		<title>Firefox Addon: Zero Personality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Firefox 3.6 brought the world Personas. I&#8217;m not against them; people really like that kind of thing. I am 100% against the mouseover-to-preview functionality, though. Combined with the fact that they are now shoved in your face and that it&#8217;s not trivial to disable it, I&#8217;ve lost a little faith in Mozilla. Fortunately, there are [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Train is Rolling! Texto 3.2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The latest in the long march to version 420, Texto 3.2 features: Domain preferences saved automatically, without clicking a Save button Set file extensions &#8211; trigger syntax highlighting in most any editor. It&#8217;s tagged as a beta version, because so far I always end up making a x.x.1 version a few minutes later with one [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Less Mozex, A Little More Texto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mozex-testo is no more, say hello to Texto! I&#8217;ve posted it on AMO which should give it real updates and has also helped me build a fire to fix some things I&#8217;ve been meaning to do for years. And fantastically, the version I uploaded has a pretty showstopping bug on Windows 7/Vista. It&#8217;s fixed in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mozex-Testo: The Next Generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally gotten some Mozex-Testo enhancements that I&#8217;ve had in mind for years and worked on for months polished to the point where I feel like inflicting them on the world. So here&#8217;s my initial release of the thing, possibly to be followed by a rename and submission to AMO (I like the current name, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox Extension Development Setup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a couple of little tweaks to Firefoc you can make that will simplify extension development greatly &#8211; and I always forget them until I&#8217;m neck deep in actual work and don&#8217;t feel like adjusting my setup.  So here are some essentials, documented for my own purposes in one central place Setup a development [...]]]></description>

		<title>Infinite Jest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally finished David Foster Wallace&#8217;s &#8220;Infinite Jest.&#8221; A couple things: Liked the bits about tennis. Would have to read multiple times to keep all the drugs straight. Dude could write. Reaction to footnotes went: Huh.Oh, boy.Not again.hahahaReally?I need to read #24 again.Don&#8217;t make me read #304 again!Whoa, last page of footnotes. Did NOT end how [...]]]></description>

		<title>It Writes Itself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In downtown Corvallis, there is a popular fountain where maybe 64 (or 36?) jets of water arranged in a square shoot straight up out of the concrete at intervals. On warm afternoons there are always a million happy kids, a fence of watchful, mostly-dry parents, and a few WHARRGARBL dogs. The river is right there, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An old friend decided to drop by this weekend: Mozex-testo 1.13 Works with Firefox 3 now on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Might work on Firefox 2, pretty sure anything older won&#8217;t work. Here&#8217;s the Mac incantation for MacVim users: /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g "+set syntax=html" %t Now that it&#8217;s caught up to FF3 standards, I think I [...]]]></description>

		<title>DFW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been struggling for a while to write something about the loss of David Foster Wallace. Struggling partly because I haven&#8217;t written anything in a human language for a while, and partly because of my complete feeling of awe towards the man&#8217;s work. Nothing I could say would be adequate. Instead I have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maintaining Balance in This New Era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, unemployment hasn&#8217;t reached the point where I don&#8217;t have any work to do yet, in fact I&#8217;m probably putting in more hours now than I have in the last couple of months. Got this one last project that I really want to see put to bed, and to be honest it&#8217;s actually been hugely [...]]]></description>
