		<title>VMWare installation wiped my Windows network configuration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How can I get it back?
See http://communities.vmware.com/thread/188366 for the gory details. I hope this can get resolved in a timely manner :-/
Update:
Someone with a brighter mind then me suggested to use Windows System Restore feature. Excellent idea, everything is working again. I&#8217;ll still go for the VMWare support because such a thing should clearly not [...]]]></description>

		<title>FF3 respects IE/OS security settings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re one of the few poor (thousands, worldwide) users, you will be pretty surprised and upset once you find out why your downloads suddenly don&#8217;t work in your shiny new FF3 installation.
So what happened?
The FF developers decided that their Windows Application should respect the OS security settings. In my case, I use IE only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t been living under a rock, you&#8217;ve certainly noticed the growing number of prototypes of casual games implemented in browsers using their latest canvas and related technologies.
Actually, this is the kind of start of revolution you&#8217;ve been seeing in every computer generation at the beginning, this is just a repeating pattern. Just remember [...]]]></description>

		<title>Praise sieve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been running my own IMAP server for over 8 years now. Back when I evaluated possible options, I was fond of having all my mails remote accessible on my server and being able to do server-side filtering with sieve.
However, back then there existed no practical solution with the software I was using (Mozilla Mail, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updated phpdoc.vim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again I&#8217;ve updated the phpdoc.vim plugin which is an improved version from the one found at vim.org. I finally got around to give it it&#8217;s on place to exist.
Stuff recently added:

Don&#8217;t interrupt  when writing code. The phpdocs get inserted transparently while you&#8217;re typing. Automatic insertion is triggered when the &#8216;{&#8216; for a class/interface/function are [...]]]></description>

		<title>PHP: Memory leak in implicit __toString() call with certain functions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[See the gory details in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43450.
Basically, there are function which expect strings and the implicit _toString() call on an object will leak memory. Testcase:

&#60; ?php
    class Foo {
        function __toString() {
            return 'foo';

		<title>Update2: reverse full page zoom feature without patch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post I talked about a patch to reverse the behavior when  using the mouse with the control-key to use the new full page zoom in Firefox 3 beta 1. Well, it seems like there&#8217;s an obvious simple soluation already possible: just set the hidden config mousewheel.withcontrolkey.numlines to -1 instead of 1 and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update: Custom Firefox 3 build with &#8220;zoom.reverse&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really couldn&#8217;t stand the zoom behavior with the mouse the way it has been changed for Firefox 3. However zooming is such a crucial part for me I want ahead, set up a custom build environment and after hours of fiddling a patch came out.
This patch honors the (hidden) preference zoom.reverse when doing the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Javascript parsing: bootleneck?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While hacking on performance and a soon to be released customer site, it occurred to me that parsing the JavaScript we use is a pretty huge bottleneck. For CSS and JavaScript we use minification and compression and we even use domain aliases to parallel image/resource downloads.
We currently haven&#8217;t the templates connected to the CMS yet, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Very short URLs with Mediawiki</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to configuring Mediawiki to have very short URLs, according to the Mediawiki documentation it seems the possibilities are endless. It you go through he page, in Austrian we would see it&#8217;s like &#8220;Kraut und Rüben&#8221;, which means something like it&#8217;s a mess, unordered, crowded.
My simple goal was: have the shortest possible article [...]]]></description>
