		<description><![CDATA[Long story short... we have two cats, that I like just fine and the wife absolutely loves. Actually there are three total, two of which showed up as strays and have been taken care of us for several months. We are getting ready to move and the location does not suit one cats inside life and outside potty style and we feel like, with it lacking a garage that it would be best to get to just the one cat. Much regret, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. That is all some background, as my real gripe is with the people who can NOT read the rules that are for the site Craiglist.org and some of it is not without complaint toward Craig himself mind you...

		<description><![CDATA[Most of you have probably already into some internet site today that is either completely unavailable to you or more likely been altered and redirecting you to information about SOPA and PIPA.  Some of us that are very in tune with the technology world and especially the behind the scenes process involved in making the internet work were looking forward to today, mostly to see who was going to join in the movement and support and who, especially among the big companies, would not.  What is SOPA and PIPA and why all the fuss anyway?  Good questions...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know, I last left you with the intent of posting on a more regular basis. But I think it was that afternoon, or more likely late that evening a long time tech friend got back to me about something I had said about my going through various Linux distributions over the Christmas Holidays. Specifically, said friend was pointing out the error or my conception regards to Linux Mint being a version or two behind where Ubuntu was. I am not sure if that was just because of my previous testing sometime ago or just a complete error on my part, but regardless, it pointed to some additional exploration being required on my part.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spent a good part of the early morning hours going through things here on Mephistos doing some cleaning up and it made me realize a few things. The kinds of things I was cleaning up was primarily links to other sites and almost all of the things I realized had to relate to just that. Clearly it is not something I had done in a while, as a few of the blogs I was linked to(aside from my own) had completely died, not having had a single post in all of 2011, others had completely changed the focus or were not even a blog any more, and yet others had resurfaced that I had removed some time before. A clean up of links and review of plugins and processes was clearly in order.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have taken the advantage of the Christmas Holiday time, with some much-needed time away from deadlines and such at the office, to get back in touch with Linux. Actually, let me append to that, I had not left the Linux world, but rather, outside of some short quick glances into Ubuntu 11.4 and 11.10 I was stuck back in a 10.4 world. My personal and work machines were either running 10.4 or dual booting there and Windows XP or 7.0. I do have a couple of machines with Centos and such setup, but honestly, I can not recall the last time that I booted them. So, over the time I have had off, I have installed somewhere in the neighborhood of four distros and played around. But the question of the week is Unity or Gnome 3?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know, I have had this debate before, but I am still being torn between the idea of which is better - the traditional book, made of paper that is printed on, especially a hard back volume and the e-book reader version that I can get so handily on my Kindle device (or for that matter my iPad, laptop, or even desktop computer). I keep thinking back on all those wonderful years I have had with books, but similarly keep thinking about the pluses of the electronic edition and some of the greener ideas behind it as well. I was especially thinking of this today while watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy movies this afternoon, based upon probably my favorite books ever, by J.R.R. Tolkien.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just heard about this great little tool called Handy Start Menu. Any of you are using a flavor of Windows 7 or say it is not true, Vista, has seen the way all the programs and folders kind of get jumbled and lumped all together under the 'All Programs' label. It is nice to have them all in one place, but has led lately to have put a LOT of icons on my desktop. This is fine for most folks I suppose, but I tend to lose the desktop behind what I am doing, so I needed a change. Quite by accident, I stumbled in Handy Start Menu early this morning and explored around with a little bit, and while a pretty good idea, it led to my even better one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Realize that a few months ago I gave Disqus a trial run based on something I had read about it pulling in comments from other sources. However, that particular function seemed to work sporadically at best and so after a few days of testing I rolled it back. However, without much brain power having been spent, it is clear the comments increased during that short-lived attempt. So, now I come back asking if I were to consider a return to such a community/comment building system - which is the better option - Disqus or the very popular IntenseDebate?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last few days I have been working on moving my blogs (and a few other sites) over to a different hosting platform, of sorts at least. Specifically, what I have been moving too is actually semi dedicated virtual server over at Linode. So, basically what you get over there is a blank virtual sever that you can put whatever flavor of operating system you desire and build everything from the ground up. Setting up a LAMP based server on an Ubuntu flavored server was my plan and the way I went forward...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All I can really say about this awesome little PHP tool is just how much I wish I had a known you sooner.  I recall the last time I moved WordPress sites around in mass from one server to another.  Fortunately at that time I was only really working with two sites that had really large databases and in the end at that time I just did some cutting up myself in smaller sections of SQL stuff in order to get them to run in both a time and memory space that the server would allow.  As I am preparing to that again with some of my stuff and even more importantly on a large-scale with some sites at work I needed to find something else. Enter stage left, BigDump.]]></description>
