		<description><![CDATA[I just read that Dr. Randy Pausch passed away last friday.  I&#8217;m not his student, nor did I go to CMU, but the first time I heard him speak was here:

		<title>Make yourself uncomfortable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just listened to some great advice from a podcast &#8220;Venture Voice&#8221; Show #43.  It talks about Fred Seibert who brought Hannah Barbara back from the brink of failure.    In the podcast he talks about &#8220;making yourself uncomfortable&#8221;.

		<title>Mint.com gets a thumbs down.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just started using Quicken for myself and Quickbooks for my consulting business.  I really like the ease of use and time saving that these tools offer me.

		<title>Coldfusion 8 on Redhat 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So i&#8217;m installing Coldfusion 8 for Adobe on some of their Redhat 4 servers and came across this nasty bug:

./Coldfusion-8-lin.bin: line 2479: /tmp/install.dir.31880/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: Permission denied
./Coldfusion-8-lin.bin: line 2479: /tmp/install.dir.31880/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: Success

So I go into /tmp and try to execute the java command.  No luck.  For some reason I think to copy the entire dir into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sun buys MySQL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this is a great step for Sun.  It enters them into the huge database market with the leading database system, and further commits them to an open source intiative (i hope). &#60;!&#8211;More&#8211;&#62;
With Sun&#8217;s resources behind MySQL, they should be able to really beef up mysql&#8217;s backup/replication issues.  yay!!!
