		<title>It&#8217;s alive!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oops, my blog was down.  I kind of knew it was, I was just too lazy to move it, I wasn&#8217;t sure if I wanted it anymore.  Life has been very crazy since I started this blog:  

I got in trouble at work (Avon) for posting here.
I had a son
I got divorced
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>What happens when constraints go bye-bye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was laying in bed this morning, thinking about how late I get up now compared to when I worked at Avon.  I tend to go to sleep around 1am or later most nights, and get up around 9:00 or 9:30 am.  Late night seems to be optimal coding time for me, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Server move and Tasty planner update.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am sure if you read my blog, you are aware that Steelpixel Hosting has been &#8220;acquired&#8221; by RailsPlayground for an undisclosed sum of nothing (read: $0).  I made a major MAJOR mistake with the hosting server and the easiest route was to just move people to a new service.  The control panel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rails Edge Change: How to add a counter cache to an existing db table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A counter cache is a drop dead simple feature that makes counting child objects much faster.  It allows you to keep a database field on the parent object, with the integer in it.  Rails will update the counter for you when an association is made between the parent and child objects.

		<title>Losing my google juice for Josh Owens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I guess the jig is up.  My g rankings are starting to slip.  I suspect if I redesigned the site a little to point to all my active projects and all the writing I have done around the web, I would probably go up a few notches.  I used to be [...]]]></description>

We won first place with our rails rumble app entry, Tasty Planner.  I am very proud of our team and we are all excited to turn it into a real business!

		<title>Rails page caching with an admin interface</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chris and I recently released the new Web 2.0 Show website and we worked very hard to ensure the performance was as quick as we could make it.  We used the ySlow plugin for firefox and made most of the tweaks they suggested, we were able to get to a B (86) before we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just for the web 2.0 show fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I figure if you read this, you must either know me personally or you are a fan of the web 2.0 show.  If you aren&#8217;t a fan, you can just ignore this one.  Chris and I have been hard at work putting together a new website/backend for the show.  We wanted [...]]]></description>
