		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a firm believer that all work should have an agreed end date, but end dates are always a bone of contention and cause endless confusion and wasted arguments and disagreements. These usually hover around the &#8220;when will we be finished?&#8221; question and, more to the point, no properly defined (empirical) way of working it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attended the 1st day of gSouthAfrica 2.0 (https://sites.google.com/site/gsouthafrica20/), the second incantation of the Google South Africa conference. The first day was a Hackathon focused on the Google+ API (https://developers.google.com/+/api/) in its current incantation. For me the day was a bit of a let down, the Plus API is severely limited with only the basic ability [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently purchased a Viewsonic gtablet (or gtab) and I thought I&#8217;d dump some thoughts I had on it for future buyers. Firstly I&#8217;m based in South Africa so access to technology like this is, well, lacking. The only &#8220;tablet&#8221; officially available as of this post, is the Samsung Galaxy Tab (I say &#8220;tablet&#8221; because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In South Africa you hear stories about people brushing against the corruption of the Police but it doesn&#8217;t sink in until you actually experience it. Today I was stopped by a pointless roadblock doing nothing more than harassing innocent citizens, checking for expired licenses, expired roadworthy certificates and the likes. Unfortunately my car&#8217;s roadworthy certificate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Tekkie I&#8217;m prone to watching reruns of old Star Trek episodes from time to time and I started seeing many similarities between an agile approach to &#8220;getting things done&#8221; and the way the crew of the Enterprise work. Yes, granted, it&#8217;s a militaristic structure but that&#8217;s not to say you can&#8217;t still be [...]]]></description>

Day 2 was, for me anyway, not as interesting as Day 1, but nevertheless worth it (it&#8217;s a fault of mine that I&#8217;m way too technical and not focused enough on &#8220;the other stuff&#8221;). It&#8217;s focus was mostly [...]]]></description>

Day 1 of the Google South Africa (g&#124;southafrica) Conference finished a couple of hours ago and it was a pretty cool day. I&#8217;ve worked with most of the [...]]]></description>
