		<title>Restoring Ubuntu 10.4&#8242;s Bootloader, after a Windows 7 Install</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I installed Windows 7 after I had installed Ubuntu 10.4. Windows 7 overwrote the Linux bootloader &#8220;grub&#8221; on my master boot record. Therefore I had to restore it. I used the Ubuntu 10.4 LiveCD to start up a live version of Ubuntu. While under the LiveCD, I then restored the Grub bootloader by chrooting into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been thinking about making a Flash game or application.

		<title>How to remove nano, vim and other editors&#8217; backup files out of a directory tree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Linux command-line editors such as nano and vim often, by default, create backup files with the prefix of &#8220;~&#8221;. I.e, if I created a file called /home/david/myfile, then nano would create a backup in /home/david/myfile~. Sometimes it doesn&#8217;t delete them either, so you&#8217;re left with a bunch of backup files all over the place, especially [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s helpful to know the basic filesystem on a Linux machine, to better understand where everything is supposed to go, and where you should start looking if you want to find a certain file. Everything in Linux is stored in the &#8220;root directory&#8221;. On a windows machine, that would be equivalent to C:\. C:\ is [...]]]></description>
