		<title>href_to_params</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every now and then I find myself in need of the ability to take a string like &#8220;http://www.estately.com/p/WA_Seattle&#8221; and figure out the params hash that it would generate &#8211; the method to do that in rails isn&#8217;t immediately obvious, but after a little digging, I&#8217;m happy to say it isn&#8217;t too hard. I admit, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Ode to the cool American Nerd: Jamis Buck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Take a look at the pictures in this post. Who&#8217;s the real nerd? Jamis Buck or the pretty boys posing in the hallway? We all know the answer. Those guys didn&#8217;t play D&#38;D after the age of 13. It&#8217;s Jamis, one of the clearest writers, one of the best OSS contributors and one of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mechanical Turk Gem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amazon&#8217;s mechanical turk gem 0.90 was released a couple of days ago (download here). We aren&#8217;t using Mechanical Turk yet, bu I have a myriad of things I&#8217;d like to try it on. Mechanical Turk is brilliant, but it seems a unnecessarily complicated on the developer side. The documentation is thorough, but I couldn&#8217;t find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Script/generate and add to svn at the same time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m probably the last to know how to add files to svn as you are generating them. Add -c to your command: script/generate migration likeability_to_homes -c And you don&#8217;t have to svn add your way to carpel tunnel.]]></description>

		<title>If you aren&#8217;t using Firebug yet, you should be</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve decided that if it cost money, we would pay for Firebug. Since I installed it, I&#8217;ve found myself tweaking a lot of designs in Firebug. It&#8217;s especially helpful if you want to see what a page would look like with our without specific styles or if you can&#8217;t figure out why certain elements are [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Null Object Pattern for Users</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Null Object Pattern certainly isn&#8217;t a new idea, but it&#8217;s simple and can really help clean up some code, so I thought I&#8217;d share an example. Background Our login system is based off of acts_as_authenticated, but very few of our pages require a user to be logged in. We want to find out about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rad Rad Rad Gems and Plugins for rails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things have come a long way since the first project I developed on rails. Starting out I wanted to keep things simple but now I can’t get enough of the time saving complexity that many great gems and plugins bring! So here they are, in no particular order at all, a few of the recent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Business geeks on their true passion: code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally I&#8217;d suggest starting a blog about code by just jumping in &#8211; it ain&#8217;t a blog about talking, right? But I&#8217;ll disregard my own advice and give you a little background first. Doug and I started ShackPrices.com a little over a year ago and settled on Ruby on Rails a couple of months later.
