		<title>FZ750 &#8211; Windscreen Arrived &#8230; the Wrong One!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just when you think things are going well &#8230; I ordered a replacement windscreen for my FZ750. The one it came with is cracked. This is the last thing I need to do before taking it in for a safety check. So I got excited when I called the bike shop and they told me [...]]]></description>

		<title>FZ750 &#8211; Almost Ready for the Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s spring, the nice weather has arrived a tad early, and I&#8217;ve got the itch to ride. Readers will know that I&#8217;ve been having troubles with the clutch. Last fall I replaced the plates with brand new EBC plates with new Barnett springs in place of the stock units. That helped but I still had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Choosing a Social Network Solution Provider</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Organizations looking to mobilize and motivate their employees by implementing a social network are in uncharted territory when it comes to evaluating the various products available in the marketplace.

		<title>PMO May Come to Regret Afghan Document Dump</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The latest tactic by the Harper PMO in the effort to stifle the Opposition&#8217;s efforts to get to the bottom of the Afghan detainee issue may have backfired. The so-called Document Dump strategy basically involves releasing an overwhelming number of documents in response to demands for a selected few; the idea being that the Opposition [...]]]></description>

		<title>FZ750 Awakens From Hibernation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spring has arrived a month early in these parts. With the melting of the last remnants of snow I put the battery of my FZ750 motorcycle on a trickle charge for a few days and on Wednesday of this week I installed it in the bike and fired it up. She started on the third [...]]]></description>

		<title>Macs Cost Less to Support &#8211; Recent IT Study Says</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s something that came as no surprise: A recent survey of enterprise IT managers that administer both PCs and Macs finds that Macs have a lower TOC (total cost of ownership) than Windows boxes, and require less user training and help. It came as no surprise because Macs have a reputation for ease-of-use. Most business [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux on the Desktop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back to running Linux on the desktop. I took a few months hiatus due to some overheating issues that seemed to coincide with my update to Ubuntu 9.10. Others running various laptops had the same problem. The problem as it turned out was caused by an out-of-date BIOS in the laptop. Once I flashed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recalibration Throne Speech &#8211; Rex Murphy&#8217;s Take</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Harper government&#8217;s recent speech from the throne came after months of shuttered parliament, a necessary break from the inconvenience of democracy required so that the government could take time for careful thought toward recalibration. Indeed, until this past Wednesday parliament has been adjourned since prior to Christmas of last year. One would have thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ecto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using Ecto to write articles, post them and manage the blog for the past month. I like it so much I paid for a license before the trial ended. This tool is so much more convenient and effective. I much prefer the quick response of a desktop app over an HTML interface which [...]]]></description>
