		<description><![CDATA[So my dad tends to have a lot of really dumb computer problems that are either caused by him or some random virus/malware that he somehow manages to get on his system. And of course, I get to be &#8216;Mr. Helpdesk&#8217; and help him fix them (sometimes), even though I&#8217;m 900 miles always from him. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve become a fan of the obsidian theme for notepad++ (even though I know it comes from other locations as well), because I feel like the theme is a lot easier on my eyes. So I&#8217;ve had to start using Visual Studio a bit more lately, and I adjusted the fonts/colors to match the notepad++ [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gave a presentation at work about Boost.Asio, and it came out reasonably well, so I figured I would post the slides here. Its a brief introduction to Asio and what one might use it for. Also has some basic concepts and patterns one might use while programming with Asio. Aimed for a technical audience, [...]]]></description>

Apparently Microsoft made a disk editor thing called &#8216;Disk Probe&#8217;, which came in the NT Resource Kit. I had found it available to download standalone a really long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ubuntu just released the Beta for Karmic a few days ago, so I figured that I would give it a whirl on my desktop now that I&#8217;ve switched to using Linux on my desktop fulltime. So far, I&#8217;m very happy about this upgrade, hopefully they don&#8217;t screw it up before release. :p My first impression [...]]]></description>

From the README: Congratulations! You have in your hands the MOST BRILLIANTEST C++ XML CREATION LIBRARY EVER CREATED. ... And you no longer have to [...]]]></description>
