		<title>Star Trek: Deep Space Nine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the whole, Deep Space Nine is not great and most episodes are forgettable. I have no empathy for Kira Nerys or the Bajorans in general. Dukat is a great character, but then it turns to the whole silly Pah-wraith. Kai Winn Adami is just annoying and should have been fed to a wild lion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Star Trek: Voyager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Voyager is overall a good show. And that is despite the fact that the only character I really like is that of Captain Kathryn Janeway &#8211; her way of doing things sets her very clearly aside and beyond from the rest.

		<title>Star Trek: The Next Generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TNG has Jean-Luc Picard &#8211; what more is there to discuss. Well, the first two seasons of TNG were less than stellar, but from third season onward it feels like a solid show. A lot of that has to do with the look and feel, where the uniforms were changed to look more sane.

		<title>Language Detection Done Wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a little rant about a sin of which Google, Microsoft, and MySpace, and many other big names are all guilty: Automatic language detection based on anything except the actual Accept-Language header the browser sends. They instead use IP geolocation or try to guess from you picking the country you are from.
I am Danish, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>And out goes Bitstream Vera&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally had enough of looking at Bitstream Vera, so I uninstalled it. I had previously merely changed the system default to Tahoma via the MS TTF core fonts, which helped immensely, but then today I stumbled upon the Try KDE page. For some reason, they have hard-coded their site to use Bitstream Vera. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Increasing Apache&#8217;s Security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the Apache HTTP Server is a wonderful piece of software, it sadly does not have any built-in way of running vhosts as the user they represent, which has been the headache of many an admin. Either have to fiddle with groups, running multiple daemons, or something worse. In most cases, it led to users [...]]]></description>

		<title>Incremental Backup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago when I started wanting good incremental backups for my data, I looked around the net and found many good tools, but none that did exactly what I wanted. Either the process to restore from the backup was slow, or they didn&#8217;t support SSH, or any number of other small annoyances.
So I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seamless Transition with Rsync and SSH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the ways to seamlessly transition services from one machine to another is by setting the Time To Live of the domains to something very low a few days before, then switch their IP to the new, and setting TTL back to normal when you can be sure it has propagated.
While that works, I [...]]]></description>
