		<title>Blackberry Blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the unexpected disconnection of my cell phone early in June, I&#8217;ve been suffering from a lack of on-demand data access. The constant email drip I was accustomed to is long gone, as well as the anytime, anywhere web access. Moving overseas is a lengthy and difficult process, with the result that I haven&#8217;t yet [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=144&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Woot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first experience with woot.com was a huge success. The quad-core PC I ordered prior to my arrival in TX was a wise purchase. I was finally able to break it out of the box last night and was very pleased with the result.
Thanks to twitter (I know I use that phrase way too often), [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=140&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Delayed Gratification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am almost afraid to admit it, but I haven&#8217;t had a new laptop since 2002. I used that one like a desktop, so I never bothered to replace it. Lately, however, I have been increasingly more frustrated with not having a good mobile solution. My Bold does fairly well, especially now that it has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=133&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Decluttering with KVM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As soon as I unpacked my first server and began setting it up, I quickly gained an appreciation for the sysadmins at all the various computer labs I&#8217;ve used over the years. It&#8217;s a true skill organizing all the cables and working out the logistics for how best to connect everything with the space and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=128&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Demetri Martin, my new hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m usually guilty of being that jerk that sits at the back of the audience and stares ahead stonefaced during stand-up comedy. I&#8217;ve rarely been to a show I&#8217;ve really enjoyed &#8211; I just don&#8217;t find it very funny. There are two exceptions &#8211; the first was Dan Antopolski&#8217;s rap about sandwiches at the Wolfson [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=122&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Abraca-Jaunty-Jackalope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All these great new distributed networking ideas keep coming to mind, but most of them get dismissed with the &#8216;I can&#8217;t afford it&#8217; trump. Being a student certainly has it&#8217;s advantages, but when it comes to satisfying my interest in expanding my home network, it&#8217;s not much fun not having any cash flow.
I&#8217;ve recently gotten [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=113&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Static IP Bug in Intrepid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I set up ssh on my new linux box yesterday, but when I tried to log in this morning after a restart, I wasn&#8217;t able to. After re-installing ssh and changing all my router settings back, I discovered I couldn&#8217;t even ping my box. This was at least a relief since it meant the problem [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=111&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Twitter API</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To my delight, after trying out the Twitter API, I found that it only took a few minutes to master. For my purposes, posting updates involves a single curl statement. Wrapping that sucker up in some lightweight perl code couldn&#8217;t be easier. In fact, all I had to do was add a line or two [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=108&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>CurrentCost Setup on Xubuntu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a difficult few weeks writing papers and getting very little sleep (more on those later), I finally found time to set up my new Viglen MPC-L. Out of the box, it booted up fine and I was able to connect to my temperamental router after assigning it a static IP and adding a few [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=102&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Daemon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I confess. My birthday isn&#8217;t until the 22nd, but I&#8217;ve already opened my brother&#8217;s present. And what a good present it is!
If you haven&#8217;t picked up a copy, this book should be number one on your next-in-line-to-read list. Or better yet, throw whatever you&#8217;re reading right now aside and start this one.
Yes, it&#8217;s that good. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasmichelle.com&blog=6503094&post=99&subd=texasmichelle&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
