		<title>Prefix Portage v. Aquamacs v. aspell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I come from a heavy Gentoo background in GNU/Linux land, so on OS X, I prefer Prefix Portage.  YMMV, but I think it&#8217;s a great environment.  I mainly use it to install the few extra UNIX utilities that don&#8217;t ship with OS X.
Wanting to get spell checking working, I read the Emacs Wiki, [...]]]></description>

		<title>rubyosa-0.4.0 Bus Error</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was having some issues trying out the rubyosa gem, and found this useful japanese blog.
If you see an error like the following:



└──&#62; rdoc-osa &#8211;name Adium


/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rubyosa-0.4.0/lib/rbosa.rb:530: &#91;BUG&#93; Bus Error

		<title>Working with Spaces.app v. Workspaces as a concept</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I&#8217;m glad Apple began support of multiple workspaces with the release of Leopard last year.  Workspaces was a feature that was truly lacking from an otherwise feature-rich user interface in OS X.
Having spent a long time with GNU/Linux &#8212; long enough for it to shape my formative computer development years in high school [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Your wireless network has been compromised&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and you see a somewhat frightening and terse error message that says &#8220;Your wireless network has been compromised&#8220;, then you&#8217;ve probably entered into a world of annoyance.  If you&#8217;re in the situation I was, this message begins to pop-up every few minutes.  Every time it [...]]]></description>

		<title>VMware Fusion 2.0 beta 1 tools and OpenSolaris 2008.05</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a small issue getting vmware tools from VMware 2.0 beta 1 working under OpenSolaris 2008.05.  I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s an issue in previous versions of either software.
First, when installing OpenSolaris 2008.05, choose VMware setup options for &#8220;Solaris&#8221;, and either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your preference.  I wanted, 64-bit, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>tar backup stupidity and limited space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, pretend you have:

a new Mac laptop with a fast hard drive, but one that is smaller than all the data you need to backup
A backup hard drive you&#8217;ve used on Windows and Linux, but is formatted NTFS, and is much larger than your new laptop&#8217;s HD
You have files named on your system that needs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quotes from The Al Roney show, WGY 810AM : Robert Mirch v. Wafaa Bilal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What follows are some choice quotes from the Al Roney show were Wafaa Bilal and Robert Mirch talked about Wafaa&#8217;s art piece and Mirch&#8217;s planned protest.  I&#8217;ve decided not to include caller&#8217;s comments at this point.  They deserve to be highlighted in an entirely different fashion.
You can get the transcripts, if you like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Censorship of American-Iraqi artist in city of Troy, NY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is the latest in a horribly ridiculous sequence of events that started at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institue in Troy, NY, and spread into the greater City at large.


Wafaa Bilal&#8217;s other recent art piece was blogged about at BoingBoing: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/11/shoot-a-real-live-ir.html


Order of events over the last week.  Sorry, I need to assign dates and times to [...]]]></description>

		<title>weird goodship (hating?) flier</title>

Specifically, Kevin Luddy, Jason Steven Murphy, and Ryan Jenkins rock the music / dance / video / party aspects of [...]]]></description>

		<title>erlang</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, the Gentoo install of erlang put the man pages into man sections that ended in &#8220;erl&#8221;.  For example, instead a directory named man3 for the 3rd man page section, it&#8217;s man3erl.
I wrote a quick alias erlman that only searches these erlang man page sections.
~/.bashrc



&#160;


alias erlman=&#34;man -S 1erl:3erl:4erl:6erl&#34;
