		<title>Death by radix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is reinforcement of a programming trap I should avoid in future, and punishment for selecting poor test cases. It&#8217;s not a bug of epic proportions, so move along if you have better things to laugh at than a bug in my Daily WTF-candidate code. I threw together a simple booking calendar that uses [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beam &#8220;Slavery to Star trek&#8221; to Edinburgh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What use is my dormant blog if not for blegging? My friend Andreea Kindryd started doing stand-up comedy at age 68 and has recently started performing an amazing autobiographical show. After great reviews at the Adelaide Festival she has the chance to perform &#8220;Slavery to Star Trek&#8221; at the Edinburgh Festival this year, but she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Improved boot times: Vista vs Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it was Andrew who pointed me to Soluto as a method of improving boot times on Windows PCs. I have mentioned before that my Vista-running X61 tablet takes a while to boot. Soluto measured boot time at just over 10 minutes. I followed its advice, and through delaying and removing various crapware and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lenovo X61 Tablet three years later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post I had talked about the rate of decay and the usefulness of a fairly shiny new X61 tablet. Now three years later it&#8217;s time for a quick update on how it&#8217;s travelling. As you can see, the tablet is pretty much the same as it was at 3 months old. There [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blog moved!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After checking the PHP options and benchmarking hosting &#38; database speeds at spry.com&#8217;s dirt cheap hosting against options at the dirt cheap hosting I have at GoDaddy.com I decided to move Brainsnorkel to the garish world of GoDaddy. While moving I found a couple of things of interest. That the Freshy2 theme I use has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh strange new Internet that has such people in&#8217;t. The few very hasty blog posts in the last year is a clear indication to y&#8217;all that Brainsnorkel is barely registering in my consciousness. I don’t blog about work, and work is hard at the moment. Actually, home is hard too.  To make our house bigger, [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone 3GS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t review my new iPhone 3GS. Frankly, I haven&#8217;t used it enough. I&#8217;m still waiting for my old carrier to port my number so I can use it as something more than a very expensive iPod Touch. One of the first things I did after getting it was to sit down with a couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Battlestar Galactica: A great TV series ends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I recall very good TV series like Six Feet Under and The Wire I feel could go back and watch the final episode any time for a reminder of the quality of the series and the characters in it. Battlestar Galactica is an excellent TV series, but I think I&#8217;ll be watching the pilot [...]]]></description>
