		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday morning, someone posted a comment on a post I wrote at the blog of the company I work for. This person, named &#8216;Tom&#8217;, said that our site was filled with lies, and that we had false advertising all over the place.

This field wasn&#8217;t required, but I needed to limit the amount of characters a user could enter in that string. So I did the proper thing and set this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I noticed that whenever using some of the Prototype Helpers in Rails (such as link_to_remote or remote_function), it was setting by default the evalScripts parameter to true. For those who don&#8217;t know, Prototype uses evalScripts to evaluate anything in &#60;script&#62; tags from the response text. This was giving me major headaches in a piece [...]]]></description>
