		<description><![CDATA[When it's time to write code, developers may do the heavy lifting, but they don't do all the work. The fact of the matter is, if you're a system administrator and you aren't spending some of your time writing code, you may not be as good a problem solver as you'd like to think.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Paul Venezia writing for InfoWorld makes that point in an article in which he explains why administrators should know how to code. Though he doesn't consider himself a programmer, he does write short programs that become tools to deal with whatever random problem he's having at the moment. Often, in less than 50 lines, he can come up with an elegant solution.  Admins need to be at least passable with some sort of scripting language for their chosen platform; ideally, they should be familiar with several,  Venezia stated. Why?  These are the pathways that open up all kinds of possibilities for ...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[Internet Explorer, in its many incarnations, is still one of the most popular web browsers in use today. But it drives many website developers straight up a tree, because it is more difficult to support than other browsers – especially older versions of IE. Many developers now wonder if continuing to support IE is worth the hassle.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[The idea of not supporting IE on a website became a topic for discussion on our Dev Shed forums. By way of introduction, a new member noted that he'd been developing software for more than 25 years, and doing web development for the past decade.  I'm an entrepreneur with several web services, some commercial, some not,  he added. But he reached his limit with Internet Explorer this week while putting together a new, non-commercial service, and decided not to support it;  It just sucks up too much of my time,  he noted.  So now when users log into my site using IE they will see a message...simp...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[It's possible to get Apple's OS X and Microsoft's Windows 7 talking to each other and sharing files. But how easy is it? And can it be done at high speeds? One of our Dev Shed forum members asks this question. He's received one answer so far; if you know of other methods, we'd love to hear from you.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Fairly new member siDev12 writes: I am in the process of trying to get my Windows 7 (professional) PC and Mac 10.6.8 to share files between each other at gigabit Ethernet speeds.   The setup is as follows. Though to begin with I used a gigabit switch TP-Link SG1005D, I was having some issues getting them to talk to each other properly, and so I am using a Netgear router, but still have the same issue.  Both machines have wireless network cards that connect to an Internet router in another room.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[David F. Carr broke the story for Information Week just this morning. The new features, according to Mitch Bishop, chief marketing officer at DotNetNuke, should ease the potential headaches of customers who want to add social capabilities to their setups. Rather than look for a separate, third-party solution for social, businesses can  extend their DotNetNuke sites with social capabilities and just have it all integrated,  Bishop noted, which should simplify implementation. The new social capabilities will be included in DotNetNuke's 6.2 version. They will include activity streams, profiles an...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[Joomla! is one of the most widely used, developed, and supported content management system (CMS) on the Internet.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Creating a Campaign  Now it is time to create your first campaign. Remember, a campaign is simply a newsletter sent to a specific list of subscribers. When you create a campaign, you send it to a specific list, or a subset of a list by taking advantage of the list's fields and interest groups. Campaigns can be comprised of original content, fields, and even Joomla! articles and K2 content. To create your first campaign, log in to your Joomla! website's administrator control panel and go to the JoomlaMailer Campaigns section (Components - gt; Newsletter - gt; Campaigns).

At the time of this writing, it is not possible to create lists using JoomlaMailer; therefore, you will need to create lists through MailChimp. Click the Lists link in your MailChimp dashboard.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[While Joomla! provides enough basic features to run a small website, its robust extension support can be used to develop complex websites capable of serving content to tens of thousands of visitors. When websites become this large, staying in touch with the user base can become a daunting task. One of the best methods for keeping in touch with visitors is through the use of email marketing, or in other words, newsletters. By allowing your users to register and subscribe to your newsletter, you can accomplish several things:  You can drive traffic to your website by inviting recipients to read ...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[The main benefit of SSH Public Key authentication is that your website will be protected against brute force attacks, and enjoy the benefits of encrypted communication. Brute force attacks are automated random guessing of passwords in your SSH server in an attempt to access it illegally. This tutorial will show you how to use public key authentication.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[If your website uses weak passwords, your SSH server can easily be hacked using brute force techniques. Almost all paid hosting accounts in the most common web hosting companies do include the SSH feature. But the default SSH activation is not enough; it is still susceptible to brute force hacking attacks. An SSH server (such as your hosting account) can be accessed in two ways: using password authentication, and using public key authentication. Password authentication is the most common method of accessing an SSH server. It requires users to enter the SSH username, password, hostname and SSH ...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Patch Options  The patch program has a number of options. (You can refer to the patch man page for more details.) However, in practice, the only option that matters much is the -p argument, which is used to align the absolute paths used in the patch  #64257;le with the local directory structure containing the sources that the patch is being applied to. When you run cvs diff to create a patch  #64257;le, it is best to do it from within the source tree, at the highest level in the directory hierarchy necessary to include all the  #64257;les that have changes.

The steps I provide here are almost certainly going to be the same when executed on non-Red Hat systems, and may differ in certain ways on other UNIX-based systems, including Mac OS X. The work involved in getting a CVS server up and running is not terribly dif #64257;cult, and can be done in a relatively short amount of time.

Tinderbox is designed to manage the complexity one encounters when developing software, especially in terms of large-scale cross-platform software that involves a widely distributed team of developers.

		<description><![CDATA[Joomla! is one of the most widely used content management systems (CMS) on the Internet today. It is used by tens of millions of websites and has been under constant development since it forked from the Mambo project in 2005. While Joomla! includes an impressive array of features, including blogs, categories and sections, user management, email announcements, built-in search, and over 7,500 modular extensions, one necessary feature it still lacks is a built-in backup system.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[There is certainly more than one way to backup your Joomla! website, but without a reliable component (or even a built-in one), backing up a Joomla! website is a feat left to more technically savvy individuals. Without a backup component, the only way to reliably backup your Joomla! website is by using complex database and operating system commands. Luckily, a wonderful backup component for Joomla! has been developed called Akeeba Backup (http://www.akeebabackup.com/).
