		<title>Using MySQL with JRuby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, I had a relatively hard time finding this info all in one spot, so here it is:
Using MySQL with JRuby is actually pretty easy (and no annoying arch issues on OS X! :-)
Install GEMs (DBI, JDBC driver, DBI adapter):

$ jgem install dbi jdbc-mysql dbd-jdbc

Then use it!

require 'dbi'
require 'jdbc/mysql'
dbh = DBI.connect&#40;'dbi:jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test', 'root', '', [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hooking app exit in Firefox extensions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent the last few days since joining Better Advertising working on a new feature for a Firefox extension called Ghostery. We&#8217;ll be announcing the new feature soon, but until then I thought I&#8217;d share some of what I&#8217;ve learned so far. 
I&#8217;ve never worked on an extension before but as it turns out, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best concerts of 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This year was something of an anomaly for me: I only went to five shows. Two of those shows, however, were music festivals and easily made up for the otherwise quiet concert calendar &#8212; Lollapalooza with a staggering 35 shows in three days and the Newport Folk Festival with another 6.
I also went to 3 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best music of 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been procrastinating publishing this latest post for several weeks now. I&#8217;ve had ample time to write it; that&#8217;s not the problem at all. No, I simply find it painfully, frustratingly difficult to narrow my collection down to only a handful of records, especially in a year with so many fantastic releases to choose from.

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

		<title>Upgrading the Mac Pro: Adding a 2nd GPU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[tl;dr- Yes, you can add a 2nd GPU; OS X will ignore it; Windows will use it. Make sure to disable the card in the 1st slot to use it for gaming.
Apple makes great hardware, there&#8217;s no doubt about it. However, occasionally they make decisions that not only boggle the mind but are completely infuriating. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Classmates.com just earned a spot on my blacklist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just fixed another longstanding pet peeve of mine: I finally added classmates.com and cmates.com to my email server&#8217;s blacklist. How these guys have managed to stay in business for so long is beyond. They don&#8217;t even try to hide the fact that they&#8217;re spammers. They even sign all their messages with a valid domain keys [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fixing SquirrelMail&#8217;s weird reply behavior</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years of being annoyed by the fact that SquirrelMail, an otherwise fine product, doesn&#8217;t include the date and name of the sender when replying to emails like just about every other email client on the planet, I finally broke down and fixed it. Below is the simple 1 line patch against SquirrelMail 1.4.19. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installing Google Gears on Mac OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re looking to install Google Gears on OS X, installation order can be somewhat important. The Safari version installs as a standard OS X browser plugin and will be picked up by all the browsers on your system. Sounds good, except that the Firefox version is actually a standard Firefox XPI extension and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing command line interfaces for Spring apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently needed to script some tasks for a Spring-based app at work so we could shove it into a crontab. It proved to be much easier than I thought. 
You can use your spring.xml config file for wiring up your beans as usual, but rather than deal with various property files you can easily [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installshield sucks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And furthermore, Peachtree sucks. Last weekend I battled this error thrown by the Peachtree 2008 installer and this weekend I had the great pleasure of upgrading to Peachtree 2010 and being greeted by the very same error. 
The fix in both cases? Simply copy the contents of the CD to the local harddisk (a network [...]]]></description>
