		<title>Revisiting Emacs on OSX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I used an Apple machine with OSX, XEmacs was my editor of
choice. Recently I saw Emacs 23 being released with native OSX support
in the main repository (well, NextStep support formally, but with Cocoa
bindings, which makes it OSX native I guess).

That alone was enough to revisit the old friend. With caution, because I
still feel the [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenERP as LDAP data-source</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a side-effect of Migrating to Claws I lost my OSX addressbook usage, at least for mail. In my company we use OpenERP for CRM, invoicing and other business needs. This means that the majority, if not all the email-addresses I need are in our OpenERP database. 

So, it made sense to finish an effort [...]]]></description>

Most of these were little nuisances and just needed a little reconfiguration. There were a couple of things where Apple decided to rename an app or hide it otherwise from view (Kerberos Ticket manager [...]]]></description>

In the beginning, things were simple, but it gets messy pretty quick. One feature which these networks share in some form or another are  &#8220;status notices&#8221;.

		<title>Reasoning my way into new toys</title>

My girlfriend had organised a two day trip, she usually does something like that for my birthday, to an unknown destination to do something unknown. We were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Switching to another blog client</title>

There has been no update of ecto since and I&#8217;m seeing no signs of improvement either. Does this mean ecto as a product is bad? No. I still love the idea [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kerberos transition started</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of last thursday, I&#8217;ve started to migrate everything in our network to use GSSAPI or Kerberos authentication. The amount of passwords and accounts grew over our heads and the inevitable &#8220;I&#8217;ll use the same everywhere&#8221; started to be apparent.

The actual preparation for this already started more than a year ago. We are in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looks vs Brains</title>

The first 25 years seem to deal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smoothly migrating your Xaraya installs to PHP 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We run about 30 Xaraya installations for our clients on our servers. Some of those clients are eager to migrate to PHP 5 while others are more conventional and want to wait. For others, due to the specific requirements, moving to PHP 5 is not possible yet. How to cater for both of these customers?
