		<title>the cost/efficiency of paper processes in a e-world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I had an interesting experience. I had to mail a banking form in paper due to local banking regulations. As there is no post office on my way to my work place and none nearby I had to wait until the weekend to do so.
I started around 11:05 AM to the nearest post office. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roaming and operator-updated time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am writing this from India (GMT + 5.5) and roaming with my Singapore (GMT + 8.0) mobile phone. I noticed something very strange. In all my mobile phones, under &#8220;time and date&#8221; settings, I usually setup time zone as local time instead of GMT +/- X and Network operator time as auto-update. By this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Virtualisation and missing RAM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is part 2 to my earlier post &#8220;A Linux crash, burn and recover experience&#8220;. I had mentioned in there that I plan to use a Virtual Machine (VM) strategy for easy backup and porting in future. However, the reality forced me to abandon the approach. It could also be that I don&#8217;t know the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pleasantly surprised by Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a chance to beta test the upcoming release of Windows OS, version 7. I didn&#8217;t have any expectations for the Windows Vista successor; I have downgraded all my factory-installed Vista systems to Windows XP within 15 minutes   &#8230; I was pleasantly surprised with what Microsoft had done this time though :O

		<title>A Linux crash, burn and recover experience&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my trustworthy RHEL servers which was up (virtually) for 4+ years and served thousands of users over-the-web recently crashed. As data in the server was critical, we had to undertake a salvage operation before re-install. This post is my experience of recovering the server&#8217;s data and also some of the lessons learned and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did my 20th blood donation on Saturday :)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[the heading says it all&#8230;
I started donating blood in April 2002 and until March 2009 I have donated 20 times. I am not sure if I should feel proud about it because in theory I could have donated up to 28 times (4 years a year is allowed in Singapore for whole blood donation). However, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hackers Vs Crackers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Exactly, 8 months ago to this date I had a chance to visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, United States. The exhibition was one of the largest I have ever been to. It featured exhibits from multiple disciplines of Science and was lively, interactive and very well maintained. Even with a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building Android from source, a compiled guide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I got my hands on a Android dev phone 1, the unlocked developer-friendly phone using the shiny new Linux-based OS from Google. I spent a few days to figure out how to compile a new OS into the phone. Unlike the application development process that is well documented by Google, system development is largely [...]]]></description>

		<title>My January wish for Google reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I primarily use Google reader* to sync with many websites these days. Many a times I subscribe to many news sources that specialize on the same domain, just to make sure that I don&#8217;t miss out on any interesting development carried by only one of them. For example, I am now subscribing to half dozen [...]]]></description>
