		<title>A small WPF project management application</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They say the best way to learn something new is to jump in head first and just do it. Don’t ask me who “they” are but apparently, that’s what they say. One of my goals last year was to teach myself the WPF framework. I’ve been playing around with it on off for most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>So what happened to those 2009 goals?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost a year ago, I risked public ridicule by my friends and family and published my goals for 2009. I had hoped to track progress on all of them on this blog but that did not work out so well. Luckily I did not have “blog more frequently” as one of my goals.
Looking back at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beginning Development with Silverlight 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Half way into 2009 and I’m already finding my New Years resolutions tough to keep. I’ve hardly touched typingweb, Symbian looks like a non starter and I would be lucky if I could memorise a grocery list much less half a deck of cards. But the one goal which has been right on track is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Blogs I follow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January, I talked about the goals I wished to accomplish in 2009.&#160; I’ve been following a&#160; number of blogs to help me reach those goals. But the sheer number of useful sites I found made it impossible to visit them every day. So I decided to use a RSS aggregator. At first I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New look and a New host</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I decided to make two radical changes to my blog.

Create a new a new theme and in the process learn something about CSS and web design.
Move my blog from the free wordpress.com hosting site and onto a paid host and in the process learn something about website hosting.

The result is the site you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installing Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vista’s not that Bad
I must admit that I was taken in by all the negative press surrounding Windows Vista. So when my company decided to upgrade my laptop OS to Vista, I tried everything humanely possible to try and stay on Windows XP. But they wouldn’t budge. And so,&#160; with great trepidation I started using [...]]]></description>

		<title>Increasing my Touch-Typing Speed &#8211; Kickoff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Technorati Tags: Touch Typing
I must confess, I started learning to touch-type sometime in November 2008. But I had fallen off the wagon at the beginning of January. To compensate and motivate myself to keep at it, I decided to make this one of my top goals for 2009. 
As I mentioned in my earlier post, [...]]]></description>

The Importance of Setting Goals
One of the last tasks in my final year at university was to create my 1 year, 5 year and 10 year goals. We had an entire course on life skills and&#160; goal setting. I remember the lecturer drumming into our heads&#160; that goals had to be created [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technorati Tags: Nokia E71
Its that time in the life of my phone contract when I start to think about what phone to upgrade to. In the past I would start looking at whatever new Nokia phones and pick the ones that had all or most of the features I want.

		<title>Blogging can be frustrating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my quest to start the new year by blogging more frequently, I decided to change the look and feel of this blog. 
What I did not count on was messing up the formatting of my previous posts. I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to get it back to the way [...]]]></description>
