		<title>Startup errors with Plesk 9.5 on CentOS 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When ordering a new VPS box from my hosting provider, I was pleased to see they had upgraded to Plesk 9.5.  However, I was disappointed to find out it wasn&#8217;t running automatically on https://MYIPADDRESS:8443/ (which obviously makes it impossible to log in and configure the first time).  So I rolled up my sleeves, SSH&#8217;ed in [...]]]></description>

		<title>A simpler NamespaceFile engine for CakePHP 1.2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Using Cake, once you start working with a large number of data cache files, you see the limitation of storing them all in a single directory (which is the default FileEngine behavior). In my case I have a hierarchical Tree behavior on a model and rather than traverse the tree to find its path each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Chrome doesn&#8217;t like to stream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often if you have a long-loading page,  you&#8217;ll want to stream the content as it arrives.  Firefox does a great job of aggressively rendering content, but other browsers like Google Chrome and IE don&#8217;t. A typical workaround for this is to first &#8220;wake up&#8221; the browser, then periodically flush the output buffer &#8211; this has [...]]]></description>

		<title>What to do if your ISP decides to block outgoing SSH requests</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I run several websites on a leased VPS box and use WinSCP to SSH in. Suddenly a few days ago I got locked out, and got only “Connection Timeouts” when I tried to log in. First I figured this was due to my Norton Internet Security firewall suddenly getting confused. But disabling it, and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to restore a SQL Server database from a backup file</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I volunteered to port a website from ColdFusion/SQL Server to PHP and MySql.  But rather than getting the database snapshot as a SQL script, which would have been easy to migrate, I was given the database in the form of a SQL Server backup, which has two parts: an LDF log fie and an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick steps to configure SSL encryption on a WAMP server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a number of guides for this on the web, all of varying accuracy.  These are the minimal steps I followed to get it working for development on a stock WAMP server installation: Enable ssl_module in the Apache module list Create the self-signed certificate keys as per Section 3 of http://tud.at/programm/apache-ssl-win32-howto.php3: cd c:\path\to\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf &#160; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installing Subversion on CentOS &#8211; be careful what you read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The CentOS directions are pretty good &#8211; follow them to the letter.  The directions in the installed /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf &#8211; less so.  In particular, your &#60;Location&#62; node should look something like this, in order to work (ignore the rest): &#60;Location /repos&#62; DAV svn # path to your repo here SVNPath /var/www/svn/repos &#160; AuthType Basic AuthName &#34;Subversion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saving out a playlist to share it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple, and to a lesser extent, Microsoft, go out of their way to make sharing music painful &#8211; even in the simple case of sharing a playlist of songs with your buddy (which clearly falls under Fair Use!).  For example, suppose you made a playlist for yourself (of music you own), put it on an [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best way to get a playlist onto an iPod or iPhone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s my firm belief that the bloated, horrible software that is iTunes will ultimately be the downfall of Apple’s music business. It’s really, really awful on a variety of fronts (performance, openness to outside developers, etc.), but is sadly the most reliable way I can get music onto my iPhone and iPod. Beyond that, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Index PDF files with Windows 7 64-bit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post I offered some hints for getting Windows Search to work better.  Here&#8217;s another one. Adobe PDF files are ubiquitous, so you&#8217;d expect to be able to index them.  But Windows doesn&#8217;t ship with a &#8220;filter&#8221; for this format, so you have to download your own.  According to Adobe: Adobe currently bundles [...]]]></description>
