		<title>Viewing CHM files from Network Drives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok. So this is not a particularly new problem. You get an application, which comes with a help file in the CHM (Compressed Hypertext) format. Works great as long as you don’t try and open it from a networked drive. &#60;sigh&#62; So, what to do? Well, Microsoft has a pretty complete suggestion here. But, it’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fading two Video Windows in WPF</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was discussing some future features of a commercial jukebox application with the author a few days ago and he lamented about what weak video support the library he had used had for video. In particular, he really wanted to be able to cleanly fade one playing video into another, very much along the lines [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remote Workers Are Actually More Engaged</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting article by Scott Edinger over on LifeHacker. He lists several reasons for this apparent contradiction, and I’ve seen first hand examples of the good and bad in my last 12+ years of on and off remote work. One element Scott doesn’t touch on is how different remote work experiences can be. I’ve found that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Contract Down&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read that one of the marks of a good programmer is that they&#8217;re able to code themselves out of a job. I&#8217;m not sure about that, but, I did finish up this contract earlier than expected, so once again, it&#8217;s time to get out there and find a new gig. If you or your company [...]]]></description>

		<title>SED and AWK for the VB Guy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Generally speaking, when I need to do a little file manipulation, I usually fire up .net, whip up a little VB.net command line app to do the trick and off I go. However, a few nights ago, I needed to do some manipulation on a largish (30+meg) xml file. The manipulation itself was fairly simple: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gotta Love Texas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A neighbor down the street picked up a tank a few months back. He’s always driving it around (it’s completely street legal, tagged, plates, etc). But you almost have to have a spotter riding up top to help tell the driver whether there’s anything in the way or not. That thing’s got some monster blindspots [...]]]></description>

		<title>iGoogle Alternative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve used iGoogle for ages as a start page, as have many people, so Google’s announcement that they’ll be killing it off late in 2013 came as a bit of a shock. Ok. No big deal. Surely, there are any number of “Home page” sites out there that can do essentially what iGoogle did. Well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Free Text Editor to Give NotePad++ a Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve used Notepad++ for years now. It’s a great free editor, is reasonably fast, very configurable, and had a fairly wide swatch a features, plus a very nice plugin architecture and quite a number&#160; of nice plugins are available. If you haven’t checked it out, it’s definitely something to investigate. However, there are a few [...]]]></description>
