		<description><![CDATA[For several weeks, we&#8217;ve had some odd behavior at our internal network here at Paradigm. In typical shoemaker fashion, I have not looked at this issue because we&#8217;ve been busy taking care of client issues instead, but I finally decided I&#8217;d had enough and today was the day.
One of our domain controllers has been acting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a common practice to maintain email addresses such as info@example.com, sales@example.com, support@example.com, etc., addresses for Internet email domains. The theory is that these provide a generic address which can be used to contact a company if the sender doesn&#8217;t have a specific address to use.
The problem is that these addresses are what I refer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read Christopher Moore&#8217;s book, &#8220;Practical Demonkeeping.&#8221; It was a great little read. Think &#8220;Stephen King or Neil Gaiman with some of the seriousness replaced with humor&#8221; and that&#8217;s what you get. I believe this was Moore&#8217;s first published work, released in 1992. It mixes old legends and mysticism with a great plot that, [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been surprisingly easy, and the toughest part has been the hour just before dinner, when I&#8217;ve been very hungry and concerned that there wouldn&#8217;t be enough food to satisfy me. Fortunately, this is not the case, [...]]]></description>
