		<title>New year, new host</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got my fill of Dreamhost. I&#8217;m in the middle of moving all my sites over to A2Hosting.com. So far, I&#8217;ve migrated jamesnotjim.com, hadenthomasmartin.com, and, if you&#8217;re reading this, wheatblog.com.
There are still several more sites to go, but I  haven&#8217;t had any major issues yet. Most of the remaining sites will be easy. [...]

		<title>Cp2DB: Adobe Captivate Quiz Reporting with PHP/MySQL (Version 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people liked my initial effort at creating a PHP/MySQL reporting solution for quizzes created with Adobe Captivate 4. The holiday break gave me a little extra time to work on the project, so I&#8217;m happy to release a new version. I even created a separate page for the project, but I&#8217;m still [...]

		<title>Open content and the future of education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of colleges and universities, big and small, are putting content online for free these days. Not long back, this meant teasers of various sorts, but, of late, more and more players&#8211;especially some of the big name institutions, are putting entire courses online. And, these day&#8217;s it&#8217;s often not just introductory courses. There&#8217;s quite [...]

		<title>And the winner is . . . BackBlaze</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my recent hard drive failure, which ended happily with the successful restoration of my files from my Time Machine backups, I decided to get serious about backing up and look into some off-site, online solutions as a secondary backup in case of some worst-case scenario (e.g. fire, flood, theft&#8211;it hurts to even type those [...]

		<title>Lessons learned: the iMac lives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My iMac is back up and running, after a few days at the Apple Store to replace its internal hard drive, which failed. I was able to migrate all my data from my Time Machine backups. I haven&#8217;t tested extensively yet. The first thing I fired up was iPhoto, as the thing that worried me [...]

		<title>Not out of the woods yet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, my previous post about my Time Machine experience was premature. Though I was able to install what seemed like a stable system from one of my Time Machine backups, rebooting is still a problem. I can sometimes boot into Safe Mode, but a regular boot is out of the question. I attempted to create [...]

		<title>Nothing&#8217;s Perfect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My internal hard drive took a dive Friday. Things got slow, I had to power down, and then OS X wouldn&#8217;t boot. Between then and now, I&#8217;ve learned a lot about OS X and Time Machine. And the whole process just underscores a well-known computing joke: &#8220;There are two types of drives; those that have [...]

		<title>All Over but the Crying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Infinite Summer has wrapped up, and I am still reading Infinite Jest. In fact, I&#8217;m only about halfway through (currently on page 550, by rough estimate [1]). But I&#8217;m still counting it as a victory, because Infinite Jest had been on my list for a long time, and I&#8217;m now too far in to back [...]

		<title>Overheard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Overheard recently in a department store, while Gina, Haden, and I were shopping for some children&#8217;s clothes. A woman, 40-something, and her son, maybe 10 or 11, discuss sizes with a sales clerk:
Clerk: We have those, but only in a &#8220;Husky.&#8221;
Woman: [Emphatically] Oh, no, no. He&#8217;s anorexic skinny&#8211;concentration camp skinny.
Son: ???
Woman: It&#8217;s okay: skinny is [...]

		<title>Switching Back (One Year Later)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first posted about making the switch to Mac a year ago today, so I thought some sort of followup post might be in order (and, you know, I was hurting for a blog idea, so here goes).
I&#8217;ve been pretty vocal about how much I like OS X and the suite of apps that ship [...]
