<title>To Blog or Not To Blog</title>
<description> Cafe au Lait dates back to 1995. I know I’m not the first blogger. Ric Ford’s Macintouch precedes me, and probably others do as well. However, I was there quite early on, I think before the word “blog” was coined. Truth is I’ve never even really thought of Cafe au ...</description>

<title>Birds on Rails, Part 2</title>
<description> Rails seems to be installed and working (Finally. That took almost a full day.) so let’s see if we can build some real pages. The first thing I need is something simple. I want to iterate through the sites table in the database and print each name in the site ...</description>

<title>Birding Geneva, Part 1</title>
<description> Beth and I arrived in Geneva late Tuesday night on the Cisalpino. Wednesday we took a day trip to Lausanne. We climbed the Escaliers du Marché to the Cathédrale Notre-Dame, stopping along the way to look at a few Carrion Crows in a local park. Then we took the subway ...</description>

<title>Generic JUnit Tests</title>
<description> Lately I’ve been thinking about a generic JUnit test suite that could be run against any Java program. These wouldn’t be real unit tests but they might be useful as sort of static application analysis. So far I have three ideas:
1. A test that runs all Ant targets and verifies ...</description>

<title>More CSS Layout Madness</title>
<description> I remain convinced that the whole CSS layout mess was poorly thought out, poorly designed, and poorly explained. Yes, it’s hobbled by poor implementations too; but can you really blame the poor implementers when the spec writers could never explain exactly what they meant? Proof of this is just how ...</description>

<title>Setting a permanent host name in Mac OS X</title>
<description> Are you tired of host names like eliza-7.local in Mac OS X? Are you tied of seeing pointless dialogs like “eliza-7.local is already in use. Switching to eliza-8.local”? Do you want a stable hostname you put in scripts, MYSQL user tables, and so forth? If so add the following line ...</description>

<title>Safari Breakage (+ a shoutout to IE)</title>
<description> Hmm, seems some recent CSS change broke the sidebars in Safari 2 on Tiger. Safari’s CSS support is quite good; so it’s more than likely my bug (though Firefox does render this site as I expect). I’ll try and figure out what’s going on and fix it. In the meantime, ...</description>

<title>Links Matter</title>
<description> Most of my sites and articles get incredibly high placement in Google given reasonably specific search terms, generally in the top 10. However, this site is quite new and isn’t really linked from anywhere yet, and the effects on Google searches have been surprising. Basically this site is invisible unless ...</description>

<title>Birds on Rails, Part 1</title>
<description> I’ve been working on reimplementing a web application for tracking bird reports in something modern. The current app is held together with Interbase, Delphi, payware e-mail libraries, and variety of handgrown scripts. There aren’t even any input forms that talk directly to the database. Instead you have to e-mail your ...</description>

<title>Rails, 64-bit MYSQL, and Mac OS X 10.4.3 incompatible</title>
<description> A bit of Google fodder. After several hours of futzing and debugging I have determined that the combination of Ruby on Rails 0.14.3, Mac OS X 10.4.3, and the 64-bit version of MySQL 5.0.16 are incompatible. The problem is most likely in MySQL/Ruby 2.7.1, but it could also be ...</description>
