domains, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Specifying Transports in Zimbra</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had occasion today to need to do some &#8220;creative&#8221; email routing for one of my Zimbra servers.  Charter Communications appears to have either blackhole-routed or simply firewalled traffic coming from a block of IP addresses that I recently acquired.  I guess that the last person/company to use these addresses may have upset [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Parallels, Hello VMWare Fusion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a Mac guy, but, as with many others, my position as an IT support person requires me to use Windows regularly (and know it inside and out, of course).  As such, Parallels was a no-brainer when I got my MacBook Pro.  When Parallels stopped working for me after installing the Mac OS [...]]]></description>
