		<title>CiviCRM + WordPress + Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I am testing the CiviCRM 4.1 beta 3 release on WordPress.  On WordPress, you may ask?

		<title>The death of the PC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Each day, more computer users will free themselves from the PC*. Predictions are for the death of the PC, though in this weeks Apple WWDC 2011 keynote with the introduction of iCloud it has only been demoted and yet killed. I say the PC will never be dead, for some. This freeing trend is twofold: [...]]]></description>

		<title>CiviCRM 3.1.4 Import Contacts tips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tasked with importing thousands of records from a different product into CiviCRM software, I dragged my feet. I was not looking forward to the learning curve and time required to fully understand the import procedure and how to do it error free. To test and clean the data without messing with the live CiviCRM installation, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The nice people at TELUS have upgraded my ASDL speed to their High Speed Turbo. I've only had it for a day, and I cannot complain getting 5Mb/second downloads. Kudos - now, please work on increasing the maximum upload speeds.]]></description>

		<title>CS Cart 2.0.8 and Canada Post shipping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing works completely. I should start by saying that CS Cart has impressed me greatly, and it is probably the best shopping cart software I've used. The administrator area is simple and powerful, and the templates (skins) are relatively easy to customize. Getting shopping cart software to run propertly for a business in Canada is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Be a NaNoWriMo rebel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a few days time of pondering, I decided today I will participate in the 2009 NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). But I am not going to write a novel.

		<title>DBDesigner4 is good enough for me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before: After: When you need to understand a new database schema, making a model like this is a big help. I still like DBDesigner4 fromfabFORCE.net to get these simple models done. Yes, I know there's a much newer GUI program, MySQL Workbench, that could do a better job. One day I'll have time to test [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smarty template engine and tomorrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a short code snippet to share, if you want to do simple date calculations using the Smarty template engine. As a very short preamble, I've used Smarty off-and-on for eight years, and it's great. I find its simplicity and power outweigh bloated frameworks on a regular basis.]]></description>
