		<title>Seagate and I: Broken up for Good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		Dear Seagate,
What a love-hate relationship we have had.  It has been 10 years, and while I have enjoyed much of it, I have suffered enough heartbreak.  I think it is finally time to say goodbye.
Drive after drive has died on me (5 of them to be exact).  Your firmware release to fix [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheap! &#8211; Xbox Live 12-month Card</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		As of tomorrow, Sears and KMart are both offering $35 12-month Xbox Live Gold cards on their respective web sites.
I&#8217;m not sure how much they are charging for shipping, or if the &#8220;cards&#8221; are being sold as electronic codes (a la Amazon), but it&#8217;s worth a look either way.
The special continues through the 21st, so [...]]]></description>

		I have been having issues with my keyboard for as long as I can remember.  The Shift, Control, Windows, and Alt keys were not functioning properly at all and were becoming quite the annoyance.

		<title>Enabling 64-bit Capabilities on HP Workstations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		
		
		
		I recently tried installing Ubuntu x64 in VMware on my 32-bit Windows machine.  I have done this in the past for other 64-bit operating systems, however not on this particular workstation, which is an HP xw4600.  The process is typically very straightforward since VMWare has a &#8220;Easy Install&#8221; process for known operating systems.

		Is there such a thing as too many threads?  Of course there is.  Well, for the time being, that is.
I am currently putting together an audio conversion application, and I was doing some testing to see what number of concurrent conversions produced the best results in respect to time.  Conventional wisdom says that &#8220;bigger/more is [...]]]></description>

		Yet another Seagate drive I own bit the dust a few days ago.  The current victim is a Barracuda 7200.11 500 GB drive.  I can&#8217;t quite recall when I bought it, but it is still under warranty for quite some time.
