		<title>Access your global zone X11 server from a local zone, without TCP/IP!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve stumbled over some ARC case enabling labelled zones in OpenSolaris (from Trusted Extensions) to access the X11 server in the global zone &#8220;natively&#8221; using Unix domain sockets instead of TCP/IP or other jokes. It seems that mounting the X11 socket with the loopback filesystem driver into your zone does the job quite well and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tablets&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After having played around with that Aiptek graphics tablet from my dad, I&#8217;ve decided I also need one. I&#8217;ve ordered a Wacom Bamboo Fun medium, it was delivered today, and let me tell you&#8230;


Then again, I&#8217;ve never really cared about drawing until now. Geometric shape doodles while bored at school maybe, but that&#8217;s it. First [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheap dedicated hosting!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally found a relatively cheap dedicated webhost, that allows me to evade this stupid VPS bullshit and actually let me do what I want. That host is called Hetzner Online, located in Germany.
If you don&#8217;t need mission critical hosting and can accept running your stuff on consumer hardware, this might just be for you. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What the fuck Firefox?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I had my machine idling there, while I was doing some paper work (i.e. bills), noticing that the disks make a short ruckus periodically. Trying to find out what it was, I dtraced my system.
Turns out that Firefox seems to maintain a temporary SQLite database, which holds a copy your browsing history. That database [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fedora 9 on BrandZ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re in need of Linux emulation for whatever reason under Solaris, you&#8217;ve an existing mechanism at hand called BrandZ. The seemingly supported distros however are CentOS 3/4 and 5. Kind of antique. Stuff like Ubuntu or various other distros don&#8217;t seem to work. However if you really need an updated userland, try Fedora 9.
You [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building Mono 2.0 on OpenSolaris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve tried to build the source from scratch and hacked the configure file in various ways, nothing helped. I&#8217;m not sure what the problem is, it looks like the C# compiler in the Mono Lite package freaking out for some reason. To actually build it properly, you have to have an existing working C# compiler. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pidgin configure is fucking stupid!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seriously, why use autoconf if you need to go hands on anyway? That shit started somewhere with the 2.4.x releases and is fucking retarded and annoying. See this:
checking for GTKSPELL... no
configure: error:
GtkSpell development headers not found.
Use --disable-gtkspell if you do not need it.
Duh? How about you just go about implying that parameter then? Like how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solaris/x86 software you might be interested in&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While we wait for Sun to fill up its IPS repository for OpenSolaris and whether third parties create good repos or not (Blastwave, yach!), here&#8217;s a three links to binary packages that might interest you and shouldn&#8217;t be missing on any system (I&#8217;ve tested them only under Solaris Nevada/OpenSolaris). All links are SVR4 packages:
Transmission 1.21: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fucking &#8220;reviews&#8221;!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s this trend lately of various sites claiming to have done &#8220;reviews&#8221;, that are essentially just parrotting the related press release with some slightly different words?
For days now I&#8217;m trying to find actual real world pictures of the upcoming Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, yet whatever exclusion search I try, I keep running into these silly &#8220;reviews&#8221;, [...]]]></description>
