		<title>Designing an HTPC (part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the second part of the article on designing an HTPC. In part one, I described the hardware components and assembly steps that I used to build the device.

		<title>My Roomba</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been using the Roomba 560 model for the past year and am generally pleased with its performance in my apartment.

		<title>Streaming media library to PS3 with MediaTomb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the goals that I had for my media center was to have the ability to directly play music and movies from my Linux Server. The PS3 provided half of this functionality by supporting wireless streaming and connections to UPnP A/V servers. MediaTomb filled the gap by enabling my Linux Server to stream my [...]]]></description>

		<title>T-Mobile&#8217;s Touch Pro 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been several years since I got a new phone. My old Eten M700 was starting to look a bit dated and the battery would only last for several minutes of talk time. T-Mobile&#8217;s Touch Pro 2 looked like the perfect replacement since I was already a customer. The TP2 immediately felt like a huge [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting up a Canon MX860 Printer on a 64-Bit Linux System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought the MX860 printer because I knew it had Linux support but getting it setup was a bit harder than I had anticipated. The fist step was getting the proper drivers (since the CD that came with the printer only had Windows and MacOS drivers). Luckily the Linux drivers were available on the Canon [...]]]></description>

		<title>PHP Authentication Over Unsecured Internet Connection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I wrote my earlier article on Managing Users in a PHP Web Application, I neglected to mention that the authentication mechanism is only acceptable when users are connected over a secure connected (HTTPS) or are on a trusted network (such as a corporate intranet). We went through great lengths ensuring that the passwords are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transferring Linux Server to a 1&amp;1 Shared Host</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I was forced to relocate my Linux server so I decided to try out 1&#38;1&#8242;s Shared Web Hosting package. This option was a lot cheaper then paying collocation fees at a server farm and provided a solution that is a bit easier to maintain. The challenge was setting up the environment to have the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Distributing Bookmarks over a Secure RSS Feed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Background The goal was to create a simple and secure way to distribute and synchronize bookmarks across multiple desktops, different browsers, and different operating systems anywhere in the world.
