		<title>Mercurial on University of Nottingham Computer Science Servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a while now, I&#8217;ve been using Subversion to keep track of personal projects and coursework at university. SVN is installed on the UNIX servers as Computer Science, so it&#8217;s a relatively trivial process to get up and running with a repository when I start a new assignment.
Recently though, I&#8217;ve been looking in to Mercurial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Custom Section Numbering in LaTeX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For our last coursework (which was for a really interesting compilers module), I chose to present my answers in LaTeX. It&#8217;s been a very steep learning curve, but I&#8217;m extremely happy with the results. I don&#8217;t even mind the slight drop in productivity that&#8217;s caused by my uncontrollable urge to stop and admire my document [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux-Windows Integration (à la Likewise-Open &amp; Winbind)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of work trying to integrate Linux &#38; Windows machines on a single network. The project begun with a need to allow windows users access to file shares using Samba, and Linux users access to the same data using NFS. As you may know, Samba (or more specifically the SMB [...]]]></description>

		<title>It Begins&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The country has just undergone a mass-exodus of university students from their parents&#8217; houses back into halls. I played by own small part in blocking up the roads moving back into university accommodation this weekend, and it&#8217;s all gearing up for the new school year.
I&#8217;ve been working with Django more and more lately, and I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exchange 2007 Autodiscover Issues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past week, I&#8217;ve been upgrading my e-mail system to Exchange 2007 (I was previously using Exchange &#8216;03). For me, it&#8217;s very useful to have the systems that I write about, and consult for, installed at home in a &#8220;semi-production&#8221; manner. It means that I have a system to work on, and I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Trials and Tribulations of Django + Git</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished my last exam today &#8211; Web Programming and Scripting &#8211; which explains the distinct lack of activity around here in recent times. Thankfully I could end my exam season on a high, as web programming is, well, what I do &#8211; so it wasn&#8217;t too much of a challenge!
Something strange happens to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roaming Firefox Profiles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a sort of follow-on from my last post, I thought I&#8217;d write a little about the latest little addition to my system &#8211; roaming Firefox profiles. This is something I had always considered to be almost impossible to achieve, without complicated logon and logoff scripts that syncronise the correct folder(s) to give the same [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Server 2008 Migration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Thanks to the MSDNAA program, I&#8217;m able to try out the latest version of Windows Server in the lab. I opted to migrate my domain accross to a new machine, instead of performing an in-place upgrade. Personally I feel this is a much safer bet, and tend to migrate domain controllers whenever I&#8217;m doing something [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Latest Project: BackTrac Backup System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My life has been pretty busy as of late, mostly with a new project I am working on called BackTrac. I am developing a network backup solution, written entirely in Python &#8211; using the Django framework as a front-end web interface.This came at quite a good time, as I&#8217;ve been asked to give a presentation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leveraging VSS and Robocopy for Robust Backups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To go with the recent network upgrades and anti-spam system, I have been working on a new way to back all this information up. The solution I&#8217;ve come up with is surprisingly simple: VSS Snapshots with Robocopy to mirror the changes. The basic idea is that the backup script creates a Volume Shadow Copy Service [...]]]></description>
