		<title>building the linux kernel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must admit I have not built a vanilla Linux kernel in years, nor have I rebuilt any distribution kernels for ages either. The reason for this is that most things just works these days, however, I stumbled accross an wireless card which gives me horrible performance so I asked Google for advice. For this [...]]]></description>

		<title>You know what would be awesome?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine pointed out a sad but seemingly true thing about how standards come about. Instead of asking the question &#8220;How could we go about solving this problem?&#8221; it seems as if &#8220;It would be awesome if X!&#8221; is the start (or at least the continuation of) standards.]]></description>

		<title>Interpreting RFCs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To improve my HTTP knowledge I&#8217;ve once again read through the HTTP/1.1 (RFC2616) specification and just wanted to point out &#8220;how much fun it is&#8221;. From section 8.1.2.2: Clients SHOULD NOT pipeline requests using non-idempotent methods or non-idempotent sequences of methods (see section 9.1.2). And the reference to 9.1.2: Methods can also have the property [...]]]></description>

		<title>Random update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Been quite busy as usual, so thought it was time for an update. In real life I stumbled across an job opportunity at Norman working on the Norman Network Protection product. Have just been working there for a couple of weeks now but it is indeed very interesting! On the computer front Andreas packaged the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clean Code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just (actually, it&#8217;s been a while I just haven&#8217;t  finished this post) read the book &#8220;Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship&#8221; (ISBN-13: 978-0132350884) which was a good read. I especially enjoyed the chapter &#8220;Smells and Heuristics&#8221; which goes through most of the indications of unclean code discussed earlier in the book in [...]]]></description>

		<title>wallpaperd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine asked if it was possible to have different backgrounds on different desktops in pekwm, which it wasn&#8217;t as pekwm does not take care of setting the background. However, to solve this issue I&#8217;ve hacked up a small application during this week which is named wallpaperd. Wallpaperd is a simple daemon  listening for workspace [...]]]></description>

		<title>selinux mystery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SELinux seems to be one of the technologies available with great potential but with little or no user-acceptance. I have often ended up disabling the security features due to limited time reading up on, and then configuring the it to fit my needs. However I thought I should give the policies delivered with CentOS a go. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Certifications and grades</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Moving towards Java land I recently took a SCJP certification and got reminded about how hard it is to measure knowledge and skill.
