		<title>Specify a relative time in Cucumber</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Prepping for working on a feature at $work that involves limiting documents by relative time, I hashed out the following steps.  Posting here in case they prove useful for anyone.
I want to be able to specify an arbitrary time, in english, relative to the current time, in my Cucumber steps.  For example,

Scenario: Only [...]]]></description>

		<title>hardware: intel X25-M SSD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got myself a little post tax-return treat this week:  An Intel X25-M SSD for my laptop.  Basically, it&#8217;s an 80 gig solid state hard disk.  Flash memory, like what&#8217;s in your iPod these days.
It arrived at the start of the weekend, and I took a bit of time to install it in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Integration testing SSL with Cucumber</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cucumber, for those who aren&#8217;t up to speed on the latest in testing hotness, is an integration testing framework for Ruby.  While it&#8217;s not strictly limited to integration testing Rails applications, that&#8217;s the context i use it in most of the time.
I saw a question on the rspec list recently asking about how you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spec a FormBuilder in RSpec</title>
		<description><![CDATA[yesterday, I started trying to work on a helper for generating a frequently-repeated calendar widget for the rails app at $WORK.  Being the good BDDer that I am, I launched off a new spec to test the form builder &#8212; and to attempt to backfill specs and cover up the evidence of my naughty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Voted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Popped down the street to my place of voting.  Lines were nice and short &#8212; for my little chunk of the alphabet anyway.  There was another line that was nearly out the back door of the school, but I got right up to the registration desk.
When I got there, they asked if I [...]]]></description>

		<title>athas.org gone live</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I finally pulled the trigger this weekend:  Athas.org is no longer written in PHP.
I&#8217;ve been working on a Rails based re-write on-and-off for the last few months, and we&#8217;ve been using the new site internally, as I work through various different approaches to the project.
By far, one of the trickiest things was figuring [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rubyconf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be heading to rubyconf this weekend, along with about half of my project team.
We&#8217;ll see if I actually blog anything, since I didn&#8217;t write a damned thing about Railsconf.

		<title>Printing error in IE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So &#8230; that was fun.
Bug report gets filed about the application at work.  It seems that there&#8217;s an error that crops up when you print from IE.  The error, of course, being the characteristically unhelpful dialog of garbage that IE likes to throw at you.  After a bit of digging, it got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oracle and rails 1.2.1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grrr &#8230; So, in the course of updating to rails 1.2, it seems that the automagically generated names for database indexes were changed.  Went from &#8220;#{table}_#{columns}_index&#8221; to &#8220;index_#{table}_on_#{columns}&#8221; &#8230; an annoying little change that bumps me up against some sort of Oracle column name length ceiling.  And has the effect of probably breaking [...]]]></description>
