		<title>BLOBs, Synonyms, and DBD::Oracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[INSERTing, UPDATEing, and SELECTing LOBs (CLOB/BLOB) in Oracle using Perl can be a PITA.  Case in point: 2 years ago a fellow coworker ended up writing some extremely complex code using ora_lob_write(), etc, when all he really needed to do was use bind_param() and declare that the blob column is a blob so that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Generating Constants in Perl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day @ $work I was throwing together a module that creates constants based on a fairly static table in the database.  Of course I didn&#8217;t want to hard code the contants, I wanted them to be magically created by what was in the database.  For the sake of this example I [...]]]></description>

This will be my first time doing any sort of talk at a YAPC.  I&#8217;ve been wanting to do this for years and I am very grateful that the organizers of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apache Cassandra and the Thrift API on CPAN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently playing around with a project that uses Apache Cassandra.  The Cassandra website states:
&#8220;The Apache Cassandra Project develops a highly scalable second-generation distributed database, bringing together  Dynamo&#8217;s fully distributed design and Bigtable&#8217;s ColumnFamily-based data model.&#8221;
So, from what I&#8217;ve experienced so far this is either a distributed Berkely DB, or a persistent Memcached, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robust DBI Transaction and Connection Handling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Edit: It turns out there is already a module on CPAN that does exactly what I talked about here.  Its called DBIx::Connector.  I haven&#8217;t tried it yet, but it looks like the guy that wrote it designed it with input from the DBIC guys.
I&#8217;m a big fan of DBIx::Class.  Among DBIC&#8217;s many [...]]]></description>

		<title>use HTML::FormHandler;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to give HTML::FormHandler a try for quite some time now.  Over the weekend I converted a form from some home-grown form validation and html generation to use HTML::FormHandler instead.  HTML::FormHandler was inspired by, and quasi-forked from, Form::Processor.  There are many options for processing forms, such as FormValidator::Simple (Catalyst&#8217;s default) [...]]]></description>

		<title>IE8, another screwed up version.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was really hoping that Internet Explorer version 8 (IE8) would finally be the version of IE where Microsoft stepped up to the plate and produced a fast browser, with few bugs, less Microsoft-only features, and a good and modern UI.
I&#8217;m the kind of guy that holds judgment for a very long time, sometimes too [...]]]></description>
