Someone please interpret this frightening insanely cryptic Sharepoint/Word warning when I try to save my document! No one else is editing it, I have the only checkout!

		<title>Getting editing to work in msysgit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love the flexibilty that git provides, and the way it fits into distributed development.  That&#8217;s the only reason I&#8217;ve been able to tolerate the hackery that is known as msysgit, the &#8220;official&#8221; Git release for Windows. msysgit basically dumps an entire linux distribution on your Windows box when you install &#8211; ported versions of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amarok enjoys hazing you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ampache is basically a webservice that will remotely serve up the media on your mediacenter. This is a fundamental component of my long-term plans for world domination (or rather world subterfugation). You can play your music (yes, ALL of your music) through a browser once you have ampache set up. It&#8217;s a typical LAMP setup [...]]]></description>

		<title>MythTV video hangs at &#8220;Please wait&#8230;&#8221;: SOLVED</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been fighting with MythTV, trying to get it to play my videos for over a month. I have played with my MythTV compilation settings, tried turning off OpenGL, changing the video profile to &#8220;Slim&#8221;, recompiling my ATI video drivers, and messing with my X configuration. I finally solved it by deleting the installation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gentoo daily pain: samba</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gentoo has been messing with samba packages (again). I guess we are supposed to use just samba now, no more samba-server, samba-client, mount-cifs, blah blah blah. OK, fine. I switched over one machine and everything fell apart. Why? Apparently when you remove mount-cifs (which properly blocks the samba upgrade), YOUR SAMBA USERS GET WIPED OUT. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s gentoo blues: xorg needs recompile after adding evdev</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve discussed hal and dbus and how to get xorg going with them before. Today&#8217;s problem: the desktop machine needed [INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"] in make.conf, and after adding it, you have to recompile xorg-server. Until I did that, I had the straightjacket joy of no-keyboard-mouse-response. The devil is always in the details.]]></description>

		<title>Kicking the tires of the Recess RESTful PHP toolkit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This toolkit was written by a guy down the road over in Chapel Hill, it seems. The idea seems to be to generate and configure MVC-structured PHP code with RESTful web access. Supports multiple apps with one installation. Works for me. I grabbed the 0.20 release. It comes with a web-based front end that will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Troubleshooting Apache mod_rewrite</title>

Here are the steps I went through to troubleshoot my installation: Ensure you included mod_rewrite in your apache installation. For gentoo, you can use [eix www-servers/apache] &#8211; Gentoo&#8217;s apache2_modules_rewrite flag is enabled for apache, looks good. Test to see if it is being loaded. [...]]]></description>

		<title>gentoo jpeg build missing 6.2 dep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: I&#8217;ve needed this exact version of jpeg on other machines as well.  Looks like emacs is requiring an older package (v6) that gets removed when the newer package (v8) is installed.  Follow the instructions below to get the old version, which fixes emacs et al. Somehow all of a sudden I&#8217;m missing the 64-bit [...]]]></description>
