		<title>On ushankas, balalaikas and international ignorance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know, when I first left my motherland, it struck me how much people&#8217;s ideas about Russia are ruled by Hollywood stereotypes (bears in ushankas drinking vodka on a Red Square accompanying themselves with balalaikas and garmoshkas — did I miss anything?). Bit later I realised this isn&#8217;t only Hollywood — e.g. episode 6, Skins, [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Ah, this is so un-Agile&#8221; or Agile People Still Don&#8217;t Get It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early in the development cycle, it’s perfectly acceptable to go for a policy of &#8220;zero bugs&#8221; and &#8220;100% tests&#8221;. But as the deadline looms, these choices need to be reconsidered all the time and evaluated while keeping a close eye of the final goal. Very often, Agilists simply forget that their job is to produce [...]]]></description>

		<title>Java Forever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;from creators of Javatar and .NOT&#8230; — Mom? I have a confession to make. I use Java. — What the hell are you talking about? — I want to use a programming language which doesn&#8217;t only run in Windows. My, this is so full of win! — Hey, what are you guys up to? — We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remote madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tried to assist my sister with filling in an online payment form to her summer college in London. I couldn&#8217;t make TeamViewer (which is great by all means) to work on my laptop (it just keeps failing and closing), so I had to make an SSH tunnel to my home iMac via my NAS, forward [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bodean&#8217;s BBQ: treating your customers fairly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing about dealing with clients, who pay you money and you give them something back instead — is that disasters happen. They really do, and this is a sort of a natural law to me — if they didn&#8217;t, the whole concept of customer service could become an abstract. But how would you deal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Fast Flip — have you seen it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t — and now it occurs to me it&#8217;s a nice way of browsing through news. Granted, it isn&#8217;t the most productive way if you need to find what&#8217;s going on in the world — quickly, but can certainly be used to kill some of that invaluable resource we all love to waste so [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to answer a question, without actually answering it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An absolutely brilliant bit which I came across on T-Mobile&#8217;s website: Can I use the internet on my phone or mobile broadband in Europe without buying a Booster? We have boosters to buy so that you&#8217;ll always know exactly how much you&#8217;ve spent and know that you won&#8217;t get any unexpected bills. Using the internet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easiest way to login to your home Mac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, there&#8217;re few prerequisites to this method: You should have a DMZ&#8217;ed (or accessible from outside world in some way) server running in your home network which you can SSH into. Your home Mac should be on (you can use etherwake command from within your network to wake it up first). As long as these [...]]]></description>
