		<title>What not to do when promoting your business online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I discovered the Copyblogger site after I installed their WordPress theme on AdvoCard&#8217;s intranet. However, I started reading their blog, which gives some great ideas for marketing your business online.  It&#8217;s particularly useful if you&#8217;re struggling to get your blogging off the ground.  In this article &#8211; which caught my eye &#8211; Melinda Brennan turns [...]]]></description>

		<title>Portable Apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do love the fact that I can use of many of my favourite apps from a USB memory stick (such as Audacity, Firefox, Filezilla etc).  Portable versions of many popular open source and freeware apps are available for download at portableapps.com. All this can happen without installing anything on the local (windows) PC.  In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple Mac appreciation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In contrast to my other post, I have had some positive experience using Apple computers recently&#8230; I decided to set up a small, low-power server in one of our offices at AdvoCard.  It&#8217;s not our main server (that&#8217;s a PowerMac G5 on the other site), it simply has to serve files to an office comprising [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mobile handset changeover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was on the point of writing a long post about how I got a Nokia Xpressmusic 5800 totally configured for work/leisure usage. However, I realised that my Vodafone pay-as-you-go usage was equivalent to a contract which could get me an HTC Legend.  So I signed up last week, and, frankly, I&#8217;ve never looked back.

		<title>The trouble with Apple Macs&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Usually my posts are all about solutions.  Sadly, this one is about an unresolved problem. I work at an Edinburgh-based charity, AdvoCard.  In one of our offices we have 10 PowerPC Apple Mac G5s.  They all run OS X 10.3 at the moment.  This is a problem because I cannot purchase an upgrade.  10.5 (Snow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nokia WordPress App</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just discovered an app to manage my WordPress blogs from my mobile. As I have yet to succumb to the marketing ploys of Apple and HTC etc., I have been required to do a bit of searching for a tool for my Nokia 5800 xpressmusic. If this sounds interesting to you as well, visit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Debian Linux for Servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve built quite a few Debian-based office servers in the last few years.  Recently, I used this tutorial which was very helpful (given that I don&#8217;t do this every day, I can&#8217;t always remember every step &#8211; so tutorials are good for me). There are lots of good reasons for using Debian.  My main ones [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting back to DMA mode in Windows XP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having some major problems with audio performance on my laptop of late.  I listen to a lot of mp3s, as well as some fairly heavy audio processing in Ableton Live.  So when I started getting some serious glitches, I needed to get it sorted. After defragging my hard drive, checking for viruses and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boot multiple linux distros from USB stick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my most used tools is a live Linux distribution booted from a USB drive.  I&#8217;ve been a fan of pendrivelinux.com for a while which gives tutorials for getting various distributions up and running on a USB drive. Amongst other things, running a live pen drive installation allows me to run various diagnostic and [...]]]></description>
