		<title>Override USB or Firewire Volume Level in OS X with Soundflowerbed [solved]</title>

This has been driving me nuts for years.
I have an external firewire audio interface, a MOTU 896, that has served me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox 3.6 won&#8217;t open on primary monitor [solved]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Firefox 3.6 has been driving me nuts by always opening on my secondary monitor, no matter if I drag windows over, restart, delete user preferences, etc. Every time I hit command N, the new window opens on my secondary monitor.
This is a known bug with Firefox 3.6.
The work around for now on OS X anyway [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make Google Maps actually geo locate you in Firefox 3.5 [soved]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most exciting features about Firefox 3.5 is its geo-location capabilities. But when I installed 3.5 and went to google maps, it didn&#8217;t automatically geo-locate me nor was there any option to.
This blog has a bookmarklet you can place on your toolbar to click to geo-locate you in google maps. Create a new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, fix Windows MBR issue [solved]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went through a heck of a time getting Windows 7 and Ubuntu (actually eeebuntu) to dual boot on my new Asus Eee PC. Either would work fine alone but liked to overwrite the other&#8217;s boot loader.

		<title>Move Some Common OS X Apps Out of the Dock [solved]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are some really nifty apps out there that I have set to run all the time, and they&#8217;ve been starting to crowd up my dock.
Jungledisk is better than Mozy and is my preferred online backup utility. It&#8217;s secure, it uses Amazon S3, it supports versioning, and allows online access. Anyway I noticed their latest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back up iPhone SMS messages into an excel database without jailbreaking [solved]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8217;s a somewhat complicated but entirely graphical way of backing up your SMS messages from your iPhone into an excel spreadsheet. I couldn&#8217;t get Syphone to work so here is my solution.
