		<title>Exchange Permissions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you have a need to see which mailboxes John has access to without opening every single box and looking? No problem!
I wrote Exchange Permission as a result of a post on Experts Exchange. It is very simple to use.
THE BASICS
The first parameter is the user in question and of course is required. It needs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whew!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t blogged in some time. I have been so busy and that is a good thing. But, finally scaling back the throttle for awhile.
As such, hopefully more time for blogging and definitely now I have sometime for school again. A six month break was good but now I&#8217;m feeling rusty on that side.
The work [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vista Redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve wrote previously about my Vista woes along with perhaps 99% of the rest of the planet&#8217;s population. Four weeks ago, I pieced together (literally) some older and newer components to build a new machine. Although on paper, its not all that much, but it blows away the old machine. Continuing the Vista plunge, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>InterOp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It surprises me sometimes that so many Windows programmers are not using the .Net InterOp classes with MS Office. InterOp allows you to do so many things far easier and with builtin Intellisense to boot. Using techniques like ADO.NET to examine Excel spreadsheets for example is so outdated. They were the only way to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing around with this thing for a day now. I must say that its very snappy compared to the Vista that usually resides on the box.
My opinion is still not formed on it, but, it looks very promising. Hopefully over the weekend, I can really put it to some tests. Plus, I&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vista Performance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally took the plunge and did an in place upgrade of XP to Vista Ultimate over the weekend. All in all I must say the upgrade went without a hitch, other than it took hours to do it!
So much has been written about Vista performance, I won&#8217;t rehash it here. I&#8217;ve tried all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>BlackBerry Spam Part Deux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AT&#38;T is at it again. This time, my home screen got loaded up with a bunch of icons going to their steal your money sites! Who buys that stuff. Definitely not I. I have no need for ringtones, graphics, games, and other downloads from AT&#38;T. Some of those you can get for free from RIM [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Books (Well almost!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apress publishes some of the best programming books around IMHO. I&#8217;ve got a few of them sitting above me on the shelf. I&#8217;ve just discovered that they have a eBook Deal of The Day everyday. For a period of 24 hours, starting at 12:01AM PST, they have a particular eBook available for just $10. Considering [...]]]></description>

		<title>BlackBerry Spam (AT&#038;T)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that I have noticed over the last year of being on AT&#38;T BIS network is the occasional Spam about ringtones and other things that you have to pay for. It strikes me as odd since they all are from AT&#38;T. Never mind that with BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 installed, you can create a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft Certified Master Program</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I overheard a conversation at the bookstore about the Microsoft Certified Master Program and just had to take a look. After all, I am very deep into the tech of Microsoft and figured who better to go for it.
After more research however, I&#8217;m glad I hesitated before plunking down my $125 application fee. Seems that not only [...]]]></description>
