		<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,
Request a Download
The   ECW SDK 3.3 and the ECW SDK 3.3 Source Code are made [...]]]></description>

		<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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the hunt for some more benchmarks ..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sourcing independant benchmarks or comparisons is always a difficult exercise. To continue on my recent raster benchmark quest, here are some other similar raster performance studies i&#8217;ve found round the interweb. If you know of any others, please throw them in the comments!
ESRI Image Server vs LizardTech Express Server

Not much background info on [...]]]></description>

		<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 ..

		<title>PostgreSQL driving you nuts?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve long had issues with PostgreSQL 8.3 and now 8.4 refusing to start on my laptop which is really a pain for live demonstrations of ERDAS Apollo. I&#8217;m not sure if anyone else has similar problems, but I believe (or rather have a hunch) that it is something to do with &#8220;ungraceful&#8221; shutdowns of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun and games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok. I am kinda pre-empting the fallout of the FOSS4G Benchmarking list here. But for everyone interested, this is a cross post from the Tilecache list where Bruce Foster has, I believe, drawn a very long bow.
This offer also extends to anyone else at Foss4g who may draw similar conclusions for ERDAS not participating in [...]]]></description>

		<title>CarbonArc revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jeff Harrison&#8217;s mass email caught my eye today with the free trial of CarbonArc. I had the pleasure of taking an early release of CarbonArc for a spin last year and while it was a good start there were a few key things missing from my point of view. Having pushed and prodded Mapinfo 9.5 [...]]]></description>

		<title>WFS-T adventures with Mapinfo 9.5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So i&#8217;ve been a bit late taking a look at the new Mapinfo Professional v9.5. With the consistent dissapointment towards the consumption of OGC standards in commercial apps I wasn&#8217;t holding my breath &#8230; but wait a sec, it did work and it worked damn well. I mean, it worked flawlessly; updates, inserts, deletes, lock [...]]]></description>
