		<description><![CDATA[Permutative Schedule Calculation One of the most compute intensive tasks in the RSportz system is the scheduling code. It turns out that scheduling pool and cross pool games between a number of teams is actually a rather challenging computer science problem. Add in seeding, home/away venue requirements, and calendar limitations and you have yourself a [...]]]></description>

		<title>RadioParadise HD Plugin for Windows Media Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve become a big fan of RadioParadise.    It&#8217;s a listener supported, commercial free radio station which plays a great mix of new, old and eclectic rock, with a random mix of everything else when they feel like it.  Actually, it&#8217;s best explained if you just go there and listen.  I also have a shortcut [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ubuntu 10.10 VNC keyboard mapping nightmare.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Amazon EC2 dev box crashed yesterday and I had to rebuild it from scratch. Installed Ubuntu 10.10, configured VNC and ran into a keyboard mapping problem. Every time I hit the letter &#8220;d&#8221;, all my windows would iconify. I went down many false paths as did this poor soul, applying solutions from old releases.   [...]]]></description>

		<title>Replacing the ATI Radeon 5450 with an NVidia GT 430</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I had reached the end of my rope with the MSI ATI Radeon card on a couple fronts. I had HDMI bitstreaming working with Arcsoft TMT (as long as AnyDVD was running), and I could even put up with the flaky Catalyst UI and drivers. But I was stymied trying to get the refresh [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hulu update and quick Media Center Studio fix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just received a comment on an old Hulu/AutoHotKey fix I had done sometime ago to get a better resolution for Hulu streaming.    Seeing this, it occurred to me that since then, Microsoft made some changes that broke Media Center Studio.   Searching the  Australian Media Center Community (which has a couple interesting projects you won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 Sleep Debugging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after I added the SSD to the HTPC and moved my hard disk into the  NAS drive, I began to notice the machine no longer automatically goes to sleep.    If I hit the power button (set to sleep) or run it from the command line (%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Standby) the machine goes to sleep just fine, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jumbo Frames, iSCSI and Disabling Nagle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the new project (which I get to spend about 15 minutes a week on) has been to remove the mechanical harddisk from my HTPC and have it run completely silently off the SSD.   The first stage was purchasing the ReadyNAS NV+.  2TB drives have dropped below $100 so a NAS device with 1Gb networking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open Apple Pages .pages files in Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick fix for Grammie.   Someone had sent her some .pages files and she couldn&#8217;t open them on Windows 7.    Turns out that they are a Winzip compatible file archive with a PDF preview in them.      Since she doesn&#8217;t even have Winzip installed, I simply exported, edit, and imported the .zip registry entry so the Windows [...]]]></description>
