		<title>Cacti Slow On Mac OS X (specifically RRDtool)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this has been driving me mad since I installed Mac OS X 10.7&#8230; Any time Cacti tried to output a graph, it would output, but it was painfully slow (like 30 seconds)&#8230; prior to installing 10.7, it was a fraction of a second. Anyway&#8230; long story short is apparently RRDtool pulls the list of]]></description>

		<title>Agnostic Servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seagate is still not producing the hard drives I want for new servers in sufficient quantity, but they do seem to be actually producing them now. I&#8217;ve seen places where I can get 30 of them lately&#8230; but I need 72. I&#8217;m assuming I&#8217;ll be able to get them relatively soon and have started to]]></description>

		<title>I Saved $4.5 Billion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going to buy a Nimitz class aircraft carrier today, but instead I bought lunch at Rubio&#8217;s. And to be totally honest, I would rather have a burrito from Rubio&#8217;s even if an aircraft carrier was the same price. I&#8217;m a saving machine&#8230; I just saved $4,500,000,000 and I didn&#8217;t even have to switch]]></description>

		<title>Math Has No Relevance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is there some sort of Congressional entrance exam where you need to NOT be able to pass 1st grade math? Watching the whole deficit stuff unravel is like watching kindergardeners argue about something they don&#8217;t understand. So let&#8217;s forget for a second that the US has around $115 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities, and just focus]]></description>

		<title>Router Firmware Upload From Mac Via Xmodem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a switch that &#8220;lost&#8221; it&#8217;s operating system and was stuck in a reboot loop. Long story short is I needed to upload the OS via a direct serial connection to fix it. I didn&#8217;t have a Windows machine available, so I used my Mac and a Keyspan USA-19 (USB -> DB9) thingie (heh).]]></description>

		<title>Starting To Think About Server Upgrades</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amazing that it&#8217;s been half a decade now since we got the new blade servers that we are running on (got them in June of 2006). Sadly, 12GB in a server just isn&#8217;t what it used to be and the database servers are really starting to feel strained as they beg for more memory. Handling]]></description>

		<title>PXE/Network Boot Linux With Mac OS X Server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was in a situation where I want to upgrade the operating system on 10 blade servers that are in a data center. The problem is I really didn&#8217;t want to sit there and install the new operating systems on each one by one. The other issue is the servers don&#8217;t have CD/DVD drives]]></description>

		<title>How Much Does AT&amp;T/U-verse Cost?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I heard that AT&#038;T is going to start putting monthly usage caps on it&#8217;s Internet users (which is me), so it got me thinking about how much I actually pay for AT&#038;T services&#8230; I have AT&#038;T fiber to my house (actual fiber to the premise), so I use U-verse for TV and Internet in]]></description>

		<title>Government Economics or Ponzi Scheme?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an interesting exercise&#8230; Let&#8217;s take the first two paragraphs from Wikipedia about a Ponzi scheme&#8230; Ponzi Scheme (from Wikipedia) A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the organization, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors.

		<title>Maybe Steve Jobs Was Right About Flash?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was building a website for Digital Point Ads, and for what I wanted it to do, I figured Flash would be the way to go. So it was built, and worked fine in Flash. The problem is that I&#8217;m an anal perfectionist and the Flash object was eating 80-90% of a computer&#8217;s CPU when]]></description>

		<title>Scubacraft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I think I decided what I want for Christmas&#8230; A Scubacraft (I saw it in Wired magazine). It&#8217;s basically a boat that you can hit a button, and it will go underwater (up to 100 feet). It would be pretty awesome to go scuba diving and instead of leaving your boat at the surface,]]></description>

		<title>Google Ups AJAX Search API To 8 Pages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems Google has quietly raised it&#8217;s limitations on how deep you can look into search results for the AJAX Search API. It&#8217;s always been 4 pages (8 results per page), so you could only see the first 32 results. All of a sudden it was changes to 8 pages (still 8 results per page),]]></description>

		<title>iPhoto &#8217;09 Faces Spinning Forever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone I know uses iPhoto, but the Faces part of it wasn&#8217;t working. New pictures wouldn&#8217;t get scanned for faces and the spinning icon next to the Faces label on the navigation bar would just spin forever (and apparently it&#8217;s always been stuck like that). I Googled the issue, and came up with hundreds of]]></description>
