		<title>Running awstats on Gentoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Requirements

I'm assuming for this quick guide that you already have a website installed and consequently apache.

emerge -av awstats


A quick breakdown on the use flags from gentookit's equery:


apache2 : Add Apache2 support
geoip   : Add geoip support for country and city lookup based on IPs
vhosts  : Adds support for installing web-based applications into a [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMake &#8230; Java &#8230; Pain &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been working quite fervently to get CMake working for a Java project I've taken on and have found that it has a couple of issues still.  The first issue is an undefined CMAKE_Java_LINK_EXECUTABLE variable, which because Java doesn't really do linking (JIT takes care of doing something that I haven't looked into yet) [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mother System Load</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I found out that some machines can't handle the load I throw at them.  The following was the status of my web server after apache filled up its memory.  A quick (quite slow actually) reboot of apache and everything was stabilized.

		<title>Layman Overlay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Overlay

My overlay has been available via subversion for quite some time now, but not in any easy to use format (integration with layman).  Getting this overlay to work with yours must have been a pain if you wanted to try something I had been working on.

Making My Overlay Available

The first thing I had to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Optimizing Gentoo CFLAGS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Starting Off

Make sure you've at least looked at the following document: [http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-optimization.xml](Gentoo Optimization Guide).

Checking Flags

The only real change we want to make to our system are simple things we know will not break it.  Thus, we only look at making sure that we have the correct flags for enabling all of the instruction sets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cleaning /etc/portage/package.*</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inroduction

After a while the files in /etc/portage become cluttered with the common, "Let's try this . . . whoops that didn't work . . . let's try this."  No matter how hard you try to keep this clean you have probably forgotten something along the way.  Installing a testing package then removing it [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Disabling&#8221; KScreenSaver via DBUS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[KDE 4 has some major improvements over older versions, but it also seems to have gone backwards in places.  The new libraries probably contribute to this, and are absolutely the way to go.  A nice ability that I've been looking for in powerdevil (the new power manager in KDE 4) is how to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Create a Symfony Development Environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What are We Talking About?

Symfony, the hot new framework for PHP web application development, can drastically reduce development times on intricate applications.  By utilizing a framework and the Rapid Application Development, Agile Development, XP, or whatever development cycle you might like best, elegant code is easier to produce and maintain.  With proper design [...]]]></description>

		<title>C++ Programming Students</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's strange that I'm the only tutor for our Computer Science and Information Systems department, but I can live with that. What irks me though, is how these students come to gain their knowledge about programming.

To be fair I will not mention names, and not blame anyone. I truly believe this to be a simple [...]]]></description>

		<title>XBOX 360</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally broke down and purchased an XBOX 360 with Halo 3. It is an incredible improvement over the first system, and is backwards compatible. The first intriguing thing about the system from a networking perspective is their idea of "Open", "Moderate", and "Closed" NAT. I didn't know that this was possible, but after a [...]]]></description>
