		<title>Exercise and the Art of Christine Maintenance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been good at exercising regularly, despite lots of reminders, from many different sources, in various formats, explaining just how necessary exercise is for your { mental well-being, life span, quality of life, focus, self-image }. The last period of time in which I exercised regularly involved several very regimented systems (From Couch to [...]]]></description>

		<title>One-line HTTP server with Python</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of the time, loading HTML files from the filesystem (with the file://localhost/Users/... sort of path in your URL bar) works fine &#8211; remote files are pulled in, Javascript can usually be run, and things are peachy. Every once in awhile, though, you might run into a situation for which the file:// protocol is ill-suited [...]]]></description>

		<title>Non-ActiveRecord::Base serialized has_many attributes in a nested form</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Per my previous post, I&#8217;m trying to be better about recording &#8220;Duh&#8221; / &#8220;Aha&#8221; moments in my experiments with Rails to 1) improve my learning / general consumer-of-open-source-software habits, and 2) in hopes that I don&#8217;t make similar same silly mistakes again. This post: fields_for with a serialized has_many relationship I&#8217;ve used plenty of nested [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digging into Frameworks and Recording &#8220;Duh&#8221; Moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working closely with our intern Cory, and have now been put in the situation of having to explain why Rails is doing X or not doing Y more in the last couple weeks than the whole of the last several months. (It&#8217;s also worthwhile saying that it&#8217;s incredibly nice having someone to bounce thoughts [...]]]></description>

		<title>How I use ifttt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having a ton of fun lately playing with ifttt, a service that lets you easily glue together different web services you use / rely on every day. If you remember Yahoo Pipes (wiki), ifttt is based off the same ideas &#8211; but is much easier to approach, think about, and use. There are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heroku database -&gt; Amazon S3 backup via rake task</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With Heroku&#8217;s basic database plan, it&#8217;s easy to run heroku pgbackups:capture every once in awhile and save a pg_dump backup of your database &#8211; but it&#8217;s not as easy as it should be to set up automatic backups of your application&#8217;s shared database. By combining Heroku&#8217;s nifty Cron Add-On (runs a Rake task via rake [...]]]></description>

		<title>Useful frontend tidbits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some obscure-ish bits worth remembering while trying to navigate my way through this frontend mess (I wanted to stay a backend engineer&#8230;), dumped here for my records. Ran into some issues with &#8220;clear: both&#8221; in one column affecting divs in the other, pretty early on. Remember: When you clear a float you clear all floats [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nuggets of wisdom from a sad set of goodbyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a year and a half with an amazing group of people (half of which was post-acquisition), I recently gave notice and left what had been my first job out of school. Before  I emailed the entire team, I pulled some of the engineers aside to talk one on one about why I was leaving [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Whole&#8230; Gender Thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to care about &#8220;women in tech.&#8221; I used to jump into those discussions, blood boiling and hands flailing; I used to like to point people to some of my favorite articles and books, and partially still can&#8217;t help but click on every single gender-related article to pop up on HN&#8230; &#8230; but after [...]]]></description>
