		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Dreamhost moved me to a new server without warning, I&#8217;ve been trying to get my custom SpamAssassin install working the way it used to. I&#8217;ve finally succeeded, but it hasn&#8217;t been easy&#8230;
Because of the new infrastructure plan, new email accounts and shell accounts have been completely isolated. I thought that I wouldn&#8217;t need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I had occasion to try to remedy an intermittent internet connection in Turkey&#8230; It ended up being more challenging than I had anticipated. There was a LAN with a remotely-located (around 100 meters away) proxy server, and it worked intermittently. A ping to the proxy server showed no problems, unless there was congestion on [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve already been using OpenDNS for quite a while, after realizing that most of my Internet losses of connectivity were, in fact, failures of my ISP&#8217;s DNS servers. Recently, however, I was searching for a simple, free, effective porn blocker/web filter for a friend of mine with young children, and I was surprised to learn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Over the past month, I&#8217;ve had the decidedly unpleasant task of returning three out of four 500 gig Samsung hard disk drives (HD501LJ models) for RMA replacement. One had just been purchased from Newegg, and the others were a few months older, meaning I&#8217;d have to return them to Samsung for replacement.
Two of the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had occasion to contact Newegg&#8217;s customer service twice recently, and was impressed both times.
The first time, I had purchased a Samsung hard drive that was dead on arrival. I didn&#8217;t even have to call Newegg. A few clicks on their website, and voila! A few minutes later I had my RMA number in my [...]]]></description>
