		<title>iOS 4.1 beta shows performance improvements for iPhone 3G</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since upgrading to iOS 4.0 my iPhone 3G performed like a piece of crap. I&#8217;ve seen that Apple published an iOS 4.1 beta on its iPhone developer network website and I was willing to give it a try to see if there are any performance improvements. To make it short: yes, there are. While it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>ASUS P6T &amp; OS X 10.6.4 update &#8211; still no TRIM support?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I successfully updated my Asus P6T Hackintosh from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4 using the OS X online updater. As usual I had to reinstall marionez&#8217; AppleHDA kext to get sound with the Realtek ALC1200 but other than that updating went smoothly as usual. Detailed information about the 10.6.4 release is available here. I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>iTunes: The required file cannot be found</title>

The required file cannot be found.&#8221; Unfortunately, iTunes doesn&#8217;t say exactly what file is missing.

Obviously you can&#8217;t change the text and general layout of the card but you can use your own background image on it.

		<title>How-to: NFS mount a Dreambox from a Mac</title>

Connecting to a NFS share using Mac OS X is usually pretty easy: open Finder, hit Command-K and enter the remote NFS share address: My Dreambox is running [...]]]></description>

Even though it&#8217;s still in beta I find it more useful than StatPress (Reloaded) because it&#8217;s a lot faster and the charts look better.

		<title>Review: Geotagging with Easytag GPS module (Nikon GP-1 compatible)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re an avid geotagger and own a Nikon GP-1 (or compatible) on-camera GPS receiver, you may have found yourself in a situation where you had to take a photo even though your GPS unit wasn&#8217;t ready, thus leading to inaccurate or even missing latitude/longitude coordinates in your photo. A GPS receiver usually needs at [...]]]></description>

		<title>ASUS P6T Hackintosh Geekbench tuning using DSDT</title>

Today, fleebailey left a comment on an ASUS P6T related post on my site. I followed his link and found that he had created a fine tuned DSDT for the ASUS P6T mainboard. [...]]]></description>

The eGO draws its power from the FireWire port so there&#8217;s no external power supply needed. When I tried to plug that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple Aperture 3 flickr upload lacks GPS data&#8230; not!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since the release of Aperture, Apple only half-heartedly supported metadata in exported photo&#8217;s. I don&#8217;t know why but Apple decided not to export extremely useful metadata information like lens model and many others as well. Unfortunately, this is still the case with Aperture 3 :( Lens type is still not included in any exported [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple adds GPS Geotagging support in Aperture 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new Geotagging features in Aperture 3 are pretty cool &#8211; and very simple to use too. Just like in iPhoto, Apple doesn&#8217;t use the term Geotagging but calls it &#8220;Places&#8221; instead. There&#8217;s support for the popular NMEA format which I&#8217;m able to export from my Holux M-241 GPS logger using BT747. Aperture Places is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bad Behavior blocks access to WordPress site when using GlimmerBlocker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I absolutely love GlimmerBlocker. GlimmerBlocker is a free ad filter proxy, primarily targeted at Safari users. It filters those annoying ads on ad polluted websites very effectively. But wait, GlimmerBlocker is more! It supports Safari keyword expansions for quick searches using Safari&#8217;s address bar. Imagine you&#8217;re looking for more information about, let&#8217;s say, Paruresis.

		<title>Geotagging with YongNuo GPS receiver for Nikon D700 (GP-1 compatible)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always fancied the Nikon GP-1 GPS on-camera receiver for its ability to directly write geotagging information to a photo, including the Nikon .NEF RAW format, thus greatly reducing the complexity of the post-processing workflow involved when using an off-camera GPS logger like the Holux-M241. The Nikon GP-1 still costs around USD 200 which IMHO [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preventing the built-in flash from firing when using a Nikon SB-900 flash</title>

		<title>How-to: Change all internal WordPress links from www to non-www</title>

As this may will confuse search engines and thus lower your visibility in organic searches, it&#8217;s recommended to configure a 301 (permanently moved) redirect from the old domain name to the new one.
