		<title>Google Chrome Incognito default startup on OSX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently started using Google Chrome, and while my browsing habits of keeping 30+ tabs open doesn&#8217;t mesh well with how Chrome uses memory, the Incognito mode is fantastic for going to friendly sites like FaceBook that share your login cookies/credentials with an ever growing number of sites on the internet. 
The following hack will [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Week with an iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve had an iPad for a week now. I&#8217;m one of those that pre-ordered the device shortly after they were available on the Apple store. I thought I&#8217;d take a moment and jot down my thoughts on the device in no particular order.
Context is everything with this device. If you were hoping to replace [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun with macs, CACs, and Certs (and iPhone dev).</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick post to save others some time and a little pain:
OSX 10.6.2 + SCR3110 CAC reader + new GX4 CAC card == No love on OSX. Keychain sees the card as empty.
However, 10.6.2 + VMWare + win7-64 + reader + CAC card + IE works just fine without any of the add-on software [...]]]></description>

		<title>01/06/10 Baked Mac N Cheese</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another Alton Brown / Good Eats recipe. This one taught me a few lessons.

Always read the entire recipe first
Always read the entire recipe first
Dropping eggs on carpets tends to be messy
Go fetch  everything  the recipe calls for before starting 
Timing, timing, timing &#8230;

		<title>01/04/10 Karl&#8217;s Chicken Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my chicken soup recipe is generally a moving target. I tend to use the leftover chicken from either rotisserie or something similar. This time I used the leftover chicken I had from the meal two nights earlier. Although I&#8217;ve made this soup quite a few times, this is the first time I&#8217;ve ever measured [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So we&#8217;ve split up chores a bit more at home. I&#8217;m doing the cooking now on all odd days. I&#8217;ll be posting recipes and reviews of foods as I cook them.

I love Good Eats on Food TV. Its one of the few shows that I watch with any regularity. The first recipe for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Experiences with cfengine.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At a customer site I’ve had both the pleasure and pain of working with cfengine as a means to control the environment from a single touchpoint. The client decided to save the precious little time they had and to use readily available packages for the software instead of building the software from scratch. This resulted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Performance Testing &#8211; Tools of the Trade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the previous article we covered a brief load test scenario. It involved running load against a webserver and driving the server  to failure to determine its capacity. What I did not discuss were the specific tools that could have been used during the testing period.
Client Side:
Wget – A non-interactive command line tool to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Performance Testing &#8211; First Example &#8211; Notes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In our first example we did several things that I perhaps took for granted. A reader asked why I chose to use CLI load generation tools instead of surfing with a browser, and if the initial numbers generated are even reasonable.  Allow me to address both points.
There is nothing stopping a tester from performing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Performance Testing &#8211; First Example</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article is second in a series on performance and performance testing. The principles of the scientific method were discussed in the first article and now this article will detail a basic and slightly simplistic example of a performance task.
