		<title>Performance Monitoring with OProfile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[oprofile is a low overhead, open-source tool that hooks into Linux and can keep track of CPU event monitoring information.  This is a fairly general statement and for this post I&#8217;ll be using the Intel Penryn microarchitecture, which should have similar event counters to most recent Intel processors.  You can get the canonical [...]]]></description>

		<title>The nth Backup Solution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past, I had developed my own backup solution.  Unfortunately, over time it didn&#8217;t work out (mainly from changing systems, moving, using a laptop instead of a desktop, and maintaining it).  However, I still like the idea of incremental backups as well as a mirrored version of my files (it saves space and lets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mozilla Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was just looking at some XML, and saw that the namespace for XUL is
http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul
It looks like someone likes Ghostbusters at Mozilla.  I just found it amusing.

		<title>Technology and Courage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, Ivan Sutherland came to Washington University to give a talk to drum up interest in a new idea he is working on (Fleet, Infinity &#38; Marina [PDF slideshow]).  In my experience, most &#8220;old guy&#8221; talks aren&#8217;t that interesting because they meander with long tangential stories about their children.  Luckily, those were [...]]]></description>

		<title>RSS Sucks.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit that I haven&#8217;t spent too much time working with RSS feeds, but so far I&#8217;m unimpressed.  All they really seem to provide is a consistent view of published data for clients to read when they want.  That seems okay, but inefficient and a little redundant.  It seems like you could implement the same [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remote Instance of Firefox via SSH -X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Firefox is a pretty decent web browser.  However, it can be a bit more clever than I want it at times.  For example, if I want to SSH into a remote machine and launch a instance of Firefox &#8212; to take on the remote machine&#8217;s IP address or access localhost &#8212; I would have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Archiving your Mail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those that don&#8217;t know, I use mutt for my email needs.  This provides several niceties such as stripping out all the various formatting people like to include in their emails (fonts, graphics, etc), a keyboard driven interface, and, well, it just sucks less that most mail clients.
With mutt I choose to download all [...]]]></description>

		<title>git branch &#8211;force</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The headaches of coordinating a transition from svn => bzr at $JOB a few months ago have had time to fade, and I&#8217;ve now had some time to get used to using a DVCS on a day-to-day basis.  Much like the experience of working with revision control is to the absence of it, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>rubygems requirement syntax for config.gem :version</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This shouldn&#8217;t have been as difficult to find as it was, so I figured I&#8217;d better throw it somewhere.

		<title>If YAML.dump can&#8217;t produce valid YAML&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had fun with ruby&#8217;s YAML module not loading a piece of YAML I needed it to load.  Syntax Error&#8230; fine&#8211;all in a day&#8217;s work. But then I started looking at  the YAML in question and I realized, this was GENERATED by the module itself!

First of all, the reason I was using [...]]]></description>
