		<title>SOLVED: Forward IP/Port request to another WAN IP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a requirement from a client to &#8220;proxy&#8221; all requests to a particular IP. Reason being, they wanted to force the DNS updates onto their end-users who had their DNS servers lagged. Also, the point is to redirect users who had the IP address &#8220;bookmarked&#8221;.

		<title>SOLVED: SSHD &#8220;/bin/bash:permission denied&#8221; on Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having a hard time getting sshd to accept logins on a Windows 7 x64 box.  The problems ranged from the error mentioned in the subject line (&#8220;/bin/bash: permission denied&#8221; appearing during logins) to silent failures during password authentication, during which the ssh
connection would simply be closed by the instance of Cygwin sshd [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop following me, Palm!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just when I thought Palm was about to regain the stock back in the smart phone industry with the release of it&#8217;s Pre, I was corrected by a post from Joey Hess on how Palm has been sneaking behind my back and collecting my personal data, including names of installed apps, application usage (and crashes), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sprint hash codes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enjoy these hash codes from Sprint. I have the list compiled for the Palm Pre, but most of these codes should work on other Sprint phones, as well:
##STICKYDIALER# (784259342537)
This enables/disables the Sticky Dialer feature. The sticky dialer feature, when enabled, allows the phone app to run in the background. It is enabled by default. When [...]]]></description>

		<title>$tweet tweeting from shell / command-line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s my attempt at giving something back to the software world. While playing with the twitter API (which is uber-cool, BTW), it seemed I could update the status on my twitter account by simply doing an HTTP POST.

		<title>Cisco got no love for Windows 64-bit? OSS is here to save you!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my recent laptop upgrade, I bacame a [forced?] owner of Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Well, of course I didn&#8217;t waste any time and multi-booted the puppy with Ubuntu and OSX (yes, that&#8217;s Mac OSX).

		<title>[Solved] Eclipse IDE (Access Restriction) issue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the sake of keeping it as brief as possible, while saving you Eclipse IDE users hours of aggravation around the infamous &#8220;Access Restriction&#8221; issue, this is what usually does the trick for me. YMMV, of course:
1. Right-Click on your project and go to &#8220;Properties&#8221;.
2. Go to &#8220;Java Compiler -&#62; Errors/Warnings&#8221;.

		<title>A new chapter in history starts today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m watching the inauguration of soon-to-be now elected president Barack H. Obama go down at the Capitol hill. Also physically present are as many as 2 million people surrounding miles around the podium to witness the historic event unfold as the first ever African American president gets elected the 44th president of the country.
