		<description><![CDATA[For the sites I'm currently working on I have search pages all over the place for different resources, especially on the backend. In the past I would forego using form builders and just do some HTML to make a form GET the data. I hate HTML.

		<title>Airbrake&#8217;s Javascript Error Reporting and Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today I turned on the experimental JavaScript Error Reporting in Airbrake today. Within about 5 minutes my inbox was bombarded.

		<title>Application stuck installing on iPhone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was trying to install an app last night while buzzed in a shady dive bar with no signal. 
It took forever and eventually my phone gave up. I figured when I was on a decent network it'd continue installing. Nopecity.

I tried:
* upgrading cucumber (FAIL)
* using another yaml file (FAIL)
* upgrading gherkin (FAIL)
* hard reseting the branch I was on (FAIL)
Turned out to just be a bum rerun.txt file. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I recently started working on Dealbase and its a rails 2 site. I don't have the luxury of called #html_safe on a string to stop it from being escaped.
While working on our syndication system I came across an interesting issue where the links in our Atom feeds were getting escaped:
