		<title>Why I dislike LaTeX on a fundamental level</title>
		<description><![CDATA[LaTeX is pretty much the standard for publishing mathematical documents, a pretty old standard too, and one I dislike on a fundamental level, already I should have acquired copious amounts of nerd-rage by writing this, but you know it turns me one when you guys are mad at me.
My main dislike is hardly the quality [...]]]></description>

		<title>Attire and work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so let&#8217;s say you have to be operated. You go to meet your doctor, he shakes your hand, he&#8217;s friendly, he makes a little small talk, tries to ensure you that it&#8217;s not a big deal, that this operation is routine work for him and that he&#8217;s done it for years and the risks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I don&#8217;t think that Terran is currently significantly over-powered.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yap, I actually play StarCraft II, as Protoss in fact, the one race full of whiners saying that Terran is OP. A stance with which I&#8217;m going to have to disagree.
Now, what&#8217;s often put forth is that there are no Protoss gateway units that can deal with marauders. Empirically if this was true then why [...]]]></description>

		<title>The plaza close to Ground Zero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of confusion and fighting over this so called &#8216;Mosque&#8217; that&#8217;s being built at Ground Zero. Opponents noting the insensitivity, proponents saying this is religious freedom and one of the principles that Nation Under God was built on. Then there&#8217;s still the debate of Okay, it should be legal, religious freedom says [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perpetration of myths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friend of mine&#8217;s recently got a tortoise and commented to that he seems to reject food the information books and sides all say his species should really like, and seems to præfer food said media never even mentioned. But looking at such media like Tortoise Care the things that are immediately noticeable are:

The source does [...]]]></description>

		<title>Restrictions and clearer languages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After reading about this new C# language, some design choices of it baffled me, which were part of a new trend, I&#8217;m not talking about lambda abstractions, about some object oriented features, about things that drastically reduce performance, I&#8217;m talking about if(x = y) being illegal. Conditionals in C# apparently require their value to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>General elections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[General elections have just been in this district-less country, as it seems, The Christian Democrat Appeal (CDA), the People&#8217;s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), and the Party for Freedom (PVV) have the majority they need by one seat in the parliament, they have 76/150 seats between them, enough to support themselves a coalition in [...]]]></description>

		<title>On functional programming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aah, functional programming, a source of elitism, to separate the common from the elite, or according to the common just intellectual masturbation. What it is no-one really knows, endless wars fought over which languages are functional and which are not&#8230;
Now, functional programming seems to have some intrinsic link to the lambda calculus, many programming languages even introduce [...]]]></description>

		<title>On grammar and shorter sentences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some people reading this Blog might find my grammatical capabilities dubious, those will probably give up. In fact, I was told from childhood on I should make my sentences shorter in essays, and I could divide native speakers over the fact if my grammar in a given language was correct or not. I&#8217;ve lately taken [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salvation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In rough lines, the plot of The Terminator (1984):

Android gets sent back in time to kill a woman
Man gets sent after him to protect her
Lots of explosions that barely damage the robot
At the final end the android is caught in a huge explosion and and is finally visually severely maimed but continues its pursuit regardless
Man sacrifices himself [...]]]></description>
