		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re a mac user and frequently use the terminal, then you should probably have a look at iTerm2. &#8220;Its focus is on performance, internationalization, and supporting innovative features that make your life better.&#8221; Amongst its many features, I love the ability to slit a pane horizontally or vertically. (Command-Shift-D or d) It&#8217;s great being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Watirgrid and Gridinit on Watir Podcast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the title implies, I get to spend 15 minutes talking about Watirgrid and Gridinit on the Watir podcast. This family of tools lets you easily distribute watir test cases onto a grid network, the latter being a commercial implementation on EC2 of the former. I&#8217;ll be posting more about Gridinit soon as we enter [...]]]></description>

		<title>WatirGrid 1.0.6 released &#8230; can haz Selenium?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just released WatirGrid 1.0.6 which now includes support for Selenium WebDriver&#8230; So can I really call it WatirGrid anymore?
