		<title>JPA Oopsies (Lingering Open Connections)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Say you&#8217;re happily coding along and getting ready to call a PL/SQL package. You fire up your trusty EntityManager and slap a new query together… em = EmFactory.getEntityManager(authentication); em.getTransaction().begin(); StoredProcedureCall call = new StoredProcedureCall(); ValueReadQuery query = new ValueReadQuery(); All pretty standard stuff so far. Anyway, you slap a call together and execute it: Integer [...]]]></description>

		<title>JSF Quirks that Annoy Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DISCLAIMER: I&#8217;m using JSF 1.1, Sun Implementation here. I can&#8217;t use JSF 1.2 yet because OC4J is retarded and doesn&#8217;t support those TLD&#8217;s. So take all of this griping with a grain of salt. Quirk One &#8211; Let&#8217;s do that again! Backing method execution works very well in the JSF version I&#8217;m used to. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spacetime Distortions Are Possible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They are. And it&#8217;s amazing how often they happen at work. Time flows normally while the work comes in and is feathered nicely over the course of the day. Then at some point, the work breaks. Either it gets accomplished much too quickly and a day&#8217;s tasking becomes an hour&#8217;s blitz, or something is said [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kubuntu 9.10 Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Around the time of Kubuntu 9.04, I was pretty annoyed. I&#8217;ve read plenty about how Kubuntu is pretty much the bastard child of KDE and Ubuntu and received very little love insofar as development time, effort, energy, etc. 9.04, I believed, showed this to an extreme. It was buggy, and a lot of these bugs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ode to a Bad Idea. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All right, I need to vent, and this web site is closest. This is a rant; you have been warned. My PS3 has joined the thousands of others that have perished under mysterious circumstances. What circumstances? Well, the system hardlocked to the point where no amount of holding the power button would shut the thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discovering Linux Encryption</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since picking up my laptop, I have had a concern about having my stories on such a portable machine. I bought myself a Bauer-like man-purse, so this laptop basically goes everywhere I do. It&#8217;s convenient with the lappy being so light, but it IS a laptop. It&#8217;s not hard to take, mount the drive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good for the Lions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone that knows me knows I&#8217;m a pretty big &#8216;Skins fan these days. I got back into the sport when Coach Gibbs came back, and have stayed on-board through some pretty lackluster seasons. Well, I foresee a nasty week in the tri-state area, especially for anyone that listens or sees any kind of broadcast that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mechwarriored Catanish Triple-A Risk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone remember these things? A couple of us gathered in Straith&#8217;s basement and yanked out our collection of WizKids Mechwarrior miniatures for the extended weekend. Someone had the inspiration to try and mix board games, so we set up the Settlers of Catan board, threw out some of the numeric tags and made sure the [...]]]></description>
