		<title>High Res Star Trek Voyager Desktop Backgrounds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, I stumbled upon these awesome high resolution renders posted by a guy (Mojo) who used to draw and render the CGI models for Star Trek Voyager and more recently Battlestar Galactica, they make great desktop backgrounds.  I use them on my Macbook Pro and set it to change the images randomly every [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shiny new SIA A330&#8242;s are heading to Adelaide this year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After flying Internationally with QANTAS into Asia in 2005 and being extremely disappointed with the quality of their cabin, the aircraft (an old B767) and available entertainment, last year in 2008 I decided to try Singapore Airlines. In January I flew with Singapore Airlines to the Philippines and Singapore. I was lucky enough to score [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s the iPhone missing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple are really good at building new and innovative products, with new and innovative features! But somehow, with everything they do, they always miss out on some of the simplest, most logical features or tools. This goes right across their product line: OS X, hardware, Apple TV, etc. &#8230;and it includes the iPhone too&#8230; even [...]]]></description>

		<title>LCD TVs with an LED backlight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been wanting to invest in a large LCD TV for a while now. However what has stopped me from purchasing one, is the looming release of LED backlit models. Right now, much to my disappointment, all LCD TVs currently available in Australia are powered by CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluroescent) backlights. The issue with these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Converting Adobe RGB colour space to sRGB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I shoot photos on my Nikon D50 camera in the Adobe RGB colour space. This colour space has a wider gamut than sRGB, which is what all Digital cameras tend to default to these days. Using Adobe RGB allows my camera to record more colour than it ordinarily would if I were using sRGB. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>High Bitrate NASA TV Stream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Discovery is yet again on-orbit (STS-120). Space walks are happening, and bits and pieces are getting shuffled around and added to the International Space Station. I&#8217;ve always enjoyed watching bits and pieces of the various shuttle missions on NASA TV, but the thing that has become annoying lately is the lack of a decent high [...]]]></description>

		<title>iSync plugin for Nokia Phones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been quite annoyed for a while that Apple haven&#8217;t added full support for most of the recent Nokia phones, including the E70 that I currently use. I got even more annoyed not long ago, when, with the release of OS 10.4.9, Apple added support for the E61, yet overlooked support for the E70! These [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to disable Windows XP SP2 / Vista Security Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Windows XP Service Pack 2 was released, it came along with a whole raft of &#8216;security&#8217; enhancements. One of these was Security Center (I&#8217;m tempted to spell &#8216;center&#8217; as &#8216;centre&#8217; because I&#8217;m Australian. But, it&#8217;s called &#8220;Security Center&#8221; so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll call it). Security Center was implemented to assist in encouraging general users [...]]]></description>

		<title>Traceroute in CentOS and MPLS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently upgraded the traceroute package on one of my CentOS 4.4 boxes to 1.4a12-24, along with it came an annoying bug. It was picking up the MPLS hops inside the Internode network as ICMP checksum errors. This annoyed me, so I went hunting for a fix. Turns out that the slightly later version from [...]]]></description>
