		<title>How to get Sansa Clip and Clip+ recognized in banshee or Rythmnbox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note to myself:
Create a file:
.is_audio_player at the root and insert:
audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORD/
output_formats=audio/mp3 
audio/mp3 can be replaced with OGG but most of my music is from Amazon so it is MP3 now and I want to avoid the hassle of converting.   Should probably convert the whole lot though Banshee will convert on the fly so may [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another reminder for myself&#8230;.
To get Notes 8.5 on Linux to open attachments create a symlink to the latest version of libgnome-desktop-2.so
For example on Jaunty:
sudo ln -s libgnome-desktop-2.so.11 libgnome-desktop-2.so.2

		<title>Disabling CAPS Lock in Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is mostly a reminder for myself, my Father in Law&#8217;s laptop has a very touchy caps lock key.  Here is the reg file to disable it:
Create a file called something.reg.   Paste this into it and save it.   Then import this registry change:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
&#8220;Scancode Map&#8221;=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00

The full sametime client [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open-Source Flash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent some time testing Gnash and swfdec and while both worked ok for general use neither was consistently good enough to replace the closed-source Flash.   With both some video sites would work while others would fail miserably.   
I don&#8217;t want to in any way diminish the work that either of [...]]]></description>

Lotus Notes
Adobe Flash
Video Driver (Nvidia)
Intel wireless firmware.
Lotus Notes is what we use at work so it is not going away very soon (at all).
