		<title>Choosing a &#8220;Critical Services&#8221; provider &#8211; checklist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been itching to tackle this subject for so long, but time is hard to find these days!  This isn&#8217;t purely a marketing blog here, RackCorp offers international services in LOTS of countries(20+ now), and quite often it&#8217;s not cost beneficial to our customers to have a fully decked out presence in some locations, so [...]]]></description>

		<title>nginx ncache performance and stability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BACKGROUND: We&#8217;ve been running nginx successfully for a long long time now without issue.  We were really pleased with it, and migrated all of our CDN servers across to using it several months ago.  While there were a few little configuration defaults that didn&#8217;t play too nicely, we ironed out the problems within a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently found several of our CDN servers suddenly experiencing 10-20% network packet loss &#8211; OUCH!.  The loss would not be constant, but would happen more frequently at some times of the day than others.  No other servers on the same networks were being affected &#8211; only the CDN boxes.
One of the syptoms we soon [...]]]></description>

		<title>PHP Parse XML from mysql</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today we were looking at migrating data from one database to another and thought that we&#8217;d try out Mysql command line XML output format.  The format is fairly simple, so we decided we&#8217;d run with it instead of CSV.  To parse the XML file, we use PHP, and soon discovered there&#8217;s no real [...]]]></description>

		<title>graft: Install and Configure package management</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Graft is a great little tool for package management on UNIX systems such as Linux.  The tool itself allows you to keep a package isolated in it&#8217;s own directory, and uses symlinks to combine them in with the rest of the operating system.

		<title>nginx error &#8211; upstream sent too big header</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently decided to test nginx with our CDN.  It seems that lighttpd just isn&#8217;t up the the task of serving high-connection rate services.  It was grinding to a halt on our systems as they started processing 400 &#8211; 600 connections per second.  We ended up running multiple lighttpd&#8217;s on single servers to alleviate this [...]]]></description>
