		<title>Mood-enhancing earphones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got these excellent Sennheiser headphones and I realized they have another feature in addition to great sound quality - they enhance your mood! The cable is kind of short, and if I have them connected to my (docked) laptop, my head gets yanked each time I reach for something. If I am in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zen To Done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Zen Habits is an excellent productivity-and-lot-more blog by Leo Babauta. Well, maybe you should not use &#8220;lot more&#8221; when talking about something &#8220;zen&#8221;, but sometimes less is more. Or more is less? Anyway, he collected his posts about a simplified version (is simple less or more?) of Get Things Done (and more) and you can [...]]]></description>

		<title>SphinxSearch Extension for MediaWiki</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While helping maintain the New World Encyclopedia, I tried to install the LuceneSearch extension to replace the default MySQL-full-text-based search used by MediaWiki. Since our server did not come with any pre-requisites necessary for compiling and running Java applications, I spent quite some time on it, and still did not get it to work.
All of [...]]]></description>

		<title>How we increased the national talk-time average</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, our pastor mentioned that an average couple talks only 4 minutes per day. I tried to find that statistic on the Internet and found even worse numbers - some studies apparently indicate that married couples spend only 6 minutes per week in a serious discussion. I decided to put a stop to that and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last.fm at last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Signed up for last.fm few days ago. Their programmers contributed some code to memcached, one thing led to another, and now the whole world can know what I am listening. As I listen, tag, love or ban my music, last.fm&#8217;s software keeps track and after a while starts offering recommendations. Neat!
