		<description><![CDATA[My latest obsession is astronomy. Mostly I observe from the backyard. However, I have also joined the Atlanta Astronomy Club so I have access to their sites as well. I&#8217;ve also started dabbling in astrophotography which I&#8217;ve been told over and over again is a slippery slope. So far I haven&#8217;t mortgaged anything, but then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, today was my last day at Servidyne. It was really strange. I had one last deployment that had to be done in the morning, and then there was nothing to do. For the first time in 2 years, there was nothing to do. Strange&#8230;
Anyway, on Monday I head over to SilverPop and we&#8217;ll see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I finally got around to porting my little sample issue tracking app to Struts 2. I was looking forward to removing almost all of the mappings from my xwork.xml (now struts.xml) thanks to the new wildcard mapping functionality. However, I&#8217;ve run into a problem due to the fact that you cannot control the case [...]]]></description>

WebWork&#8217;s visitor validation is fine (see this article for an example of it in use), but I&#8217;ve grown to really like having the validation rules right there in the class [...]]]></description>

Our application has been running on JRun since Y2K and it has been showing it&#8217;s age in recent months. We&#8217;ve had lots of issues with the server hanging, and apparent [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m playing a course I haven&#8217;t played in years so I thought I&#8217;d look around the web to see if I could find a course map to remind myself how things layed out.

How does it work in a multi-developer environment?
Now I know this has to have been considered in it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
