		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of work with awk, and I&#8217;ve been really impressed with all of the features available in its programming language. This got me to thinking about what kind of programs one could write in awk, that go beyond just text manipulation. So, I decided to see if I could implement [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So in an attempt to keep my coding skills sharp, I&#8217;ve been making my way through some of Facebook&#8217;s Engineering Puzzles. In particular, one puzzle that I found especially interesting was the &#8216;Gattaca&#8217; problem, and so I thought I&#8217;d share my solution to the problem here. The first thing to notice about the problem is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction So, I recently became addicted to an online game called Boggle Bash, which is pretty much the original Boggle with a couple of twists thrown in. Although I&#8217;d been playing it for a couple weeks, at the very outset I had an overwhelming urge to build a program to &#8216;assist&#8217; me in playing Boggle [...]]]></description>

So, for a bit of a refresher course, I picked up Dan Gookin&#8217;s Programmer&#8217;s Guide to nCurses (note this book covers the C API, not the python API). I [...]]]></description>
