		<title>123Together.com Setup with Mac OS X Mail.app</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Setting up Mac OS X&#8217;s built-in Mail application to work with hosted Microsoft Exchange service from 123Together.com is actually pretty easy once you know how, but it took a bit of messing around to figure out the right steps. Start by adding a new account to Mail. Choose &#8220;Exchange 2007&#8243; as the server type, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Safari has historically had lousy kerning on its text rendering. This was particularly notable for headlines. A while back, a fix was implemented. It wasn&#8217;t turned on browser-wide because of the performance implications, but it can be turned on by a web developer by setting the appropriate style. The attribute to set is text-rendering and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chaining vs. Nesting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Any UNIX sysadmin who&#8217;s been around the block a few times has probably written a line something like this: netstat -n &#124; grep tcp &#124; awk '{ print $5}' &#124; sort &#124; uniq -c &#124; sort -n Each command in this line produces output, and the end of the line, since it&#8217;s not shunted off [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obvious but Subtle Password Policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After having a friend&#8217;s email account compromised (which he only found out about after a bunch of fortunately harmless spam went out), I got to thinking how it might have happened. I&#8217;m guessing it wasn&#8217;t a terribly strong password, but at the same time, attacking a site like gmail with more than a few bad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Apple Tablet Possibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another thought just occurred to me: two 7-inch displays of a plausible aspect ratio add up to one 10-inch display. It could in fact be a Nintendo DS form factor. The displays might be identical, or one might be a low-power version. That would make it quite a nice two-page-at-a-time eBook reader, a decent sub-netbook [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Prediction for the Apple Tablet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given it&#8217;s prediction season, and that a lot of folks are speculating about whatever sort of tablet computing device Apple is putting its finishing touches on, I&#8217;m going throw my hat in the ring and post my own prediction. First, I think the thing has two touchscreen displays. That could explain the conflicting stories about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dealing with 20 Languages on a Résumé</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months back I interviewed with a local internet company. During the course of the interview, they mentioned a pretty brilliant strategy for separating the people who know the names of 20 different programming languages from those who have actually used those languages. If you don&#8217;t already have experience with some or all of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blank UILabels in iPhone OS 2.x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent about an hour yesterday carefully stepping through some code that was setting the text of a UILabel in an iPhone app I&#8217;m working on. It worked perfectly on my 3.0 development box and my 3.0 device, but for some inexpicable reason, the text wasn&#8217;t showing up on my client&#8217;s 2.0 machine or device. [...]]]></description>

		<title>You can&#8217;t tell people anything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Randy Farmer and Chip Morningstar&#8217;s Blog &#8220;Habitat Chronicles&#8221; is full of really excellent insights, not just with regard to building virtual worlds and communities.  One of my favorites is this piece, called You can&#8217;t tell people anything: What&#8217;s going on is that without some kind of direct experience to use as a touchstone, people don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Improving on “Righty-Tighty”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most mechanically-inclined people are familiar with Righty Tighty and his sister, Lefty Loosey (Lucy?). The idea is that to tighten a fastener, you turn it clockwise (moving the top of the fastener to the right relative to its center), and to loosen it you turn it counterclockwise (moving the top of the fastener to the [...]]]></description>
