		<title>jaxws-maven-plugin on java 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just spent another 2 hours trying to get the jaxb-maven-plugin to work on my build machine. I&#8217;ve noticed this problem several times in the past too - javb-maven-plugin is not happy when you move between JVMs. Unfortunately to identify the problem I had to modify and re-build the plgin to get it to show [...]]]></description>

		<title>Multiple page printing in OpenOffice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just discovered a very well hidden feature in open office. It is possible to print multiple pages per sheet (as you can do in just about every gnome application through the standard print dialog):


    View the print preview (from the toolbar button)
    Select multiple pages (from the toolbar), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Faster Maven Releases</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Maven2 release plugin is fantastic at sorting out your builds, but can be quite slow. 
The default script operates in two phases: First, it checks that the project is valid, updates the poms and creates appropriate tags in subversion. Secondly, it checks out the tagged code, performs a full build and deploy.

If you follow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ubuntu Printer Margin Setup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Until now, I&#8217;ve never managed to reliably setup printer margins correctly in Ubuntu and have occasionally had odd characters printed on the page. I think this is a combination of using a relatively old and obscure printer (HP LaserJet 5P) and also using A4 paper when most of the cups/ppd files default to letter.

Anyway, here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Universal International Freephone Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Skype support has just confirmed that I&#8217;m not going insane and it is in fact a limitation of their software that means I cannot dial a Universal International Freephone Number with skype-out.

I need one to join a web based conferencing system and don&#8217;t have a real phone nearby. So I&#8217;ll have to stick to calling [...]]]></description>

Ideally this should be a standard .msi file, so that it can be easily managed remotely. My own requirement was that this must integrate into our maven2 build system, ideally without requring any extra installation other than by  [...]]]></description>

		<title>UML2 stereotype properties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working with the eclipse uml2 libraries a lot lately. They&#8217;re confusing to start with, since the api makes no effort to encapsulate the underlying ecore model. Today I spent half an hour puzzling over a slightly complex use of stereotypes: we have a stereotype in our profile with properties which are defined as [...]]]></description>

		<title>IBM to the rescue</title>

This is certainly the fastest fixed bug I&#8217;ve had on an open source project that I&#8217;ve only been involved with as a reporter. If only IBM sponsored [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maven2 Unit Test Dependencies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written a few utility classes for unit tests in one project and want to reuse these in the tests for another project. I&#8217;m too lazy to separate these out into a proper test-helper project and don&#8217;t want the tests to be in the main jar of the first project. The Maven2 docs aren&#8217;t very [...]]]></description>

Standard ssh port forwarding allows me tunnel a ssh port into the remote machine, but subversion doesn&#8217;t support non-standard ports in the url. So, accessing a [...]]]></description>

Both of these promise exciting times in Debian over the next few month, hopefully making Debian fun again. The stable release means many of the bad [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve used their service a few times in the past and found them to be very fast, efficient and most importantly good quality photos. However, after using their serve today, I feel extremely disappointed on two fronts:

		<title>Gnome configuration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently set up a new machine with Gnome and would like to share a few tips for making gnome much faster and more pleasant to use.

My main tip is to create a .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home directory. This contains &#8216;hidden&#8217; options for gtk+, and hence gnome. Some of them cannot be set anywhere [...]]]></description>

		<title>sysprof call counting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many performance issues in applications are caused by inappropriate choice of algorithms or data types. One typical result of an inappropriate algorithm is that some method is called far too frequently. For example, if random access is often made to lists (for example, to check whether it contains an element), an &#8216;equals&#8217; function would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Debian bug reporting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just noticed Philipp Kerns&#8217; SoC update for a gnome frontend to reportbug. It sounds like he&#8217;s been very constrained by the original specification - the application will just be a gnome frontend to a cli tool rather than a graphical interface to the bts. It&#8217;s also going to heavily debian bts specific, one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gtk+/Gtk# layout design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear lazyweb,

There has been a lot of talk recently on the Monodevelop List about the containers used in Gtk+. Many developers who are used to winforms and other fixed layout toolkits are requesting fixed container layouts. What&#8217;s the best way of telling them that Gtk layout is superior, even though it means they have to [...]]]></description>

Monodevelop itself is a huge improvement over the previous 0.8 release I tried. Still has a long way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Musings over Monodevelop and Gtk#</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally managed to get a recent working version of MonoDevelop installed. Many weeks of attempts with jhbuild failed, I suspect due to mono path issues, so as a final resort, I tried just taking the stock ubuntu package and rebuilding with a svn checkout. After installing the resulting package, monodevelop worked first time. Perfect.

I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>
