		<title>Creating a maintenance window in GridEngine using JSVs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that&#8217;s always been a pain on the BASS is getting the cluster clear when we have a maintenance window, which usually happens monthly.  Our initial solution was to send out an email notifying users of the upcoming outage and then simply killing all of the jobs at the appointed time.  This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping Grid Engine configuration information in Subversion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something I&#8217;ve been doing for the past couple weeks on the BASS is storing the Grid Engine configuration in Subversion.  This allows me to do cool stuff like diff&#8217;ing and rolling back to previous configurations.

The Script

#!/bin/bash

# Configuration values
SGE_ROOT=/usr/share/gridengine
SGE_CELL=default
SVN_URL=file:///home/user/subversion
SVN_IMPORT_DIR=gridconfig
SVN_LOAD=/usr/share/doc/subversion-1.4.2/svn_load_dirs.pl

# The real work
TMPD=`mktemp -d`
source $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common/settings.sh
$SGE_ROOT/util/upgrade_modules/save_sge_config.sh $TMPD
find $TMPD -name accounting -exec rm -v {} \;
sed -i &#34;/^load_values/d&#34; [...]]]></description>

		<title>WordPress GSoC 2009 Idea: Workflow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Birds are chirping, trees are blooming, and each day is a little longer.  This can mean only one thing: Google Summer of Code is upon us.  This year, I&#8217;m proposing to add a publishing workflow to WordPress.

Introduction
Some of these ideas are taken from a page I started on the WordPress Codex to mull [...]]]></description>

		<title>The most popular WordPress actions and filters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WordPress has an amazing plugin system that has allowed thousands of plugins to be created.  At the heart of the plugin system are actions and filters that allow developers to hook into the WordPress internals and tweak things.  There are hundreds of actions and filters, many of which are described on the codex, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Walking around at Occoneechee Mountain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the semester winding down, I took a couple hours this morning to go outside and see the world for a change.  My goal was Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area, a state park about 10 miles away.  The drive there along Old Highway 86 was pleasant enough.  Until, that is, I got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Consider the lobster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As my time in Würzburg teaching English was winding to an end, I was seeking a longer text that could challenge my advanced class of juniors.  We had spent almost a year (two for some of them) reading political articles and random current events, but I wanted to find something literary, something that had [...]]]></description>

These are all available in the Comments page of your blog, but who wants to go there every day to check up on things.  By taking control of WordPress Cron [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plugin Stats 1.1 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I released Version 1.0 (and quickly thereafter, Version 1.1) of a WordPress plugin called Plugin Stats!  The plugin is designed for WordPress plugin developers to keep track of downloads of their plugins.  The plugin graphs the number of downloads in three different ways:

		<title>Using WordPress Cron and WP-Crontrol to make you post more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new version of WP-Crontrol allows you to add new cron entries with code.  This allows you to write code that will repeatedly be executed without actually touching any .PHP files.  Below, I present a way to utilize this functionality to remind you to post something if you haven&#8217;t done so in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitterdoodle 1.0 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend, I quietly released Twitterdoodle, a WordPress plugin which allows a user to create posts and categories based on Twitter keyword searches.  It uses Summize to provide search results.

The plugin was sponsored by The Lessnau Lounge which means each Twitterdoodle post contains a sponsored link to his site.  He&#8217;s advertised it [...]]]></description>
