		<title>Intuit&#8217;s Evil Empire: Quicken Deluxe 2005 Strikes Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always used Quicken for the most minimalistic of checkbook balancing.  For some reason, even though the newer versions have continued to get bigger and more bloated, I&#8217;ve continued to stick with them, and even paid for the pile of rat dung they call Quicken Deluxe 2005.

Hating Intuit was a dangerous choice, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dotproject strikes again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm sure I've bitched about open source plenty of times, but I have to rant once again.  Dotproject is my project management application of choice.  It does everything I want, and in particular allows for very awesome time estimation which was extremely useful for Bloodsport Colosseum.  I was able to break down every task into subtasks and really get a feel for how much effort was left by looking at the accuracy of past estimates.

But it's programmed by idiots...]]></description>

		<title>Twilight of the Arnor officially released!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All right, I&#8217;m a couple days late, but one of my all-time favorite games, Galactic Civilizations 2, has just released what I believe to be the most impressive expansion pack ever, Twilight of the Arnor.

I&#8217;ve played with the beta a bit, but now that it&#8217;s officially released (and the weekend is here), I am hoping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Phusion Passenger - first impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, as I recently mentioned, I&#8217;m tired of Mongrel for my Rails apps, so I&#8217;m going with Phusion Passenger.

The install was actually tremendously more difficult than they claimed, but I attribute that to my own lack of smarts.  I am running on Debian, and installed ruby via the source, but had another version of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new day, a new blogging app</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Typo seems cool to us Ruby on Rails jerks.  Because it&#8217;s Ruby on Rails.  It has sexy live searching.  Um&#8230; and like&#8230; did I mention it&#8217;s Ruby on Rails?

So&#8230; yeah.  After the thing sucking time and again, and eating too much memory and having funny stability problems, I&#8217;ve given up.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m sick of Mongrel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been running my Rails apps (this blog as well as Bloodsport Colosseum) via mod_proxy and mongrel.  Run a mongrel server at a given port, tell Apache to redirect a given virtual host to said port.  Takes a lot more knowledge than a noob like me has, so even though it&#8217;s better than [...]]]></description>

		<title>If you&#8217;re not smart enough to program, don&#8217;t write a programming guide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe this.  Simply amazing.

I really can&#8217;t.

I&#8217;m not even sure this is good enough to fall under my usual &#8220;Awesome Software Discovery&#8221; banner.

So I work at a place where we use Ruby and Perl a lot, right?  The above site is supposedly a &#8220;conversion&#8221; of O&#8217;Rielly&#8217;s Perl Cookbook into Ruby.  Good [...]]]></description>

		<title>AutoIt fans rejoice!  New version of myAutToExe available!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I previously mentioned, I like AutoIT a great deal, but I like decompiling other people&#8217;s stuff even better.  Just a couple days ago, the genius who brought us the only 3.2.6 decompiler released a new version, 2.2.  I haven&#8217;t kept up like I should, but if cw2k ever gives me the okay, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wait, are you saying those thieves aren&#8217;t destroying the world after all?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a huge fan of Stardock.  They kick ass hands down.  Galactic Civilizations II, especially with the expansions Dark Avatar and the still-in-beta Twilight of the Arnor, blows away other 4x games that exist today.  Civ 4 is so far behind in terms of AI and economic complexity (while still having way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another reason Perl is crappy.  Really crappy.  REALLY REALLY crappy.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using Perl professionally for about four years now.  I never really loved the language, but I certainly didn&#8217;t hate it quite so much before this job.

There are many obvious reasons to hate Perl:
* The hacked-in OOP never impressed me much, but gets really old after working on a very large application for [...]]]></description>
