		<title>Sushi and compact camera musings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Raw fish: om nom nom! I have had my Canon S90 for nearly a year! Quite hard to believe - in fact Canon has already announced an update is due out soon (S95).

		<title>SWI-Prolog has a sense of humor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Deep Thought jokes just never get old! SWI-Prolog, when asked an open-ended question for which no rules are defined, answers like so: ?- A. % ... 1,000,000 ............ 10,000,000 years later % %       &#62;&#62; 42 &#60;&#60; (last release gives the question) ?- That's just awesome Reminded me that I haven't (re)read HHGG in recent years [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nikon does fashion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some random backstage and runway shots from Africa Fashion Week, taken last Thursday - Shot with a Nikon D700 and a selection of fines Nikkors: 14-24/2.8, 24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8 VR2, 105/2.8 VR. If I had to pick a favorite lens it would definitely be the 14-24/2.8, with the 105/2.8 VR Micro-Nikkor coming a close second. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canon PowerShot S90</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've had a Canon S90 for a couple of months already and in that short time have already managed some really nice shots. It's barely larger than a candybar cellphone and the picture quality beats anything I've seen from a similar-sized cameras. I always felt the G10 is a touch too big to carry at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows, NVIDIA, and oversaturated colours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a recent power dip, I had to reboot my machine and the colours went completely crazy. I have an HP 2475w wide-gamut monitor which can produce some seriously "dayglo" colours - e.g. the orange in the Firefox icon became an eye-searing hypersaturated red. Since my PC is on 24/7 for long intervals at a [...]]]></description>
