		<title>Cron jobs with mail notification on a Windows box in 5 minutes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So cygwin allows you to port all the great *nix utilities to a Windows environment, and that&#8217;s useful because 1) there are some many handy tools and 2) you can write scripts or tasks once and use them everywhere (Unix, Linux, OS X, Windows).
Today, let&#8217;s discover how you can get two of the most useful [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cleaning house (hardware edition)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on a simplification kick, and I&#8217;ve been dramatically reducing the clutter in my life and enjoying the results.
I recently noticed a good deal on a drive at Microcenter and thought &#8220;Why keep 5 external drives (1.3 TB total, 5 usb cables, 5 power cords) when a single drive (1.5 TB, 1 usb cable, 1 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Optimal Caching Strategies Gotcha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fastest download is no download, so I was trying to prevent even the 304s (last modified requests &#038; responses) on a recent project. It had been a while since I had to configure Apache for this, but here was the start of a .htaccess file:

		<title>wget and the web dev</title>
		<description><![CDATA[wget can be a very handy tool during development. Combine wget with other *nix utilities (like time and cron), and you can write some very useful scripts/snippets. For example, 

wget -p -H -nv http://www.my-domain.com/cart/ 2&#62;&#38;1

uses -p/&#8211;page-requisites to download all the files necessary to render the page while -H causes it to span domains if necessary. [...]]]></description>

		<title>BOMs away!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was having problems backporting some changes to a fork of our platform today. WinMerge kept reporting files as different in the summary view, but displayed no differences in the file comparison view. I looked closer and noticed the character sets were &#8220;different&#8221;.
