		<description><![CDATA[So one of the things that showed up in the bundle of mail I received on the weekend was the annual statement from my Superannuation fund. In Australia there is a compulsory scheme, where part of your salary is stuffed into a super fund, locked away until you retire (or die). This has made a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok. More adventures with open source. One of the things I&#8217;ve got on my (lengthy) list at the moment is to have a look at some light(er) weight servlet and J2EE containers. JBoss is giving me hives. You may be aware of that, I&#8217;ve mentioned it before. So the first one I wanted to look [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I packed it all up, I had a workshop habit that I suspect other makers of sawdust shared. Before embarking on any work, I would spend some time cleaning up the workshop area. I would make sure the bench was clean and clear, sweep the floor, check that tools were sharp and sharpen them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You wait forever, and then two turn up at the same time. Which is what happened with job offers on Friday. In a couple of days time, when contracts have been signed, I&#8217;ll tell you which two companies, and why I chose one over the other, but suffice it to say that I found myself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A too frequent question over the past couple of weeks has been &#8220;what characterises Agile development for you?&#8221;, or some variant on that. Thinking about it this evening, I am struck by how much stuff has accumulated around what is a very simple, elegant manifesto. Go look at the WikiPedia article to see how much [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone, probably William Gibson speaking through Cayce Pollard, wrote about the Mirror World of travel. The notion that it is not the big differences that lend to a sense of unease, but the myriad small and barely noticeable differences. Like the shape of electrical outlets. An odd one for us, that we&#8217;re still getting used [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing that I&#8217;ve noticed over a quarter of a century of banging out code is how the expectations for what a coder will know has expanded enormously. When I began, the expectation was that you had an understanding of how computers roughly worked &#8211; the old CPU plus memory plus storage model that we&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;m back on the hunt for a job, I&#8217;m going back and brushing up on technologies I&#8217;ve not necessarily used for a while, out of interest as much as anything else. This has been enlivened somewhat by realising I didn&#8217;t have and IDEs or any other coding tools &#8211; other than Xcode and TextWrangler [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s goals are to cart boxes up to the storage unit, inventory the storage unit (a task which will be made difficult by it being full of boxes), and cart things in boxes off to Lifeline. Oh, and a lot of washing, vacuuming, dusting, vacuuming and washing. The infuriating thing about boxes is how difficult [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m blessing the air conditioning that has been repaired, and hideous expense, just in time for me to leave, as every opportunity sees me sitting in shorts and shirt in a room [...]]]></description>
