		<description><![CDATA[So we have this new cordless phone in the house. The venerable and much abused unit packed it in. In retrospect, a cordless phone packing it in is unsurprising. No one in my residence is actually going to make it into a cricket team (or indeed, any sports team). Of course, in our mind; we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To the outsider who hasn&#8217;t bothered to find out anything about the country, it seems that India is this scary place which only eats rabbit food. To some extent, this is true. There are lots of vegetarian restaurants. In fact, in the unlikely event that I wanted to become a rabbit food eater myself; there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, why am I away from Colombo? Because the client that I&#8217;m meeting thought that Sri Lanka was too dangerous to visit. In retrospect, I don&#8217;t blame the client. Random bus bombings tend to make anyone nervous, hell they make me nervous.
Which makes the news of a serial killer in the vicinity of the hotel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As hinted earlier, I&#8217;ve been shunted to that large country up north. Having spent approximately a week here, I&#8217;m now qualified to make the following observations.

Conference rooms across the world look pretty similar
The streets (as seen from the interior of a thankfully airconditioned vehicle) look pretty darn dusty.
These Chennai drivers are completely and utterly insane [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I work for a company which has offices in other countries. Since most of the business is provided by people writing software for companies outside Sri Lanka; there is a reasonable amount of travel involved.
As is usual, people have a wide spectrum of reactions to being sent onsite.

I am currently suffering from acute brain hurt after reading tons of incomprehensible spec sheets (Web Services, WS-Addressing and WS-Policy among many others).
It&#8217;s fun stuff. As in grad school, I start with a [...]]]></description>

The place has a dress code. It has rules. Regulations. And one of the most invasive HR document piles that I have ever seen. They also win the prize for the most corporate-marketing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life takes on a fairly surreal quality whenever I visit Sri Lanka. The first few weeks and months are a long series of meeting folks (some of whom didn&#8217;t know I was back in town, because I&#8217;m fairly pathetic at keeping in touch with people). 
After the first month or so, I&#8217;ve met most of [...]]]></description>
