		<title>Boosting ThinkPad X40 with SSD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I was able to obtain a beautiful piece of hardware &#8211; IBM ThinkPad X40.

		<title>Promise TX4310 vs. Intel ICH7R</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I wrote a recipe how to lose 2 TB of data.

		<description><![CDATA[Due to some issues with MS SQL 2005 and Reporting Services I was forced to update installation at our customer&#8217;s site to at least Service Pack 2. What seemed to be a trivial task turned into a nightmare (and daymare as well).

		<title>giving Vista a second chance&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In February 2007 when Windows Vista was released I gave it a try and was as many many other users quite disappointed.
