		<title>Only 24 hours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most technical people who scour the web for information, I&#8217;ve come across some really smart people who write their thoughts, offer help, write tutorials, and also somehow manage to hold down a day job AND manage to (presumably) have a life outside of work.
One of the most impressive people has got to be Scott [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Screen of Death</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last few days we have seen a huge surge in people experiencing what has become known as the &#8220;Black Screen of Death&#8221; - a bit of a play on the infamous Blue Screen of Death (both are now being called the BSOD).
The problem affects Windows OS&#8217;s from XP through to Windows 7.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>MCMS, XML Web Service and AJAX Data Collection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I found myself having to create a system by which I could capture some user data from a web application using some unobtrusive javascript.
I settled on a system using jQuery, jQueryUI and an XML Web Service.  The basic idea is quite simple: the user clicks a hyperlink, this triggers a form to pop [...]]]></description>

		<title>Create a Windows Form Wizard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I found myself needing to create a Windows Form application that would allow the user to enter details for an operation over several steps and then commit the operation in the final step.  Essentially, I wanted to create a &#8216;wizard&#8217;.
I didn&#8217;t want to creat a huge complicated form and thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iterate through a list in T-SQL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many is the time that I have had a list, perhaps created in the front-end of a program that, was pushed through to the database and then needed to be iterated through.  Essentially I wanted a simple way to do what in JScript or CSharp is a String.Split(','), returning an array of strings.
Usually I [...]]]></description>

		<title>CV Writing Tips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m not claiming to be an expert on this, but I&#8217;ve been on both sides of the fence when it comes to recruitment and I think I&#8217;ve learnt a thing or two about &#8216;effective&#8217; CV writing.  I&#39;m not going to mention all the &#39;usual&#39; ones like checking spelling, grammar, staying in the 2 page [...]]]></description>

		<title>Handling Orphaned Database Users</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#8217;t the first time I&#8217;ve had to deal with orphaned users in SQL Server, and probably won&#8217;t be the last but today I found myself investigating why it happens and how to resolve the issue it causes.

		<title>Firefox Certificate Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you are using Firefox 3 (and many people are now beginning to), you will notice that if FF does not like the site&#8217;s certificate it will stop you dead in your tracks.

You can get past this page with about 4 steps but this would easily scare or confuse most web users.
