		<title>Fedora to Ubuntu Server Experiences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This blog runs on my server box, which also acts as my mail-server, source-control server, MythTV backend and as a general file server. Up until a few days ago it was running Fedora Core 4. I&#8217;ve been happy with Fedora Core as a distro. It&#8217;s well-supported by third-parties and by its own community and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Further Upgrade Adventures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All the kit for the upgrade I discussed in my last post arrived in good order and time. I used scan.co.uk and overclockers.co.uk and I&#8217;ve never had any issues with either of them, although I hesitate to suggest that any online retailer is going to be perfect for everyone. The components were all built into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upgrade Chicken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks back, while playing WoW on my desktop, I was treated to about 30 seconds of the virtual world crumbling into graphical oblivion. Parts of it stretched themselves toward an unseen origin while other parts changed colour like confused polygonal squid. Then the machine locked up. After a few attempted reboots that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Limits of Productive Ignorance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently been working on a lot of user interfaces. I am not using the term in the common, rather narrow, sense of a GUI, but in the broader sense of any and all forms of abstractions that are intended for practical use. These have included:


The Ant scripts for a build/test process and the file-system [...]]]></description>

		<title>Au Revoir, Vista</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a few months with the Vista Beta and RC2 I eventually had to switch back to XP after suffering too many incompatibilities with software (mostly games, it has to be said) that I wanted to run. When a friend recently told me that he had secured an upgrade copy for his laptop, my suggestion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the problems with running Akismet is that you don&#8217;t get pinged about comments to moderate and the blog is easily forgotten. At least that&#8217;s my excuse along with being overcome by a general winter apathy. Anyway, my gaming PC died, leaving me looking for other ways to fill a few hours and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vista RC2 Experiences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The spam-bots have reminded me that I haven&#8217;t posted in a while. So here&#8217;s a post to shake them off.

I&#8217;ve been using Vista RC2 since a few days after it came out, and it&#8217;s holding up pretty well. It installed with none of the problems I had with the previous beta I tried. The major [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amarok Acquitted, Samba Owns Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post I smeared Amarok unjustly by claiming that it was not dealing with unicode filenames. In my defense, I thought this was the case because everything else seemed fine. However, events have transpired that remove the blame from Amarok, and I apologise (the stuff about podcasts and m4a files is still true [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Reasons Not To Get Grandma To Install Ubuntu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post I mentioned a few issues I had with getting a functional Ubuntu laptop. Well, the niggles continue, and I think it&#8217;s worth listing them with solutions and workarounds where I&#8217;ve found them.

Input Device &#8220;Hiccoughs&#8221;

Since I installed Ubuntu, I&#8217;ve noticed an odd hitching or stuttering in the pointer movement where every so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dapper Laptop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using Fedora Core Linux as a server OS for a fair while now, and I do occasionally use the desktop on that machine via VNC for initiating large downloads that I don&#8217;t want to tie up my laptop with. I haven&#8217;t used Linux as an everyday OS and, although I&#8217;ve been curious about [...]]]></description>
