		<title>Best social media advice ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://www.inc.com/magazine/20100301/lets-take-this-offline.html is generally about blogging. But take a look at this quote:
&#8220;&#8230;99 percent of these bloggers are doing it wrong. The problem? They make the blog about themselves, filling it with posts announcing new hires, touting new products, and sharing pictures from the company picnic. That&#8217;s lovely, darling &#8212; I&#8217;m sure your mom cares. Too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upsert in Windows Sql Server 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Upserting means that you want to update the record if it exists or insert a new one if it doesn&#8217;t.
I found a secure solution for this at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/108403/solutions-for-insert-or-update-on-sql-server

begin tran
IF EXISTS &#40;SELECT * FROM TABLE WITH &#40;updlock,serializable&#41; WHERE KEY = @KEY&#41;

   UPDATE TABLE SET ...
   WHERE KEY = @KEY
end

		<title>Selling my laptop&#8230; Mac vs. PC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to sell my 2007 Macbook Pro. Now I&#8217;m trying to decide what I want to get to replace it. I&#8217;ve been hearing that Apple will be releasing new Macbook Pros with the i7 chips, which would be really cool. We&#8217;ll see how much they are.
Right now, I can get a PC laptop for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Use your keyboard to navigate pagination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is in C# asp.net, but can easily be converted to other languages.
I assume on your paginated page that you have some sort of &#8220;page&#8221; variable and &#8220;page count&#8221; variable. Write those variables out in Javascript:

extraJs.Text += &#34;&#60;script type=\&#34;text/javascript\&#34;&#62;var page = &#34; + pageIndex + &#34;;\n&#34;;
extraJs.Text += &#34;var pageCount = &#34; + pageCount + &#34;;&#60;/script&#62;&#34;;

Next, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I.T. = Waste of Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been a personal witness to a serious waste of time and money on trying to fix/upgrade/manage an email server. It&#8217;s ridiculous. This should have been outsourced. Take a look at DNAmail. For $3 a month, you can get complete email hosting. 
In addition to trying to fix/upgrade/manage an email server, I have seen [...]]]></description>

		<title>PHP vs C# asp.net</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Facebook, PHP is 10 times slower than C# or Java. Makes sense. Compiled languages should run faster than interpreted languages.
There are PHP web servers which then aggregate data from dedicated web services, in-memory caches and their relational database. They use PHP on the front-end because it is easy to learn, easy to develop [...]]]></description>

		<title>Password security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read about the Rockyou hack (http://techcrunch.com/2009/12/14/rockyou-hack-security-myspace-facebook-passwords/). I have a couple thoughts.
1. Protect against SQL injection is obvious. They should have done that.
2. Hashing and salting passwords is another obvious thing to do. They should have done that.
3. BUT, why do websites ask for a password on signup anyway? I recently developed this process [...]]]></description>
