		<title>Data network broken in iOS4? Here&#8217;s how to fix it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick post explaining a problem I found when upgrading my jailbroken (using spirit) 3.1.3 iPhone 3GS to iOS4. I did the upgrade last night, and noticed this morning that my data network didn&#8217;t work at all. WiFi was working fine, but network data wasn&#8217;t at all. After a bit of googling, I came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 Media Center &#8211; CoreAVC and AC3Filter, and some useful plugins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a guide to setting up Windows 7 Media Center, and configuring it to use 3rd party codecs such as CoreAVC and AC3Filter. I&#8217;ve been using an old Vista machine as a media center for a long time. It&#8217;s not great spec, so I use CoreAVC to playback HD content. Firstly, here&#8217;s a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Managing multiple iPhone backups through iTunes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I found slightly irritating about the way iTunes backs up iPhones is the fact that it only keeps the most recent backup. This means that if you accidently delete a text, photo, or something else that&#8217;s backed up and only realise after you&#8217;ve backed up again, it&#8217;s too late. Also, the fact that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using iTunes for iPhone music if you aren&#8217;t an iTunes user</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently changed from Windows Mobile to an iPhone, after getting tired of Windows Mobiles sluggishness and general lack of innovation. I don&#8217;t like iTunes, and generally prefer to manage my music manually in explorer, and use winamp to play songs/albums. I know of alternatives like SharePod which allow you to manage music on your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backing up servers onto a linux box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having been bitten a few times by not backing data up, I&#8217;m now pretty anal about making sure my servers are backed up. First, a little bit of background. My network consists of a large number of linux boxes (mostly debian and ubuntu), and various windows servers running anything from XP, to 2000 and 2003. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best ways to copy large amounts of data between servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a sysadmin, I often have to copy large amounts of data between servers, and there are a few ways of doing this (each with their own pros and cons). I&#8217;ll try to explain the most common methods here, and give examples and benchmarks. 1, Simple compression and encrypted transmission This is probably the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Custom text on a Dell Poweredge LCD display</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently got some Dell Poweredge R410 servers, and I thought it would be quite useful to change the LCD text to something meaningful. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a bit more of a pain than I was expecting, but I have it working, and a PHP script to update the display. First, you&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monitoring a Dell PERC 6/i RAID Controller in Ubuntu and Debian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is something which took me quite a while to figure out, but it can be done fairly easily in a few minutes. This guide will install Dell OMSA and use omreport to view the status of the RAID. First, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa dell sara Then, if you try &#8216;apt-get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installing and using memcache on ubuntu and debian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you don&#8217;t know what memcache is, the official site says the following: &#8220;memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.&#8221; Basically, what this means is that memcached is a daemon running on a server which allows [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple port forwarding using iptables</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m posting this mainly because I forget the exact syntax, but it might be useful for others. This applies to all services on all ports, but for this example I&#8217;ll use the standard IMAP port. For example, if I have a mail server (listening for IMAP connections on port 143) which isn&#8217;t accessible from outside [...]]]></description>
