		<description><![CDATA[Apache Maven is a build tool and dependency management system for Java that aims to solve a lot of sticky problems. I&#8217;ve been trying to give it a fair chance because people I respect are fans of it, but after giving it many tries I&#8217;ve decided it&#8217;s official: I dislike it and will not recommend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just got in my inbox a message about the Paas cloud platform formerly known as Makara. Redhat bought the company and has since rebranded it to OpenShift Flex. Looks like a cool offering: super-easy deployment of PHP, Python or Rails apps, or a more custom but complicated deployment of J2EE apps and higher-powered sites. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I recently had to create a sortable table using jQuery UI. I figured it should be easy because there&#8217;s a jQuery API specifically for making things sortable and there were plenty of Google hits on &#8220;jquery ui sortable table.&#8221; But, it turns out, while it&#8217;s easy to find information on how to make things [...]]]></description>
