		<title>System Administrivia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son is a crack sysadmin, but it&#8217;s never been my area of interest.  I&#8217;m a software developer.  I like that if something goes wrong with software I wrote, I know exactly who to blame (me) and who can do something about it (me).   With operating systems and hardware &#8212; I&#8217;m at the mercy of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a purchaser of the original Kindle 1 back around November of 2007, I&#8217;m a relatively early adopter of Amazon.com&#8217;s eReader technology.  In general, I&#8217;ve been well satisfied with it, for a first-generation device.  I find the ability to purchase most books for $9.99 or less in a very readable / usable / [...]]]></description>

		<title>Case-Insensitive Regex Patterns in .NET</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, I haven&#8217;t had to do this in a long time, so had to look it up.
There are three options for doing case-insensitive regular expressions in .NET.
The first is to use the RegexOptions enumeration to specify case-insensitive behavior:
Regex.IsMatch("Fubar","^fubar",RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
The equivalent option is to put (?i) at the start of the expression.  This is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My old friend Whil Hentzen, who is still somehow making a living in the FoxPro world with a side of Linux, posted a hilarious and enlightening explanation of Twitter, how it&#8217;s used in the real world, and why it might be necessary to indulge in even if you were born before dirt was invented.
