		<title>uHOWTO: Force script recompilation in embedded Perl Nagios</title>

		<title>A dubious cure for shyness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ As it turns out, there is a &#8220;cure&#8221; for shyness. Seth Stevenson&#8217;s story &#8220;Extroverted Like Me&#8221; is a journey into the world of coolness through chemical aids but it quickly turns into a cautionary tale for those willing to overcome their social awkwardness through the use of mood-altering drugs.
Chocolate still seems safe.

		<title>uHOWTO: Recover an empty Podcast playlist in iTunes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our main iTunes box had flaky RAM -a heck of a problem to debug by itself- so it used to BSOD quite a lot during the past couple of months. One of the most common side effects was that the iTunes Podcast playlist would   appear empty every now and then. Luckily this is [...]]]></description>

		<title>uHOWTO: Recover stuck modified keys from VMware Player or Workstation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you use VMware Player or VMware workstation under Linux and you&#8217;re an alt-tab fan like me, you might end up with stuck modifier keys, so you can&#8217;t use keys like Ctrl, Alt or Shift outside of VMware.

		<title>uHOWTO: Speed up RAID resync</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you&#8217;re tired of watching the grass grow while your Linux RAID2 array rebuilds itself.  Let&#8217;s take care of it:

$  echo 10000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min

This should give you a 10x speedup over the 1000kB/sec default &#8212; subject to the limitations of your actual bus bandwidth, of course.

		<title>A brief note about Spamhaus Policy Block List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After getting in closer-than-usual acquaintance with my mail server logs I thought I&#8217;d share a brief note I found in the Spamhaus PBL FAQ:

The first thing to know is: THE PBL IS NOT A BLACKLIST.

		<title>DiskAid: access the files in your iPhone or iPod Touch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I upgraded my wife&#8217;s iPod Touch to 2.1, and I just can&#8217;t believe that iTunes won&#8217;t let you backup your content even if it means a paid firmware upgrade. I would have used PodsBlitz to back it up, except that Apple decided that it would be a good idea to strip [...]]]></description>
