		<title>Karmic Koala rocks. Period.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As everyone and their dog knows Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was released today. I&#8217;ve been running Karmic on my Samsung NC10 Netbook since Alpha 2 and, with the exception of the small hiccup with Network Manager (Bug 427400) I&#8217;ve not had a single issue. It&#8217;s been rock solid now for over 4 months. Quite simply [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft Hatred is a Disease</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WARNING: Personal opinions abound &#8230;
After all the furor about Microsoft contributing 20,000 lines of code to Linux and Microsoft&#8217;s &#8220;Community Promise&#8221; regarding C#, a language I use professionally, I recently read this article and I have to agree with Linus, in particular &#8220;I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7, not bad but &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; I&#8217;m sticking with Ubuntu.
Recently I&#8217;ve been trying out Windows 7 RC on my Samsung NC10 netbook, mostly out of curiosity. I have to say after being unimpressed with Vista it&#8217;s not bad. It&#8217;s new taskbar reminds me a lot of KDE 4, Aero Peek, Aero Shake and Snap are quite nice and the fact [...]]]></description>

		<title>One year later &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One year ago, today, I started upon a journey. A journey which really opened my eyes to the true possibilities of the Open Source Desktop. I was a little apprehensive but determined. I had used Linux on servers for over a decade and played with various versions of Linux on the desktop but never really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Website now Mobile friendly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As previously blogged I surf the web a lot on my Nokia N95 and hate the fact most websites don&#8217;t include support for mobile web browsers. I also felt guilty because this very website was also commiting the same sin. But not any more. Courtesy of MobilePress plugin for WordPress this blog is now mobile [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slim Aluminum Apple Keyboard under Ubuntu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As previously blogged my wife bought me a Slim Aluminum Apple Keyboard which I&#8217;ve been slowly configuring to work with Ubuntu and now I believe I&#8217;ve gotten a sweet configuration, to the point where I&#8217;m now more comfortable with my Apple keyboard than the standard Dell keyboard I use at work.

Initially there were a couple [...]]]></description>
