		<title>Be creative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am looking for a name for a new site I plan to start: a blog about software testing. I want to take the best-practice-from-the-trenches approach, i.e. talk about real experiences, though I might add some theory here and there. Obviously I can’t talk about the company I work for. I’ll talk in a broader [...]]]></description>

		<title>This comes from that</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 

Saving the galaxy is hard work. Ignorant, whiny people cry for my help wherever I go. Sometimes, you have to roll the hard six. On my last trip, I let the rachni queen live, and the krogan. I played games with a self-aware console.
No more games. The council had to die to make [...]]]></description>

		<title>For A Little While</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m not easily impressed, and only very few shows have ever managed this, but besides the utterly unrealistic technology/science, the often confusing story lines and twists, and the sometimes mediocre acting, just imagining only half of what is shown in Dollhouse could some day really happen immensely creeps me out, and I actually had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Random Facts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Warm, semi-liquid chocolate cake is phenomenal.
&#8220;When you&#8217;re a fool in life and all hope is lost, friends will be friends&#8221;
Being a single is not the worst thing on earth. 
It is actually possible to live a fulfilled life without ever owning an iPhone.
When you as much as brush my skin with a semi-sharp object like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Handle With Care</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a week, my biorhythm has been running circles … around my head. 
I usually don’t swear a lot. Okay, that’s not true in the sense of … oh fuck it, I’ve been an annoying office mate these days. Complaining about everything, but then I still think there’s been a lot to complain about! Deutsche [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nothing to see, please move on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Still playing the Star Trek Online beta. Liking it a lot when it doesn’t crash, or is buggy, or laggy, or annoys with loading screens and unfinished content. No idea about the longevity, though. Will (at minimum) wait until the release rush is over and servers have stabilized. Also, MMOs need special consideration, they basically [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank You Demo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s been a while that I played a game demo. Tonight I tried Bayonetta and Dante’s Inferno on the PS3, and what can I say: Thank you, thank you for these demos, as they saved me a lot of money and brain cells. 
Bayonetta is everything I hate about Japanese action games. Yes, you may [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar 2 (now in 3D)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah well, no spoilers from me either. Just wanted to say: Go watch it. Yeah the bad guy is a tad bit overdone and the story feels kind of familiar and predictable, this one won’t win Best Director (well okay, Titanic won everything there was and I still don’t see the hell why, so who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No spoilers here, just a thought.
In this day and age, it is altogether rare that a movies&#8217; story and emotional resonance can match the level of the special effects. And Avatar is definitely one of those rare few.

		<title>Undeniable Indifference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Liberty City is a big, busy place. You walk down an alley, shoot at some passerby, who consequently run away screaming. You blow up a row of cars, po-leece turns up, you jack their car. The next day, you return to the same spot: New people, new cars, a never-ending supply of targets, which make [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dismissed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just noticed that half the Battlestar cast has re-appeared recently on Dollhouse (Tigh, Adama, Helo) and V (Tori) along with the usual suspects from the Whedonverse (most notably Alan Tudyk, of course). Tahmoh Penikett really was type-cast on Dollhouse (not the worst idea, though). Well, it was cancelled anyway. They’re gonna air the last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carol of the spells, and other stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dragon Age so far has failed to fully immerse me in its story. Maybe it’s too traditional for my liking, maybe it’s too talkative, I don’t know. A colleague says he had no trouble with the fights and has finished the main story in two days. Well, I find the fights very challenging and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Days, Three Cities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brussels was hectic, full and loud and parking cost a fortune.
 
Bruges was very … historic. No, honestly, Bruges is great: Okay, so you have seen old churches, old houses and old places before – haha, we’d just come from Brussels. But you haven’t seen a town which is so consistently old – err, historically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dependency injection? Object relational mapping? Delegates? Lambda expressions? Four reasons why I&#8217;ve become a tester rather than a developer. I get it, yes, but it&#8217;s so &#8230; dull. Maybe it&#8217;s more exciting if you actually use that stuff instead of having to read about it &#8230; on the other hand: equivalence classes, state transitions, pair-wise, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Expensive Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I, err, spent some money on Amazon. Let’s call it premature Christmas presents – for myself.
So yeah I got me Windows 7 (I’m an early adopter by nature) and I used the oppurtunity to clean up my PC. Changed my hard drive setup, switched to a RAID 1 to allow my two old, slow disks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Putting it to the test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Putting what to test? Apple customer service. My iPod died on me today. Now let&#8217;s see how long it takes them to fix it / send a new one / charge me. No I didn&#8217;t drop it, it just stopped working, won&#8217;t turn on anymore. Technology sucks.
So says Keanu Reeves in The Day The Earth [...]]]></description>

		<title>Face/Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tried the new version of Picasa, 3.5. It has a new feature: it finds and identifies faces in your photo libraries.
It even finds faces in paintings, in comics, on billboards in the background, on statues, when they are over or underexposed or blurred, or half-hidden behind another face or obstacle. Or in screen shots from [...]]]></description>

It doesn&#8217;t look as if Jumpgate Evolution would be released, or even reach open beta status, any time soon. We FS [...]]]></description>
