		<description><![CDATA[I have toyed with this concept before, and thanks in equal parts to Merlin Manns Inbox Zero, GMail, and my own epic laziness and lack of desire to wade through, well, crap, I have finally succeeded.  I bragged on Facebook and got a few people expressing an astonished brand of envy, so I thought I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the extended outage. The dreaded dear-god-when-will-something-go-my-way-damnit outage. Every seasoned admin has had one, whether by accident or (faulty) design. This is the outage that impacts your customers for a long time, bringing pressure on you to &#8220;Just fix it&#8221;. As if it were, you know, like slapping a spare tire on the car or [...]]]></description>

I did not really understand that at first, but now it&#8217;s one of my prime tenets. For the record, being invisible is very hard. The projector operator is invisible, until the movie cuts out.
