		<title>How to fix Huawei E620 USB 3G Modem in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and among a few other niggles (mostly related to intel video support, or lack thereof) it completely broke support for my Huawei 3G (E620) modem.

		<title>Procrastination Busting Strategies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Procrastination is a topic of particular interest to me. I suspect most people suffer from it to a certain degree, myself most certainly included, and this is seldom more clear to me than when wearing my university student hat during the final month of semester, assignment due season, or &#8216;hell week(s)&#8217; as I sometimes affectionately [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many moons I&#8217;ve been attempting to get the server functionlity of the OpenID plugin working with my wordpress install and been stumped on the following two errors:
First, any hit on the OpenID /openid/server url (I am using non-default permalinks) generated the following :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_options_page() in

		<title>Ubuntu Netbook Remix on Asus eeepc / eee pc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following my previous post on restoring the default xandros install to the eeepc, it didn&#8217;t take me long to move to (and ultimately settle on) Ubuntu. Its not perfect but a hell of a lot better than stock Xandros.
I had a play with the stock ASUS install for a while, but it was less than [...]]]></description>

I wanted to get rid of XP and have a play with the stock linux O/S instead: I expected this to be an easy gimmie, but it was not, and ate up an evenings worth of my time googling [...]]]></description>

		<title>High Powered Tesla Coil Demonstration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traveled down south on the weekend to see a live demonstration of High Voltage Tesla Coils in action: a 2 hour drive but well worth it. It was a small invite only group at the Tesla guy Peters house, where it was being filmed for a show on the Dutch TV network &#8220;Veronica TV&#8221;. (Previously [...]]]></description>

So I could both record procedures from the smartphone using a flash-video creation software, and demo things on a big screen live in front of the class, I setup my phone with VNC which allowed me to do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adding search plugins to firefox is now broken by default?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just discovered an incredibly annoying bug downgrade &#8220;feature&#8221; in the new firefox (3) &#8211; the new add-search-plugins site is broken. I noticed it in later versions of firefox 2.x as well: I was kind of hoping it was something temporary but it looks like its here to stay.
(Quick solution: ignore the site the &#8220;Add engines&#8221; link takes you to and go to mycroft.mozilla.org instead &#8211; its all there).
