		<title>PCW_CAB_VS_10260</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got an error about the cab PCW_CAB_VS_10260 being corrupt while adding a feature to my Visual Studio 2005 installation. The installation had been updated to SP1, so my guess was that this was somehow due to me trying add a feature to my SP1 updated VS 2005 installation while using the original VS 2005 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dell XPS M1330</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I just got my Dell XPS M1330 today and I attempted to do a clean install of Windows Vista. It didn&#8217;t work. I&#8217;d keep getting a Blue Screen after the installation rebooted. The problem is due to the fact that the original Windows Vista disc does not have the Intel Matrix Storage Technology Driver.

		<title>Ask.com vs. Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big time Google fan but after seeing Ask.com&#8217;s ads, I decided to give them a try. So I set my homepage (which is set to Google.com) to Ask.com for an entire week. Here is what happened.

Ask.com Website Preview
Ask.com&#8217;s website previews aren&#8217;t very useful. It&#8217;s more of a novelty in my opinion. Waiting for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Live Hotmail Badge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I get an email from Hotmail&#8230;errr I mean Windows Live Mail&#8230;wait I really mean Windows Live Hotmail. I&#8217;d know its name if Microsoft didn&#8217;t quit changing the name every few months. Why not just leave it named to Hotmail? The Microsoft branding team really has too much time on its hands.

		<title>C# and Partial Classes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With .NET 2.0, Microsoft introduced Partial Classes which allows class definitions to span multiple files. The only use I had for it was to add a new method to the System.Math class. But that&#8217;s not possible. Why didn&#8217;t Microsoft make it so that we could augment core .NET classes with new methods like in Ruby?

		<title>With More Choices and Complexity Comes Unhappiness?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading &#8220;The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less&#8221; by Barry Schwartz. The Amazon editorial review notes that &#8220;a bewildering array of choices floods our exhausted brains, ultimately restricting instead of freeing us.&#8221; (I quoted the Amazon review because I wouldn&#8217;t be able to word it any better myself)

So this week I got [...]]]></description>

		<title>MSDNAA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MSDNAA seems to be the best kept secret in the Computer Science Department at my university because it&#8217;s been almost 3 years and I&#8217;ve found out about it just now. I think I know why too. The sys-admin has to manually burn each CD (yes, I said CD, not DVD). Windows Vista, which I will [...]]]></description>

		<title>UNIX: Using select(&#8230;) with Multiple Sockets in C</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re having trouble with listening to multiple sockets (or file descriptors) in C in UNIX, then I&#8217;m going to save you a lot of time by posting some sample code. I found my answer in a discussion dating back to 1999.

Here is part of my original code:

for (i = 0; i < MAX_SOCKETS; i++) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Closing Down The Main Website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Closing down the main website was a very difficult thing to do for me. I would really like to have left it there for people to surf. But I&#8217;m too busy to manage the website or update the content regularly. The main reasons I closed down the website were the following: spammers and hackers.

		<title>Busy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I haven&#8217;t been blogging much it is because I have started an internship with a software company. I&#8217;d rather not say the name since it seems that blogging about your workplace and your employer can get you in trouble (it would all be positive though). So I&#8217;m a software developer and spend the entire [...]]]></description>
