		<title>He&#8217;s Definitely Not Getting a Zonda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I want a 350Z&#8221;, Sanjev said to me. &#8220;Well, I want a Zonda&#8220;. We were discussing dreams for one reason or another while waiting for the phone-shop dude to finish sticking on a screen protector for me. It took him about fifteen minutes from start to end, which really built up my expectations. From the [...]]]></description>

		<title>SVNKit + Subclipse Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re experiencing difficulty getting Subclipse working with SVNKit, install the very latest. One of the dependencies pulled in will list an SVNKit beta. Install that one and it&#8217;ll suddenly show up as a provider.

This is true as of Eclipse Ganymede and Subclipse 1.6.2 (installed with CollabNet Desktop). Just thought to save someone else several [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Google Accounts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have several domains running Google Apps for Domains. I also have a GMail/Google account. I&#8217;ve always found it odd that I cannot link my kevin@kevinfrancis.net account to my Google account in some way.

It&#8217;s a bit funny to have to keep what appears to be multiple Google accounts sitting around&#8230; I wonder if OpenID will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox Scaling Zoom Kills Performance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m rather insistent about scaling zoom being set by default 120% of my copy of Firefox. I achieve this with the NoSquint plugin add-on. Of late I&#8217;d been noticing that Firefox page scrolling was really really really bad.

Turns out this is caused by scaling zoom &#8212; turn the default page zoom to 100% and performance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Safari 4 Scaling Zoom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, Safari has page scaling in the v4 Beta. Sadly though it appears to exhibit strange behaviour with GMail for instance &#8212; When I zoom in, it also scales the width of the entire page, which means I now have to scroll left and right :(

Now, whilst this may or may not be the best [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Case of Mistaken Identity; The Use of Corporate Email for Personal Messages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d been receiving what seemed like spam from the worlds most intelligent spam bot ever &#8212; I was getting invitations to baby showers, house warmings, company events and meetings. I started to feel like the bot was stalking me, like it was getting in my head.

Then someone named Karen Francis sent me this:

		<title>Make Your Band&#8217;s Album Cover Meme</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The meme has been going around, and here&#8217;s my take &#8212; click to embiggen :)



Make your band&#8217;s album cover meme:


Go to Wikipedie&#8217;s special random page. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
Go to Quotations Page&#8217;s random quotations page. The last four or five words of the very last quote [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Next Favourite Band</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Your Next Favourite Band is a service that ties into your Last.fm profile and attempts to predict what your next favourite band (duh) might be. I&#8217;ve run it a few times and it keeps saying the same thing: Jason Mraz. I really think they need to overhaul their algorithm because I dislike Jason Mraz.

		<title>Overall Impression of Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After using Windows 7 for 2 weeks I think I&#8217;ve got a pretty good feel for it. I haven&#8217;t wavered once in all this time, sticking closely to my goal of using Windows through and through.

It was not an ordeal. It was not painful. It is a definite improvement over XP/Vista. Will I switch to [...]]]></description>
