		<title>Been forever since I&#8217;ve written anything here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been a long long time since I&#8217;ve written anything here.  I think I&#8217;m going to finally get back to it.  Plenty has happened since I last wrote.  Work has been consistently crazy - who would expect anything less from a company as fast paced as it is ridden with standard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jabber + Punjab + JWChat = almost what I&#8217;m looking for</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple people commented on my project idea for instant messaging over HTTP.  After looking at the open source IM market in more depth I&#8217;ve found that the pieces I was looking for are actually all there, mostly.

Jabberd 2 - an open source XMMP server implementation.  There are also some great extensions (called [...]]]></description>

		<title>IM/Chat over HTTP without browser plug-ins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The past couple of months I&#8217;ve been pondering an idea.  It isn&#8217;t a new one, or anywhere close to groundbreaking, but I don&#8217;t think anyone has accomplished anything quite like it before.  I want to write an IM/chat system that is as responsive and real-time as native IM/chat programs, and that operates solely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back up after the move</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a couple of days of downtime (really just 1) because of the move.  Like an idiot I didn&#8217;t take enough care when shutting Ridcully down and some MySQL tables got corrupted.  Hex didn&#8217;t wake up right away after the move either.  It wouldn&#8217;t even power on, and normally it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real Life on Film</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I watched Garden State again.  It is a wonderful film.  One I can really relate to.  I love how it doesn&#8217;t depend on formulaic explosions, sex, violence, etc.  Instead it shows real life, with all it&#8217;s confusion, pain/release and quirky characters.  Zach Braff writes/directs/stars along with Natalie Portman and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recent outage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry about our recent outage.  One of the Memorial Day weekend lightning storms zapped our firewall&#8217;s motherboard.  It took me a little while to figure out that the problem was the motherboard instead of the power supply.  However, once I figured it out the part was suprisingly cheap ($9.99 for a motherboard [...]]]></description>

		<title>FCC Broadcast Flag temporarily struck down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Groklaw reports that the DC Circuit of the US Court of Appeals has ruled that the FCC does not have the authority to impose the Broadcast Flag requirement on digital TV consumers and equipment manufacturers.  The Court decided that the FCC had overstepped it&#8217;s bounds and that it did not have any authority to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Withdrawal sucks, especially leading up to crazy/busy/unpredictable times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last couple of weeks have been really tough for me and my family.  It started with me forgetting to reorder by medicine until I only had a day or two&#8217;s worth left.  Now my refills usually get here within a couple days of me ordering them, but of course this time it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flickr - Yahoo deal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As pretty much everyone who reads anyone&#8216;s  blog knows by now, Yahoo is buying Flickr.  I hope this doesn&#8217;t change Flickr&#8217;s wonderful open philosophy.  Their API should be a model for all sites, no matter what service they provide.  It is well documented (but not overly verbose), and extremely flexible.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ian Randall arrives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our son Ian Randall was born 2/17 at 1:39AM.  He is 8 lbs 11oz and 20.5&#8243; long.  He&#8217;s got a full head of dark hair already.  Unfortunately he&#8217;s been having a lot of trouble with his oxygen saturation.  The official diagnosis is pneumonia, but the doctors aren&#8217;t quite sure that&#8217;s exactly [...]]]></description>
