		<title>Rubyists Have More Fun: Drug Themed Ruby Gems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently noticed we are using at least two &#8220;drug themed&#8221; gems in our current Ruby project. In my previous adventures in PHP, Java, and other languages I never ran into any drug themed libraries, so I found this curious, and a bit fun.

		<title>Printing a Specific Line From a Large File in Linux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently had to find a specific line in a large (28GB) file equipped with nothing more than the line number. I thought it would take me just a few seconds to find a cool *nix utility to accomplish this task. Instead, it took me a bit of scouring to find something that works, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been reading about this story, looking through article after article for an update where McDonald&#8217;s comes forward and agrees to pay Nigel Haskett&#8217;s medical bills. Unfortunately, they haven&#8217;t yet and it appears they might let this issue go all the way to court. For those who aren&#8217;t familiar with the story, let me [...]]]></description>
