		<title>kos-mos is dead, meet t-elos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The old file server was a beast. 2 2.4GHz dual-core Opterons, the old 90nm chips. 5GB (don&#8217;t ask) of RAM. And&#8230;2.7TB of storage, with a big pile of 250GB and 500GB drives mashed together into several arrays that were dumped into a volume group. The whole thing was encrypted just for kicks. There was also [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pulseaudio suc&#8211; wait, it works??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day, I wiped the media PC which was running Windows 7 and installed Ubuntu 10.10. I was tired of everything &#8220;just working&#8221; and not having to screw around with anything just to watch a Flash video or 1080p movies. I went with the AMD64 release because I feel like less of a man [...]]]></description>

		<title>Refinanced at last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After I gave up on the Make Home Affordable (ha!) program, I pretty much gave up on refinancing entirely. I guess one benefit of the awful economy, though, is that interest rates remained low and actually continued to drop substantially. When the spread between what I was paying and what was available went over two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wireless network revamp completed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nearly completed, anyway. The way it wound up is the old WRT54GL with DD-WRT still holds the internet connection. The WRT610N is bridged to it over LAN, and both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks are in use there. Final result is three wireless APs set up. The G network contains devices that only want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make Home Affordable: Conventional refi out of the question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost forgot to mention this. Obviously, US Bank never got back to me about a Home Affordable Refinance. Funny, I&#8217;m pretty sure that if I missed a payment I wouldn&#8217;t even have to ask them to call me! Anyway, with rates low again I looked into a conventional refinance. I obtained a few quotes, none [...]]]></description>

		<title>This post served over wireless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After deciding I was probably never actually going to get around to running CAT-5 in the new house, at least not in the near term, it was time to do something about the abysmal transfer rates offered by the powerline networking I had been using.]]></description>

		<title>Dead hard drives from flight sim project: 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like to say all hard drives fail, it&#8217;s just a matter of when. Well while going through hardware to build these flight sim boxes, so far two drives have turned up bad. Both were working when stored. Mirror everything unless you want to lose it!]]></description>

		<title>Building the airplane: engines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With a new display for my main workspace upstairs, I now have three identical displays for use building my flight sim machine! Things have shifted around a bit hardware wise since the last time I attempted this. Then, I used a single dual-core system (Athlon 64 X2 4400+) with two Nvidia 7800GT cards to drive [...]]]></description>
