		<title>SVN to Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been really getting into developing my KickTweet project and set up a Twitter account for it at http://twitter.com/KickTweet.  I wanted to feed in my subversion commits so I did some searching.
What I found was twitvn a monstrous (50-ish &#8216;real lines) Python script that sends commits to Twitter.  I find that ridiculous.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>KickTweet or Creating a KDE3 Panel Applet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started using Twitter again last week and wanted a Linux GUI client.  I looked at the standard bunch, but none of them did it for me.  I wanted something small and easy.  Some had system tray modes, but I decided to make my own that would reside as a panel applet.
Doing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Shrimp Ramen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back I posted a (sincere) offer for some shrimp ramen to anyone in the PKI building on craigslist.  No one wanted them and I forgot about it. However, today I got this lovely email&#8230;
** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY
** Avoid:  wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home
** Beware: cashier checks, [...]]]></description>

		<title>l337 h4X!!!1!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You have got to love MySpace.  Their code has got to be so nasty, I mean, just the markup on a profile makes me sick to my stomach, I can&#8217;t imagine the pasted together backend that would generate that mess.
When I got an event invitation I went to RSVP and had a thought.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>OurUNO &#038; mod_rewrite</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last day or so I&#8217;ve spent some time restructuring OurUNO to fix it up in time for the end of the semester.  One of the biggest and most visible things I&#8217;ve done is to start using mod_rewrite to make super-slick URLs for everything.  For example, in the old system to view [...]]]></description>

		<title>MediaWiki and OmahaWiki.org</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A ways back in the past I had a MediaWiki install at WikiOmaha.org with the hopes that a wiki could be formed for the omaha community, by the omaha community (sound familiar?).  Anyway, I never really did much with it, and a few days ago a professor from Creighton contacted me about my domain [...]]]></description>

		<title>Possibly The Best Spam Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got a fantastic spam today.  It was one of those &#8220;buy this stock now!&#8221; spams, and it was fairly well done to get past the filter at UNO, which usually stops, well, everything.  Even my real mail.
Anyway, the choice lines were the openers: &#8220;We live in a time of unthinkable technologies such [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Great Moment In My Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a momentous occasion! Today, as of 1/25/07, I am the top-ranked page on Google for the search terms &#8220;expired mayonnaise&#8220;.
All because of this little post: Expired Mayonnaise Really Doesn&#8217;t Taste All That Different.  My mother would be so proud.  I think I&#8217;m going to make a little tracker to see how long [...]]]></description>

		<title>Das BlinkenTechts!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was kicking around the WebDeveloper forums this morning and found a little project to keep me busy. A user was looking for a simple way to blink the colors of some text.  I wrote up a flexible little class in JavaScript to handle it.
Really simple to implement, and kind of a minimalist class. [...]]]></description>
