			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I got an email for a job today which had the following line:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Plans, conducts, and coordinates programming application activities. Analyzes, designs and implements business application computer software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business problems, questions or processes.
</p></blockquote>
<p>I decided to Google that <a href="http://www.google.com/search?&#038;q=Plans,+conducts,+and+coordinates+programming+application+activities.+Analyzes,+designs+and+implements+business+application+computer+software+that+contains+logical+and+mathematical+solutions+to+business+problems,+questions+or+processes.">phrase</a> (the whole phrase).  There were a ton of results.  The results were not generic, they were exact matches.  People had the exact phrase, punctuation and all, in their LinkedIn description for past work in at a job and other jobs in other parts of the country had the exact same phrase.  This is the problem with most jobs now.  They are not really important enough to write a job description.  If you are going to hire someone to work for your company and pay them thousands of dollars, don&#8217;t you think that a little more effort than a simple cut and paste would be deserved?  With a job description like that, do you expect me to be able to do all my work via cut and paste?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I have heard about <a href="http://nginx.org">nginx</a> (engine x) as a great alternative to apache.  Apache is a very robust web server.  Nginx is a very minimal server.  It doesn&#8217;t to a lot of stuff, but that is fine because it does the things I need it to do.  Being a PHP developer the big hurdle for adopting nginx was getting it to run PHP.  Up until now I had always used PHP as an apache module.  Nginx does not support apache modules, so I have to run PHP in cgi mode.  It required a little bit more configuration than a normal PHP install, but it seems to be very fast.  You can check out my latest project the <a href="http://www.bookticker.com">bookticker</a> and let me know what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I just installed <a href="http://www.nagios.org">nagios</a> on my server at work.  I configured it to check our companies websites every 5-10 minutes.  I even got a couple of the sites setup to check if it was able to log in via the <a href="http://www.webinject.org/plugin.html">web inject plugin</a>.  That&#8217;s not really that or earth shattering.</p>
<p>Things got interesting when I tweeted that I had installed nagios.  A few hours later I was followed by <a href="http://twitter.com/Icinga">Icinga</a>.  Icinga appears to be a competing source monitoring system.  They seem to have a twitter bot that is search for the #nagios tag and then following anyone who mentions them.  I find this a pretty clever way to market to new customers.</p>
