		<title>Upgrade to WordPress 2.7.1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to try the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plug-in (v1.2.5). All things considered it was pretty easy. I am not sure that it functioned correctly at the end of the process (from where it activates the plug-ins again) Despite this it seems to be functioning correctly.

		<title>How to talk to your Web Designer and Developer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Talking to your web designer can be like going into a coma, and waking up in China &#8211; alone. Sure some small percentage of us can understand the way they talk. The vast majority will however feel inadequate, confused and frustrated.
Your web site’s success in supporting your objectives is directly related to your ability to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Standards Based Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Currently, the only standards specification I can find for ESBs is the Java Technology Specification JSR 208 &#8211; JavaTM Business Integration (JBI).
This standard is closely tied to Java and J2EE/J2SE. This is perhaps not strange as almost all commercial and open source ESBs are developed using Java. As a matter of fact, I know of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Products</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a list of all the ESBs I could locate. As a base definition for what an ESB is, I am using the definition as found on Wikipedia.
From my own experience of implementing solutions using the earliest ESB prototypes from late 1999 and early 2000 (yes, even before anybody coined the term ESB and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Batch Pattern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After some recent projects I did and looking at the performance of other projects I am beginning to form a definite opinion about using an ESB for batch processing.
What do I consider to be batch processing?  Gathering up data for a period of time, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly and then submitting it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warentless Wiretaps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is pretty clear that the Telecom companies engaged in activities that gave spy agencies access to all telephone conversations that started and/or ended in the USA or that crossed a wire running through the USA. They have done the same for e-mails and web traffic. We have seen the pictures and schematics of these [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Sense of Right and Wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am regularly amazed by the lack of a sense of right and wrong from politicians and business people. Maybe it is just because I am living in the Washington DC area that this is so pronounced.
