		<title>Skype On Linux With A QuickCam 9000</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With my new job I&#8217;m doing mostly Java and experimenting with Erlang and Ruby.  One of the many benefits is that I&#8217;m no longer tied to windows with .NET development.  I inherited an upgrade machine this week so I decided to try running Linux full time.  I chose Ubuntu 9.04.
One of the tools my team [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chriskchew.wordpress.com&blog=3465541&post=80&subd=chriskchew&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Developing .NET On A Mac – Performance and Productivity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a number of questions about performance since I posted about ctrl+alt+insert and Resharper from VMWare Fusion.  Essentially, performance is totally acceptable.
I kind of have two parts to my answer – the speed of Windows when running within VMWare Fusion on a Mac, and also my overall productivity of having OS X as my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chriskchew.wordpress.com&blog=3465541&post=63&subd=chriskchew&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Developing .NET On A Mac – Resharper Alt+Insert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently switched to a Macbook Pro and am doing my .NET development using VMWare Fusion.  I love it and it&#8217;s working very smoothly.
So far the biggest headache I&#8217;ve encountered is that I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to execute the Alt+Insert “Generate&#8230;” Resharper shortcut.
I found a few different posts with suggestions, neither of which worked [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chriskchew.wordpress.com&blog=3465541&post=54&subd=chriskchew&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Re: If&#8230; (Time is the ultimate YouTube Audio Preview Moderator)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jeremy Miller posted today about double-checking his tests when they pass on the first run because something must be wrong.
I definitely empathize with that. Lately, having a test pass the first time is one of the most uncomfortable feelings I get as a programmer.
I have oh-so-many memories of times when I said something which in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chriskchew.wordpress.com&blog=3465541&post=17&subd=chriskchew&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Stackoverflow.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Joel (on Software) and Jeff Atwood are starting up a site called stackoverflow.com meant to be a free Q&#38;A forum for helping to improve the collective knowledge on writing good software.  It&#8217;s an exciting idea and I hope it&#8217;s successful!
Discussing Joel&#8217;s post at work, the head of our technology group asked me what I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chriskchew.wordpress.com&blog=3465541&post=14&subd=chriskchew&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Robustness Requirement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There comes a point when writing professional software that a system simply must have the following characteristics, which I collectively refer to as The Robustness Requirement:

Data Auditability: Every non-system configuration object record must contain fields to capture when and by which user the record was created, as well as when and by whom the record [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chriskchew.wordpress.com&blog=3465541&post=8&subd=chriskchew&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Enterprisey&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I began using the term &#8220;enterprisey&#8221; along with Tyler, my friend and longtime co-worker, around the time we both read Martin Fowler&#8217;s post on Ruby and its relationship with the enterprise world.
Many developers consider enterprisey to be a derogatory term that means &#8220;complex; over engineered; too rigid and downright ridiculous.&#8221;  The term has spawned [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chriskchew.wordpress.com&blog=3465541&post=3&subd=chriskchew&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
