		<title>Apple iPad &#8211; Initial Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new Apple iPad may be a game-changer:

An iPad would encourage me to change how my personal email at shawnreed.com is served.
An iPad may encourage me to change how my Linux Servers are accessed.
An iPad could potentially retire my iPod Classic.

		<title>The vBulletin Debacle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no such thing as a smooth transition these days. It appears that the even planned anxiety can be challenged with unexpected problems.
Most of my free &#8220;hobby&#8221; time is spent on vbulletin-based forums. My experience with vbulletin doesn&#8217;t yet span half of my total experience in building and managing communities, but I feel that my [...]]]></description>

		<title>36-inch CRT died this week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last holdout, a Sony KV-36XBR800.
It was a wonderful TV, manufactured at a time when HDTV was still a developing technology (it&#8217;s HDTV interface was a DVI plug instead of HDMI). During the six years of service, it was not only the centerpiece of my living room, but a source of comfort for several children [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discussion Forum URL SEO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Search Engines have been indexing and cataloging all types of websites, and have improved over the years. I didn&#8217;t rewrite URLs on TriumphRat.Net for several years and it was indexed in search engines just fine. In fact, I didn&#8217;t have to submit the site to search engines or generate any sort of sitemap either. Near [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bye Bye DirectTV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Roughly four years ago, my wife made an attempt to obtain our geographically-local TV stations through DirectTV. Due to our circumstances, DirecTV was able to oblige but the install failed due to trees that obstructed the view that the special &#8220;second dish&#8221; required.
I learned this weekend that DirecTV had been charging us the monthly fees [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heart Gallery Site Updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had free time today and did some additional work on my wife&#8217;s Heart Gallery site.  The redundant content has been removed, and it now facilitates both books and news of interest to those considering adoption or becoming foster parents.
Although international adoptions will likely slow down, due to a variety of issues, one of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Email Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made a change yesterday evening, when voting results were starting to come in, which caused email to the ShawnReed.Com Domain to be blocked. It took a while, but the issue revealed itself a short while ago.

		<title>Motorcycles International &#8211; Going Well!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new site and server infrastructure is doing extremely well, it&#8217;s cool to see the results of my efforts.
There have been some minor code/formatting tasks that have come up, but the site is better for it.
It will take a while to build a new community, but the feedback has been great.

		<title>The Finishing Touches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The theme development effort on the new Motorcycles International site has reached it&#8217;s end and I&#8217;ve been working since last night to wrap up all of the details. Primarily coding all the little things that aren&#8217;t considered in a project plan.
It is extremely cool to see a long-time dream come to reality!
