		<description><![CDATA[I love Selenium. It&#8217;s a great tool, that does a damn fine job. But one thing I&#8217;ve been wanting to do for a while is to get it to use a different DNS server to the box it&#8217;s running on.
Here&#8217;s how you do it: 
java -Dsun.net.spi.nameservice.provider.1=dns,sun -Dsun.net.spi.nameservice.nameservers= -jar selenium-server.jar
(Caveat: may not work on non-Sun JVMs. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw an an article on Seth Godin&#8217;s blog about positive thinking. Godin makes the valid point that people who think positively tend to succeed more, in part because their confidence means they don&#8217;t second-guess themselves. You can easily waste a lot of energy debating what to do.
A point that Seth didn&#8217;t cover is that positive [...]]]></description>

I like the last org model shown; it would be very interesting to work in a company structured in such a fashion, with middle management acting as guides &#38; facilitators, instead of intermediates, filters and superiors.

The good:

non cluttered UI.

		<description><![CDATA[In two words: pretty neat.

Once I managed to get the thing installed, using it was pretty easy. All I could take advantage of was the FishEye and JIRA integration (we don&#8217;t use Bamboo or Crucible at Wotif), but these were a good sample.
The JIRA integration is a more-polished version of the standalone JIRA Mylyn plugin. [...]]]></description>

Well, I&#8217;ve looked at the M2Eclipse plugin, and decided it&#8217;s still not suitable for my personal working style.
