		<title>duberPython features demonstration!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m trhilled to be able to finally showcase, at least, some of our very own Python implementation into 3ds Max!
First off, our primary reason for writing our own, proprietary, Python connection to 3ds Max is Tactic by Southpaw Technology. An awesome asset management system entirely written in Python that I decided to invest in and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A pretty thorough review of the 3DATS Advanced to Expert book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you still haven&#8217;t bought the book yet, DO IT NOW!  
Or at least, do it after you&#8217;ve read this thorough review of the book.
I can&#8217;t resist to quote what the reviewer is saying about my chapter, of which I&#8217;m quite proud, obviously.  
The advanced unwrapping chapter I found very useful as unwrapping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Render slave&#8217;s setup and benchmarks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally received all the parts for my first render slave and immediately got into assembling and installing it. The rig is quite simple, very mainstream and very affordable. A standard ATX board placed in a 1U rack chassis, a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, two drives, one primary for the system and software [...]]]></description>

		<title>The most revolutionary OS of all times, DOS.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m still amazed how useful DOS can be, even in 2010! And the main reason I thin it&#8217;s the most revolutionary OS of all times is that it actually brought the entire PC industry to regular folks&#8217; hands.
Now, by DOS, I&#8217;m actually referring to the simplest form of OS environment, IO.sys, MSDOS.sys and COMMAND.com. That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>1000BASE-T Ethernet upgrade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The entire studio ethernet ran on a standard 100Mbps line, 100BASE-T Fast Ethernet, which used to be enough. However, with the addition of a render farm and a fast centralized storage, I needed an upgrade. Thankfully, nowdays, a Gigabit Ethernet is becoming pretty mainstream as well, so I didn&#8217;t really have to put too much [...]]]></description>

		<title>duber studio server is finally online!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Hell yeah!  After a few months of putting the gear together, getting all the paperwork done, installing the electrical and network cabling, we finally run our own data management platform with an added bonus of a private render farm. How cool is that?!

		<title>duber&#8217;s render slaves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I finally started building the render slaves for my studio. The first dedicated render node I built is based on basic mainstream parts, nothing fancy, but with enough power so that the render node does make sense to be placed in a rack installation.
The basic idea, obviously, was to build as powerful a machine, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Server room installation, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The T-Systems guys were pretty quick! I didn&#8217;t expect them to show up this week, but they did. Kudos!
Anyways, the server room is finally plugged to the local central switch. It is not online yet, T-Systems will have to go through yet another buerocratic procedure prior to setting up the line. But, the hard work [...]]]></description>
