		<title>Google fools around with iGoogle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Between one refresh and the next Google decided to alter my iGoogle page. Fortunately it came with some explanation. The tabs on the top have been replaced by a navigation bar on the right. According to the information page, reading the news and chatting with your friends had a visual makeover as well. Some newsfeeds [...]]]></description>

		<title>Missed the HOPE convention? Listen to the audio recordings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From July 18th till 20th 2008 the seventh Hackers of Planet Earth conference was held in New York City. These conferences are sponsored by 2600 The hacker Quarterly. For those who missed the conference, or couldn&#8217;t attend it, the audiorecordings of the talks are online, all in MP3 format, both in 16 kpbs and 64 [...]]]></description>

		<title>EU sells out civil rights to USA?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently the war on terror is all the excuse a government needs to put the civil rights of it&#8217;s citizens out with the trash. The Guardian reports about a secret EU security draft that contains:

the sharing of vast amounts of intelligence and informations on EU citizens with the USA
pool intelligence on terrorism, develop joint video-surveillance [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Knowledge is power. Hide it well&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite games is Warhammer 40.000. I prefer it over Command &#38; Conquer since Warhammer forces you to think about the units you build up and puts a cap on the amount of units you can build. And a gung-ho attack usually doesn&#8217;t work. Anyway, the saying: &#8220;Knowledge is power. Hide it well&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to Basics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One derives many benefits from a holiday. A simple true-ism, of course, and not really the greatest of insights. I use my holidays not only to relax and spend some quality time with Agnes, but also to stand back from the day-to-day developments and activities. For one, I started reading about non-IT related, non-open source, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Xubuntu + BeOS like theme + Remastersys = PC/OS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This must have been the briefest test run a Linux distribution had on my box. Frankly, when I noticed GRUB on the CD it already was out of the window. For good measure I continued until the live desktop, only to confirm the massive suspicion I had. This is yet another remaster posing as something [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should Mandriva 2009 use the new KDE Kickoff menu or the classical menu?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mandriva 2009.0 installs KDE4 with the classical KDE menu, a decision I can only applaud.  It isn&#8217;t decided yet whether this decision will stand until the final version. The Mandriva Community seems to be running into a tie, as the votes for either the new Kickoff menu or the Classical menu are virtually equal. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The first few days on Mandriva 2009.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the first few days (and couple of hundred updates) under the belt I can say a little bit more about my first impressions with the Alpha 2 release of Mandriva 2009. I started last Sunday and have been using it pretty much as the default since. You can actually forget that this release is [...]]]></description>

		<title>When &#8217;supported&#8217; doesn&#8217;t equal &#8216;fully functional&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As your experience in Linux grows, you learn one thing: don&#8217;t buy new hardware or peripherals without checking whether it&#8217;s supported by your favorite distribution. It saves both money and disappointments. I wanted to buy a decent mediaplayer. To be honest, I am kind of cheap. I don&#8217;t feel the need to buy the latest [...]]]></description>
