		<title>Getting to &#8216;Hello World&#8217;: Ruby on Rails on Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started playing with Rails.  So far it looks really great.  I get it.  I do.  The concept of Convention over Configuration &#8211; it makes a ton of sense.  Here&#8217;s where you lose me Rails:  how can I install/set up/get to &#8216;Hello World&#8217;?
I want to code.  I don&#8217;t want to configure right?  Ok, let&#8217;s say [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing in the Sky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The folks over at Mozilla Labs have some interesting projects going on.  One I&#8217;ve been playing with recently is Skywriter [originally named Bespin, and kudos to you if you got the reference without clicking the link].  The basic premise: it&#8217;s an IDE like editor you can add to your web applications.
The effect is pretty impressive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enumerating the Enumerations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I find myself using more and more in .Net is the good old Enum.&#160; Very often there are a list of choices for a UI or options for things like object states or statuses that we need to represent in code.&#160; The most readable way to do that is using an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using dynamic connection strings with the Asp.Net Sql Membership Provider</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you did it.  You drank the MS Kool Aid and decided to go full bore and implement the Asp.Net Membership Provider.
As with any out of the box solution like the membership provider there are alot of pro&#8217;s.  It gives you quite a bit out of the box:

		<title>New look, new feel, new stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I currently drive a blue Honda CRV.  When I first started looking at  buying the car I knew CRV&#8217;s were popular.  But to be honest I didn&#8217;t notice that many on the road.  And most of the ones I had seen were black or red.  Well of course after having the car for a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make the code pretty damn it!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I haven&#8217;t posted here in a bit.  For a variety of reasons.  One of them has been my struggles with BlogEngine which I think I am just now starting to really get down.
My most recent struggle has been with code syntax highlighting.  If you are a developer and you&#8217;re going to blog you will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Extending jQuery: Custom Selectors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this question on StackOverflow the other day.  And my first reaction was huh?  My second was, of course!  Brilliant!
One of the keys to writing effective jQuery is being able to write effective selectors.  It’s really one of those things that you just get better at with experience.  But what happens when you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft CRM: &#8220;Server is unable to process request.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve done any good amount of work using the Microsoft CRM Web Service you have most certainly been told on one occasion or another that the &#8220;Server is unable to process request&#8221;.&#160;
What does this even mean?&#160; Is the server down?&#160; Does my user not have enough permission?&#160; Did I send the right request?&#160; At [...]]]></description>

		<title>Branding Microsoft CRM &amp; Reclaiming A Little Screen Real Estate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Problem
When my company first looked at Microsoft CRM a few years ago there were two immediate questions.

(From the higher ups) How can we brand Microsoft CRM, so that our users know it as Company ABC CRM?

		<title>Injecting jQuery Into Microsoft CRM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve done any decent amount of customization work with Microsoft CRM (version 3.0 or 4.0) you have probably had to remember all the JavaScript you tried so hard to forget.&#160; Maybe you&#8217;re trying to do some advanced form validation or want to do some advanced CSS manipulation.&#160; These things are not very simple and [...]]]></description>
