		<title>Clouded thinking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw a post on the SMBManagedServices@yahoogroups.com newsgroup today.
&#8220;I just hope we are still far from a future where a client can just walk into walmart, buy several X-Box based internet &#8220;X-Books&#8221;, and pick from rows of plastic activation cards to outfit a new business startup with virtual hosted servers, online apps and hosted backups. Then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cloud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi again,
The Cloud!
It seems everyone is talking about it. Some say ignore it, some love it. But what is it really and how does it effect us SMB IT Consultants.
First thing is, we have all been using cloud computing for a decade. No we haven&#8217;t some say&#8230;Well their wrong. Where is their website based? I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Licensing update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, first day in and the Microsoft Licensing Sales Specialist course is excellent!  
Holy crap, did I just say that! I didn&#8217;t fall asleep once and even listened to the Enterprise stuff. Now feel ready for the exam though not in a &#8217;salesy&#8217; way. This was pure scenario based learning with real world insights and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Licensing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I signed up for the 44IN006 &#8211; Intensive &#8211; Microsoft Licensing Sales Specialist Training event, held in the new Microsoft Headquarters in Edinburgh.
It didn&#8217;t seem to be on any of the normal Partner Training sites. However, it was announced on the Tartan Tech Blog which many Scottish partners may have missed or don&#8217;t subscribe to!
Check here for great [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s me again!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi all,
Many apologies to all who have read and will read this blog. (I hope)  
I have committed a cardinal sin. One I promised I wouldn&#8217;t, namely stopping blogging for a while.
This of course turned into months!
Some good reasons for this though:
1) Re-branding: change of company name and focus. Working on new website as we speak [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dark Side!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some may know, I do work with Apple Mac stuff. Some may call it the Dark Side of the force, especially as some of their clients will be asking about the shiny new iPhone and linking it to Exchange!
I am not going to get into a Mac vs Windows discussion, each have their place and I try [...]]]></description>

		<title>HP Servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The server (souped up desktop PC) I have been using for three years is frankly f***ed.
I bought myself an HP ML110G5 with dual core Xeon, four 250gb non-hot swap Sata drives of the new HP Midline range and bumped the ram up to 6GB. Also comes with a next business day 3 year on-site support [...]]]></description>

		<title>SBS 2008 RC0 DNS issues?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a heads up regards SBS 2008 RC0.
I and a few others are having issues with DNS (have a look on Microsoft Connect at your dashboard if you have the public preview and check the bug reports).
Every couple of days internet access flakes out. Testing from the router is fine, Ping and DNS diagnostics run [...]]]></description>
