		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m brushing up on some technical skills and working on a few small projects. One of those is to create a TramTracker app for my Pebble Smartwatch, so I can just glance at my watch to see when the next tram is coming. As a precursor, I got a handle on the TramTracker data source [&#8230;]]]></description>

I wanted to just install Ubuntu onto a USB stick or hard drive and boot from that. The first bit turned out to be easy, but getting it to boot was quite arcane. I found lots [&#8230;]]]></description>

Fortunately, I haven&#8217;t suffered organ failure of been taken hostage by jihadists. It&#8217;s just the usual story where a confluence of professional and extra-curricular obligations have curtailed my writing and blogging activities. The upshot of my recent activity [&#8230;]]]></description>

A. Dickey gave one of his bats. Orcrist was not, as Dickey had said, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned before, one of the surprises in visiting North Korea was how the cult of personality based around the Kims was even more severe than I expected. President-for-eternity Kim Il Sung&#8217;s smiling chubby face was everywhere, including the sides of buildings, numerous shrines and mosaics, and upon the left breast of every North [&#8230;]]]></description>

Over the last few years EFA has increased its public profile markedly, and has played a leading role in debates around the internet filter, R-18+ games, privacy, and other issues.

I thought that people believed things because they had heard the evidence and believed those things to be true. If somebody believed something that was (in my opinion) wrong, it must have been because they had bad information or had heard a mistaken [&#8230;]]]></description>
