		<description><![CDATA[In the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve been working with a company that is using ScoutApp&#8216;s hosted monitoring service, which provides a nice interface to quickly get up and running with a lot of basic information about a system. This SaaS solution, while a paid service, allows a team to get their monitoring metrics put into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So today I&#8217;m hanging around home, and figured I&#8217;d geek out a bit and play around with my home entertainment setup. I have a Samsung 42&#8243; plasma TV, great picture, connected via HDMI to my TimeWarnerCable HD-DVR box. Also connected is my Xbox 360, via component, and I typically use that (when not playing games) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back I wrote about using Nagios as a monitoring system. Since then, I&#8217;ve had need to have it deployed via a packaging system called RPM, and since no &#8220;stable&#8221; community editions are out there, I have the need to &#8220;roll my own&#8221; for distribution on our platforms. I&#8217;ve never used RPM from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back, we began investigating centralized monitoring tools for multiple systems, cross-platform, alerting, etc. One contender was a package from MS, and a few others were tossed in the ring. We did a proper match-up (or shootout, as I prefer) and tested a couple of candidates. While the all-inclusive MS offering is probably the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may know that I don&#8217;t hold much love for Apple&#8217;s operating system. It feels so clunky compared to my Windows-fu knowledge, and the change from one to the other is not at all simple.  I&#8217;d rather use Ubuntu, to be honest. But here&#8217;s my current beef with Mac OSX &#8211; my machine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So here it is. The revelation. You thought it would never happen. It&#8217;s almost unbelievable. I&#8217;m still unsure of it myself. But this memorable event will go down in history, I&#8217;m sure. I now have a Apple Intel-based MacBookPro, running some wild-animal version of an operating system, and it&#8217;s very pretty. Not much more than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So a while ago, my friend David sent me a funny article (funny for us, not for the article&#8217;s subjects). It showed what some brilliant SysAdmin had done at his company&#8217;s location, and how it backfired miserably. Read it here: A &#8220;Priceless&#8221; Server Room: Priceless &#8211; Worse Than Failure I hope you enjoy reading the [...]]]></description>

So naturally, I do what any average person would do. Whip out my BlueTooth ear piece and connect it [...]]]></description>
