		<description><![CDATA[This Christmas season I flew back to Vancouver to visit family.  I used up the last of my points to fly business class so I could bring extra luggage (for presents).  While I must compliment Air Canada on their lounges, I have to say that the web site and baggage handling (at Ottawa in particular) leave [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not all Practice is &#8220;Good Practice&#8221;&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently listening to the audio book &#8220;Influencer&#8221; by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, and David Maxfield.  I&#8217;m about half-way through, but thought I&#8217;d share a couple of tidbits because the book is truly thought-provoking if you are the kind of person who is interested in effecting positive change in your organization, personal life,  community or the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The power of Social Neworking&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was away at Web 2.0 Expo in New York  this past week &#8211; a conference for those interested embracing and extending the opportunities created by Web 2.0 technologies. Ironically, it was the use of one of those technologies, social networking on facebook in this case, that got a huge amount of local press for our [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Enterprise Lost my business and Budget Won</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m in NYC for the Web 2.0 Expo, and decided that I wanted to rent a car for one of the days I am here.  I was on wireless on my BlackBerry 8900 curve, because data roaming is killer on these things.  Unfortunately, the G band wireless at the conference leaves a lot to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Network routing is the bane of my existence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, we put in a hosted VOIP system, whereby we just have some polycom phones here, and the PBX is hosted by a VOIP application service provider.  Fortunately, our Astaro firewall had built in VOIP security and SIP support.  I simply entered the hosted provider network IP and our internal network IP, plugged the phones into [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to keep web developers happy and productive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Web developers are a special breed.  I find that they are often far more creative than other types of application developers I have come across &#8211; with many having artistic or creative side interests.  Because so much of what we do on the web ultimately winds up as a user interface, or affecting the user, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How did I get here?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know, looking back over my career, I realized, I have actually migrated servers across datacenters (whether they be self-owned, co-located or fully managed services), six times now. SIX times.  3 of those have been largish migrations, one included 4 nearly full racks of servers. 
If you&#8217;ve never migrated from one datacenter to another, I can say without [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poll/Question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you were a service provider and your customer (who is currently spending something bigger than a breadbox with your company) reported that their accounting clerk had mistakenly paid you nearly $10,000 too much because you kept billing them for a service you were no longer providing to them, would you:
a) take a month to &#8220;deliberate&#8221;, then stick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am now in the process of abandoning the  Turnkey 32-bit Ubuntu appliance at VPS.NET.  It&#8217;s been crashing daily, despite the upgrade to Jaunty.  VPS.NET has comped me 3 nodes for a month to get a 64-bit virtual going. Unfortunately, the stock LAMP install doesn&#8217;t come with things like phpmyadmin, and there is a lot more work to configure the [...]]]></description>
