		<title>Intellij 9 Indexing Bug Workaround</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Intellij 9 release on Mac routinely corrupts the index of classes. This manifests itself with compilation errors claiming that classes X,Y,Z cannot be resolved. However, when you check, all the classes are in the right place. Also Intellij correctly compiles the individual class, and all the nice syntax highlighting, etc is working for these classes.

		<title>Cancel Buttons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Want to really piss off users? Place useless cancel buttons all over your UI. I&#8217;m talking about Intellij, Perforce, Eclipse and numerous other high profile violators. You wrote the UI. You know for a fact that your app will never cancel operations X,Y,Z (which sometimes take 10-30 minutes to complete.) THEN DON&#8217;T PUT A CANCEL [...]]]></description>

		<title>Restoring syntax highlighting in Intellij</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found and fixed an annoying intellij bug recently. Intellij was having severe stability problems, so I was turning off all plugins and wiping the cache to try to resolve the issues. As a side effect of this, Intellij lost the ability to highlight java server pages and javascript files. This is because the plugins for [...]]]></description>

		<title>intellij Patch Tool &#8211; Fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love intellij most of the time. But the patch tool sucks. Any tool that leaves you in an unknown state with no messaging after a problem sucks. I have 8 files in a patch. I work through 4 files using the diff tool. Then inexplicably Intellij decides not to use the diff tool on [...]]]></description>

		<title>parking carma == vaporware</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Parking Carma? Why oh why can&#8217;t you get your shit together? What&#8217;s it been 3, 4, 5 years without delivering on the promise of creating a market place for all the untapped parking in the world? All the ideas are there, the same ones that loads of us have had. But not a single feature [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Photo Sharing Widgets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ok, you would think this was wildly known and popular, but sharing your photos outside of Facebook in a widget has not caught on. Well, there&#8217;s a lot of use cases where it rocks. The official Facebook photo widget is horrible. I knew that I could write one pretty easily, so somebody else had to [...]]]></description>

		<title>zooomr.com: fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I write software to connect Flickr and Facebook. I&#8217;m interested when I hear there is another photo company on the web that supports unlimited storage and bandwidth for photos.  A blog post links me to Zooomer.com, which supposedly has all this for FREE! Wow! Maybe Flickr&#8217;s days of $25 Pro accounts are numbered. Then, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Porn marketing with Twitter (aka Adult Friend Requests)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, they do say that the sex industry does a better job of adopting the newest technology. And in that spirit, I got my first Twitter porn spam. I don&#8217;t even use twitter all that much, but when I get an email from twitter telling me that I have a new follower, I am intrigued [...]]]></description>
