		<title>Making Archlinux&#8217;s pacman go faster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a while pacman-operations on my computer started getting really slow. To optimize the database and make pacman go quick again, there&#8217;s the aptly named &#8220;pacman-optimize&#8221; which will try to put all the small files in one physical place on your harddrive. For me on ext3 it made a world of difference.
Also, to remove old [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strange kernel panics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t remember when it started, but every now and then when I got back at the computer after leaving it on for several hours, the keyboard-leds would blink and the computer would not respond to anything &#8211; in other words a kernel panic. The problem was nothing got written to any logfiles, so debugging [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making /tmp your own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I wrote about keeping /tmp contents survive reboots, I really wanted to make *my* stuff survive reboots. TMPDIR to the rescue &#8211; adding &#8220;export TMPDIR=~/tmp&#8221; to the envfile gives me a private tmp dir, and programs like okular with temporary documents will now be able to open that tmp-doc after a reboot.

		<title>Wierd errors when running Nagios3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While setting up Nagios3 I got this error: (Return code of 127 is out of bounds &#8211; plugin may be missing). I couldn&#8217;t understand what it was because I could run check_nrpe manually from the CLI and other plugins (link check_ping) worked fine. After a lot of looking around it turns out (atleast in Gentoo) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping /tmp contents between boots on Arch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although dependancy on /tmp is a bad idea, I still want to be able to recover things like OpenOffice and Okular files between boots. You could probably set up where these programs do temporary storage, but this is quicker; open up /etc/rc.inittab anddelete the line &#8220;/bin/rm -rf /tmp/* &#8230;&#8221;.
This works, however old stuff is now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Migrating from KDE3.5 to KDE4.2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, it is possible to just copy your old .kde dir to .kde4. Some things didn&#8217;t work for me and anyway it&#8217;s a good opportunity to do some housecleaning, so I decided to try and import data instead (and keep the old .kde3 dir in case I need it later).
Konqueror: import bookmarks from 4.2 works [...]]]></description>

For a good review of the new things I recommend KDE 4.2 Review From Inside Out. Part 1 and Part 2. And here&#8217;s a good overview of the new desktop effects. [...]]]></description>
