		<title>Using OpenOffice Base to bring a SQL table into a Spreadsheet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was rather simple, actually. The task at hand was bring down information from an iSeries database into a format I could use use on another system.

		<title>grep: unknown directories method</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thank you LornaJane for your post about &#8220;grep: unknown directories method.&#8221; This was making me crazy today.
This happens when you&#8217;re wildcarding and there&#8217;s a file in your directory that starts with a hyphen (&#8221;-&#8221;).  In my case it was -orders.php: someone had &#8220;saved off&#8221; copy of a file called orders.php. (People, this is why we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Javascript to Parse Credit Card Track 1 and/ or 2 Magnetic Stripe Read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Your mileage will vary based on what your hardware is configured to return. The simplest way to test is to swipe into your favorite text editor.

B9999999999999999^lastName/FirstName^yymm....
And like this for Track 2:
9999999999999999=yymm...
