		<title>Gnome Power Manager Hides Do Nothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found this rather handy post that tells you what to do in newer versions of Gnome Power Manager, which for some reason hide the Do Nothing options as default.
Personally I find it irritating as the battery readout in all the distros of Linux I&#8217;ve used on my Eee report the battery at 0% over half [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing BitButcher — An Open-Source NDS ROM Trimmer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always wanted to make a software headline like that.  Eee!
Welcome to BitButcher, a small program designed to do one thing and one thing well: trim Nintendo DS ROMs.
I got a bit fed up of the ones already out there, most because they were either closed-source or they had bad GUI design combined with clashing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take Control of Your Settings —  Configuring Synaptics Touchpads and Making GNOME Respect Them</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Problem
Today I&#8217;ve been trying to configure the touchpad on my Eee PC 901 to my liking.  It&#8217;s a Synaptics touchpad, and supports tracking multiple fingers, and I wanted to take more advantage of that.
GNOME does have support for configuring multiple finger gestures out of the box, with gnome-mouse-properties (or System » Preferences » Mouse) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop Exact Audio Copy Crashing on Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I tried to rip a disc using Exact Audio Copy on Windows 7 x64, I found it kept crashing as soon as the rip tried to start.  Bummer.
Remembering the previous times I&#8217;ve used EAC, when you click a button to start a rip, it asks you where you want to save the ripped files.
Turns [...]]]></description>

		<title>Delete Songs From Smart Playlists in iTunes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update 2009-11-23: Corrected Mac keyboard keys.  I don&#8217;t own a Mac myself, but a friend of mine tells me that iTunes defies the normal behaviour of many other Apple applications. Probably because it&#8217;s ancient and desperately needs an update.
Made a smart playlist to find songs you want to delete, then found that the delete function [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pinch to Zoom?  Nah, I&#8217;m Fine, Thanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is this generation's obsession with pinch to zoom?  It's so often touted as "natural", "intuitive", and "cool" that it's beginning to make me go insane!  Yes, it might be cool, but have the people who say these things even thought implications of both what they say and the use of such an interface?]]></description>

		<title>A Word of Warning: Check Your Windows 7 Backup Settings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Backups in Windows 7 have been greatly improved, what with the fact you can restore from them (without needing to take a separate backup) and that they backup to networks better.
However, there has been one change which caught me out, thanks to a subtle and ambiguous rewording of the backups dialog.
When backups are taken, as [...]]]></description>

Basically nothing changes, but I just like to be comprehensive.
