		<title>Four out of the box ideas for work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Use improv the illustrate process descriptions. You&#8217;ll be able to see and understand the process in a different way and can help identify errors and bottlenecks before going too deep into design. 
2. Hire an artist to capture requirements and planning meetings. Artists interpret and capture meaning, unlike photographs. 
3. Put a big HDTV [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plug-in architectures in Java</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An off-hand discussion at work (&#8220;This application is being used by more groups now . . . wouldn&#8217;t it be cool to make it so they can develop independently?&#8221;) led to me looking into Java classloaders this weekend.  Here&#8217;s the core for an application that&#8217;s treated like a bus in that it looks to [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ll be your low Gearscore tank tonight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got done running my second Heroic on Kadee, my much neglected Paladin:  Violet Hold and Halls of Stone.  Blizzard isn&#8217;t do a great job doing gearscore matching, though:

Thanks to the group that stuck with me through it.  I didn&#8217;t die, but I can&#8217;t say the same for the other melee [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Halls of Reflection (Heroic) tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my, what, 30th wipe in Halls of Reflection Heroic, this time to a tank that wouldn&#8217;t pull waves back to the group but kept trying to fight on the altar, finally keeping Falric out of my healing range after I was feared in the opposite direction, I&#8217;m convinced Halls of Reflection is actually a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oculus with four dragons, dismounted healer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we ran heroic Oculus with a dismounted healer (me) today.  It was unintentional:  I got knocked down early and landed on Treasure Island safely, where I healed myself up and started healing the other drakes.  It was much easier to keep the rest of the group up as a T9 Tree [...]]]></description>

		<title>The inevitable decline in HPS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been running a lot of random heroics (10-15 a day on weekends &#8212; I&#8217;m putting together two sets of T9+) and have noticed that as the other players gear up, my HPS has done down faster than my Healing Spellpower has gone up.
In my last run, for instance, I got 1744.7 HPS for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>G13 WoW UI layout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s my updated UI for World of Warcraft.

Buttons are laid out to match the Logitech G13 &#8212; the exact choice for each button is still being tweaked, but it&#8217;s pretty close to done.  Main chat and Grid are next to each other to watch player health, discussion, and DBM warnings in the chat log.

		<title>WoW patch 3.3&#8217;s impact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In World of Warcraft, I&#8217;m playing one of two roles lately:  tank and healer.  Patch 3.3 has been released and here are the big impacts on those roles:

Classes: General

Area-of-Effect Damage Caps: We’ve redesigned the way area damage is capped when hitting many targets. Instead of a hard cap on total damage done, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Signature of a Java service</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve dealt with Java services at Amazon too long when I can spot one by the CPU/memory signature.
This is pretty typical of a long-running service garbage collecting with old generation objects.  Note the CPU utilization as the VM removes old generation objects and subsequent drop in memory utilization.

		<title>Radar Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been snatching 30 and 60 minute blocks of time in the evenings and on the weekends to get back to work on my Radar test in Python with PyGame from nearly four years ago.  PyGame 1.9.1 installed easily on my Windows box and OS X laptop and integrated well with Python 3.1 (on [...]]]></description>
