		<title>The tilecache goldrush</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does anyone else not see a problem with the trend over the past few years? &#8220;Tile-itis&#8221; is reaching critical mass and it is driving me bonkers. We&#8217;re taking away styling, reprojection, tile sizes and giving them &#8230; tiles. No wait, fast tiles? Really? Oh, so I can put them on Google Maps? Awesome. Can I [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The Simon Hope vs Paul Ramsey posts has some classic asides.
I just had to re-quote the following comment from Atanas Entchev as it made me laugh. I am now personally tasked at seeking out and destroying this mysterious section of psychologists deep within ERDAS headquarters. I will also disassemble all subliminal messages embedded within our [...]

		<title>ERDAS Apollo results updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With Apollo 10.1 about to get out the door I have updated the WMS image serving benchmark results. I&#8217;m still yet to update the product-by-format graphs as I will be rolling out a more dynamic and easier to maintain page shortly. One main addition was extending the ECW Test plan to from 150 to 300 [...]

		<title>ERDAS Apollo vs ESRI ArcGIS Server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lets face it, whatever benchmark results a vendor (*gasp*) publishes always draws a certain amount of suspicion. Luckily however, T-Mapy (Czech Republic) have just made available a detailed independant 20  page report on ERDAS Apollo vs ESRI ArcGIS Server.

T-Mapy have a long history with ESRI and now also ERDAS technology so they offer great [...]

Apologies to Rob for taking so long to publicize  the results as he was very eager to send them through and [...]

		<title>Prohibitively difficult vs Protecting IP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems various discussions are appearing postulating that ERDAS is  making it &#8220;prohibitively difficult&#8221; to download the ECW SDK from our website. I&#8217;d like to make clear that this is absolutely not  the case. From the website,

		<title>So I&#8217;ve been thinking ..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The raster benchmarks have been a outstanding success with 3,000 + page views over the last 40-odd days.  But what I&#8217;ve been struggling with is how to expand to more software or more platforms. Clearly I am not the master of web GIS Applications because I still for the life of me can&#8217;t get Mapguide [...]

If you know of any others, please throw them in the comments!

		<title>Benchmarks updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Small update,

Added a new ECW 256px tile test
Added a new ECW reprojection test
Added some more info on my mapguide config problems

I&#8217;m still keen for someone to verify my numbers. It would be nice to know whether I&#8217;m alone in the universe or not even if the setup is different ..
