		<title>Self Developing Skills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an individual who is able to quickly adapt and build skills to meet the needs of a project, it&#8217;s difficult to truly gauge in a relative manner those skills compare to other individuals.

		<title>New Technology Growing Pains</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, over a week ago, I received a replacement graphics card for a Radeon HD 4850 that suffered from overheating issues when the internal case temperature rose during a long gaming session.

		<title>Fun and Annoyance with Adobe Encore CS3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I was working on the DVD for a project I videotaped earlier in the year.  I decided I&#8217;d fiddle with the Copy protection features built into Encore, just to familiarize myself.

		<title>More Windows 7 Findings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after installing Windows 7 on a laptop, I found my missing &#8220;dim screen&#8221; option.  It would appear that it is a laptop only feature of Windows 7 now.

		<title>My Relationship with my Software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, last week I found a wonderful bug in Nero 9.4.13.2 with Windows 7 RTM.  I, of course, filed a tech support request with Nero for some assistance on the matter, ignoring my previous experience with their support telling me basically that the last bug I found was something they really didn&#8217;t care about (it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Truth about Network Neutrality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The title of this entry is being bounced around an awful lot lately.  With big telecommunications companies (&#8220;Delivery&#8221;) being against it, supported by their &#8220;free press&#8221; and propaganda.  Meanwhile, those considered &#8220;Big Content&#8221; are all for it, along with a great number of people online.

		<title>Windows 7 + Nero 9 + Multiple Burners = problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was trying to burn some DVDs this evening using my pair of ASUS DRW-2014L1T DVD+/-RW and found a nice new bug in Nero 9, or more specifically Nero 9.4.13.2.
