		<title>PlayLegions.com - Strategic FPS Tutorial and Timetrails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fallen Empire: Legions is a strategic FPS+Z shooter, the spiritual successor to the Starsiege: Tribes series, and a blast to play.
Although the full game is (at least currently) located at instantaction.com, the new playlegions.com site offers a brief single player tutorial, in a very Portal'esque fashion to teach basic movement skills, which are all but; [...]]]></description>

		<title>NBC17 News engages audience with Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In what may be a TV station's first, NBC17 is using Twitter to gather feedback from the local community in the greater Raleigh, NC area. I was fortunate enough to be included in this experiment, although I was unaware how my tweets were going to be used.
@MyNC, mync.com's twitter presence, asked about pay as you [...]]]></description>

		<title>HP Mini 1000 - Where is the VGA Adapter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been eying netbooks for a while now. In particular, the HP Mini 1000 seems to be a good candidate. I've seen it in person and I like it. It has a decent keyboard, full size right-hand shift key, it's pretty to look at, and the price is about right. But there's one thing stopping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Logging in users via Zend_Auth without Sessions in PHP / Zend Framework</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While sessions come in handy for many things, I like to avoid them for the sake of scalability. PHP itself uses a shared-nothing architecture, with only sessions needing special treatment.
Once you've got more than one web server, your options are to either use a custom session handler, a load balancer with IP affinity, the commercial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Replacing Legions&#039; Jetpack sound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sound effects can make or break a game. I played around with replacing the Legions jetpack sound, and the results are actually quite aweful and disturbing.
Test 1 of 4

Test 2 of 4

Test 3 of 4

Test 4 of 4

So, how would it hold up if were to replace that sound with, say, the Hampster Dance, Bananaphone, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Legions Flag Chase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I decided to have fraps run in the background to see if I can't capture a few decent moments of me playing Legions.
I got lucky and managed to get a decent last-second shot on Ultima112. The rocket jumping was horrible though, and I had a bad feeling about it right as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zend Framework and JQuery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been using Zend Framework v1.7.0PR to take advantage of the new JQuery support, which can be found under the ZendX (Zend Extras) directory. ZendX_JQuery is a great starting point and makes using JQuery in Zend Framework based applications quick and intuitive.
The ZendX_JQuery component helps set up the JQuery environment, and supports using Google's CDN [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dirty Rows and Audit Trails with Zend_Db_Table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are various ways to update rows in a database table using the Zend_Db_Table components. You can use use Zend_Db_Table::update(), like so:

$table = My_Table();
$table-&#62;update(array('age' => 22), 'id = 1');

or retrieve the row, and update it:

$table = My_Table();
$row = $table-&#62;find(1)-&#62;current();
$row-&#62;age = 22;
$row-&#62;save();

The big difference between the two approaches is that by first retrieving the row, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zend_Db: Setting MySQL&#039;s timezone per connection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a Linux server with a system timezone of ET (US/Eastern). But I also have a web application that needs to run in a timezone of PT (US/Pacific). Of course that's not a problem at all. I just set the timezone in my web application's bootstrap:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); // Pacific timezone

Now I have another problem; the [...]]]></description>
