		<title>Django Bash Shell Completion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Django includes a Bash shell completion script, which can save a lot of time. The tutorial recommends installing it, but doesn&#8217;t explain how. Fortunately, its the same as for any other Bash shell completion script. Here&#8217;s how I did it for Django.

Add an environment variable for the location where you installed Django. For example, add [...]]]></description>

		<title>MySQL, Python and Snow Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just updated an old post on using Python with MySQL on OS X. The good news is that you don&#8217;t need to create an extra directory of symbolic links anymore. The not really bad news is that you have to be careful about 32-bit versus 64-bit.
Ideally, you&#8217;ll first upgrade to a 64-bit version of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pork Prom and Schweinshaxe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note for my vegetarian and vegan friends. Nothing to see here. Move along.
We endured the spiral sliced ham shaped line at Blue Bottle Coffee this morning to buy 10 pounds of heritage-breed pork. Despite the chaos and lack of signs explaining how to pay or pick up your pork, everyone seemed to eventually figure it [...]]]></description>

		<title>ScalaTest, Spec and Eclipse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I decided to learn Scala in order to develop the website for my latest side project. This led me down the road of trying to learn Google App Engine/Java, Lift, Maven, Git, ScalaTest, Spec and much more, so it&#8217;s been pretty slow going. Especially due to diversions into Cassandra, MongoDB, Tokyo [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maatkit Install on OS X Snow Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After upgrading to the newest version Maatkit, the invaluable toolkit for MySQL, I was no longer able to run any of the Maatkit tools. The problem turned out to be caused by my update to MacPorts after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
By default, Apple provides perl 5.10, which is built in 64-bit mode, though backwards compatible [...]]]></description>

		<title>Registered for OpenSQL Camp 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    
I&#8217;ll be in Portland on November 13, 14 and 15 for OpenSQL Camp, an unconference covering open source databases. In addition to learning more about MySQL and Drizzle internals, I&#8217;m looking forward to learning a bit about Postgres and some of the NoSQL database alternatives. They aren&#8217;t just your father&#8217;s high [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wombat Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to my ever alert colleague, Rob, I&#8217;m celebrating Wombat Day today. I&#8217;ll be taking in my stuffed wombat that was handmade in Australia with what almost appears to be actual wombat hair, but I&#8217;m thinking is actually dyed wool.

		<title>A Symposium on Beer. Really?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After tasting my way through many beers, though a fraction of the total, at Dimond Oaktoberfest in my hood, I made my way over to Cal for 99 Bottles of Beer, a beer symposium, fair, workshop and exhibit.
After getting the lay of the land at the beer fair, I started at the back with an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dimond Oaktoberfest 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The second annual Dimond Oaktoberfest was even bigger than last year&#8217;s event. Unfortunately, I could stay only for a few hours, because I was also planning to attend the 99 Bottles of Beer beer symposium and beer fair at Hearst Museum at UC Berkeley. More on that later. Of course, a lot worse things could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Locational Privacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The EFF has posted a very interesting and sensible article on locational privacy. The solutions to the problems are not trivial, but they do exist, at some cost.
Locational privacy (also known as &#8220;location privacy&#8221;) is the ability of an individual to move in public space with the expectation that under normal circumstances their location will [...]]]></description>
