		<title>Python Matplotlib plot_date Wrapper Script</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of work lately with data mining and presentation. Specifically, I&#8217;ve been parsing Nagios log files to gather outage statistics and do trending on the data. I came across the amazing Matplotlib in my search for Python graphing modules. I&#8217;m sure anyone who does coding and graphing in the scientific community [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zenoss Email Based Event Acknowledgment Updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick update&#8230; I developed this script on an earlier version of Zenoss Core. I&#8217;ve made some small tweaks so it&#8217;s compatible with the latest release of Zenoss Core (tested on 2.4.5 &#38; 2.5.0). I&#8217;ve also removed a section that had a Zenoss patch that is no longer necessary.
Thanks to some feedback from Rodrique Heron, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building RRDTool on Centos/Redhat x86_64 Systems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just ran into this one and thought someone else might find it useful. I was trying to compile rrdtool under Centos5 x86_64 so that I could have access to the perl libraries. It seems like rrdtool can get confused when looking for dependencies. First, install the dependencies via yum:
# yum install cairo-devel libxml2-devel pango-devel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grails and the CMDB Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve been developing a CMDB (Configuration Management Database) to help drive automation and provisioning of systems. I first started by designing a database to model our Datacenter and all the assets that we need to manage within it. I did this by hand, using MySQL and then built a CGI front-end to it using [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trac to Jira Migration Tool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I was browsing through my Google Code home page that I&#8217;d forgotten about. I came across a tool I wrote to migrate Trac databases to CSV for import into Jira. I figured it might be useful for some of you if you are moving away from Trac to Jira. Enjoy!

		<title>More To Come&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a while since I posted anything. I was in limbo for a while personally (planning a wedding) and professionally. After three months of unemployment, I landed a contract as a tools developer for an energy technology company, Silver Spring Networks. We provide a full end-to-end Smart Grid solution for power utilities. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zenoss &#8211; Email Event Acknowledgment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago, I wrote a detailed how-to on implementing email based event acknowledgment, in Zenoss. This feature is sorely missing from a lot of &#8220;Enterprise Grade&#8221; network monitoring systems. I decided to extend Zenoss and write my own. Have a look at my detailed how-to.
