		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking into using a templating engine for formatting output from a Java component.  From what I can tell, the top 3 templating engines for Java are Apache Velocity, Jxp, and FreeMarker.
Right away, Velocity stands out given the reputation of the Apache Foundation.  Looking at Jxp, though, it&#8217;s appealing to be able to use standard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As described in my earlier post, I managed to get my hand-me-down Dell Dimension 8400 desktop working after a little tinkering and a lot of reading. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 and was up and running for a good week.

But, alas, my poor computer was destined for yet another crippling problem. One evening as I read the news, the cpu usage maxed out, and the computer was unresponsive. I believe Firefox was the only application open. Regardless, it was under a very light load.

After turning the computer off, I waited a few seconds, and then pushed the power button. Instead of booting from my Ubuntu partition, Grub presented me with a command line. I tried manually booting from the hard drive with no luck.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was only a matter of time before I needed a Thread-safe Map.  Looking at the synchronization wrappers for the Java  Collections framework, I couldn't help but be disappointed.  The wrapper classes provide external synchronization on the entire Collection.  That means that any read or update method is locking -- one thing in at a time.  What a performance bottleneck!]]></description>

The project I&#8217;m working on frequently uses a home-grown hash table implementation, but I wanted to transition to the more recently developed Java Collection classes. Since J2SE 1.5.0, the data structures in the Collections framework have been updated to [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a tool for searching flights, hotels, rental cars, and cruises, but I&#8217;ve only used it to lookup up and compare flights.  Kayak&#8217;s pretty useful for finding the right flight; you can choose the number of stops, which airlines you&#8217;d like to consider, and what online [...]]]></description>

1/2 to 1 lb. cooked turkey
 2 cups gravy
 1 lb. campanelle pasta
