		<title>Version control &#8211; the right tool!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember very clearly a few years back. My first introduction to version control. I thought &#8220;Wow! This CVS-thing is the most useful tool I&#8217;ll ever come across&#8221;. Some time went by and I worked on some projects where CVS was great! I mean &#8211; instead of swapping floppy disks or USB-drives around, manually synchronizing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Limited refactoring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When re-defining the default namespace for a project in VS2005 the properties/settings/resources will change namespace to the new default - but every place these values are refered the namespace reference will remain the same and there needs manual changing!]]></description>

		<title>Caching in browsers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day at work we ran into a problem with users updating to the newest version of our software. Our main program queries a server with the version number and receives an address from where the newest installer can be fetched. The program then launches a browser that downloads and runs (on the users [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eclipse and Android Development &#8211; Fixing GPS under DDMS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am currently working on an Google Android project that require the use of the Location Services &#8211; good thing the Eclipse plugin supports this! Running Eclipse in DDMS mode will enable a console where coordinates can be typed and sent to the debugger &#8211; very nifty. Except it didn&#8217;t work! During the first try, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Commit-policies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You use a version control system – of course you do! Personally I use Subversion (re-rolled from CVS) and no project is too small for version control imho. Both projects at work and at home go in a repository. Even the smallest amount of programming I do go in my repository, and I wouldn’t want [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scrapping the project&#8230; Sorry Google App Engine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have decided to put my filesharing project on a hold for now&#8230; The problem with the whole idea is that Google App Engine don&#8217;t allow me to handle data requests larger that 1 MB without going through the Blobstore interface. This would be now big problem for me except the fact that to use [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple fileshare service &#8211; proof of concept</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just concluded my proof of concept tests with Google App Engine (Java version) &#8211; and so far I&#8217;m happy! I am writing a simple file-sharing service &#8211; I tend to use the term &#8216;drop-box&#8217; a lot when explaining about it. The concept has now been proven (sending e-mails back and forth &#8211; log-in &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Surrogate Characters?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I/we ran into a problem at work. The file format that our software uses for saving and loading projects are basicly a ZIP-archive containing XML. We started noticing some strange error reports that all pointed in the direction of the save-method. This is one part of the program that have never really [...]]]></description>

		<title>The good thing about standards&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sadly the good thing about standards is that there are so many! Or to put it in other words: Silverlight &#8211; I don&#8217;t get what the fuzz is about! We already have applets (Java) and flash&#8230; To be honest &#8211; the only real reason to add another technology to the list of shockingly overlapping solutions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day (march 9th) FFXIII was released in europe. The game was first announced in 2006 which means it has been in development for at least 3-4 years.
