		<title>Guake drop down terminal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using the drop down terminal Guake for some years now. It has become an indispensable tool that I cannot imagine being without. Today while working on some code I was asked what terminal program it is that I was using . The guy was very impressed after I explained it to him. Later I was taken [...]]]></description>

		<title>Xournal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the holiday I did some work on a small research project. Whilst passing proposals and drafts around  I discovered Xournal. Xournal allows you to annotate PDFs by drawing, typing or highlighting. Its really dandy for making notes while reading whatever you have in PDF. Xournal also saves back to PDF.]]></description>

		<title>My roof is leaky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Also my car. I&#8217;ve managed to move the leak in the roof by sticking some gladwrap to the ceiling. The rain now spills on the carpet instead of my desk. It&#8217;s mid November. Why is it raining? Climate change? Apparently that might me a lie. I read a somewhere that even if it is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Significant improvements in Ubuntu 9.10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently installed the beta version of the upcoming version of Ubuntu codenamed Karmic Kuala. The changes since 9.04 are somewhat subtle yet significant. Already in the beta you can feel the polish that went into it. Below, in no particular order, I shall rant about a few improvements that puts a smile on my [...]]]></description>

		<title>The future of Linux and ARM Processors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you talk about CPU&#8217;s most people think along the line of AMD/Intel. It&#8217;s understandable that most people have never heard of ARM processors. When you go into a PC store you don&#8217;t see boxes with stickers that read &#8220;ARM inside&#8221;. This is because they have never been a player in the PC market. ARM [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dog food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen our dogs eat their chunks. When their bowls are filled they gather around semi-excited with expectant looks, examine the bowl for about 2 seconds then walk away as if to say: &#8220;You bastard! How dare you feed me this crap!&#8221;. Later their bowls will be empty. It&#8217;s like by some unspoken [...]]]></description>

		<title>UCT parking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I managed to simultaneously avoid morning traffic and find relatively close off-campus parking all at the same time by waking up at 5am, driving to varsity and sleeping in my car till class started. I look back now in disbelief. It is beyond my comprehension how I managed to get my ass out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took me roughly an hour to get from Canary Wharf to Heathrow via the London Underground. It was a rather unpleasant experience having to lug my 24kg bag all the way to the station, and then from one jam packed carriage to the next. The sardines were not to impressed with me attempting this [...]]]></description>
