		<description><![CDATA[People generally like mementoes of places that they visit. It&#8217;s true. A generation earlier, this memento would have taken the form of some ghastly ceramic ornament to adorn some glass walled cabinet. Someone I know swears by fridge magnets. Me? I just buy tshirts. Not to pack them up in a drawer and keep them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my misspent childhood, I used to read Lucky Luke, the cowboy who could draw faster than his own shadow. In one comic, Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper (his horse, of course of course) accompany a stagecoach. Unfortunately every single meal served by the stagecoach consists of two things. Bacon and beans. Beans and bacon. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Or in Aussie terms, the teaspoons go walkabout. There are actually people who have studied the phenomenon of missing spoons. Their findings are  that within 5 months; it is 80% accurate to say that there is no spoon.
And probably of the macabre humour variety, Polonium is much in the news in these parts due [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, so all the things I&#8217;ve found funny recently are of geek interest. Sue me.
I&#8217;m coordinating a programming effort where we&#8217;re using Soap. No, not the detergent; but the &#8220;protocol for exchanging messages across a network&#8221;. We&#8217;re doing Soap over HTTP; which is a fancy way of saying that we&#8217;re sending XML messages over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Web services, Axis and parts inbetween. It&#8217;s all work related, folks&#8230; But whenever one searches for Axis on the web, a certain entry by Hani Suleiman (ancient historical reference) emerges prominently.
Of course, in the grand yak shaving tradition, I was then diverted into reading some of the Bileblog archives and discovered the following gem.

You know the standard excuses? I only read Playboy for the articles? How about a new one? I only watch Eurovision for the snarky voiceover [...]]]></description>

The email also invited (no, urged) all of us to test our own IQ online. Regardless of the dubious merits of an IQ test that is conducted online; it appears that this application had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made several references too many about the large amount of data that I need to crunch for my work. Well, here&#8217;s another &#8230; It&#8217;s contained in text files that are first bzipped and then tarred. Mere details, you might think&#8230; except that the tar file always refuses to decompress properly.
