      <description><![CDATA[Like many of my peers, I believe that the so-called “War on Drugs” that the United States along with many other countries is engaged in, is ridiculous.

      <description><![CDATA[I know I haven’t posted anything in forever. I mean well! I’m working on an article outlining an introduction to encryption with GPG, as well as my own thoughts about all the NoSQL hoopla currently going on.
But for now, I’ve built RPM packages for MongoDB 1.4.0 for CentOS 5 systems to my Yum repository. Both [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Chrisleacom/~4/9iwlcLdTI8o" height="1" width="1" />]]></description>

      <link>http://thechris.org/posts/text/8253767</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I’ve built RPM packages for MongoDB 1.2.2 that are native to RHEL5 / CentOS5 systems. They’re in my Yum repository now. Note that I’ve also built newer packages for the Boost libraries because Mongo likes newer versions than the ones bundled with the distro. Packages are available for i386 as well as x86_64, and there [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Chrisleacom/~4/ZDxnjrOJyww" height="1" width="1" />]]></description>
