		<title>Fast on-line Italian (and other language) dictionary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using www.wordreference.com when translating or trying to find a word in something I&#8217;ve been reading.
It&#8217;s an excellent dictionary and also has verb conjugation &#8211; it&#8217;s easy to use and fast.

		<title>Reason for Images not appearing in YAP (DVI viewer) for LaTex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just sorted out why some images wouldn&#8217;t appear in a LaTex document I&#8217;ve been working on. The old hands will probably laugh at his (I&#8217;m a newbie to LaTex) but there weren&#8217;t any errors, just a big hole were the picture should be. This was the latest version of MikTex (2.7.2).
This doesn&#8217;t work:

		<title>The Flea &#8211; a minimalist CW transceiver</title>

of the Pixie but with much more output power and a narrower bandwidth
receiver (the oscillator crystal forms part of the receive input
filter):br /br /http://ea3fxf.googlepages.com/fleabr /br /The xtal is in the receive path so the bandwidth is quite narrow and will stop broadcast interference. A PCB [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Last Lecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just watched &#8220;The Last Lecture&#8221; by Randy Pausch. 

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, &#8220;Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,&#8221; Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why learn Morse Code?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why learn morse code you may ask. Well here&#8217;s one person&#8217;s thoughts, and seeing as I&#8217;m quoting all below (excerpted from http://www.barc.org/2005/sparc_apr.pdf), he&#8217;s quoting ZL1AN, so that makes two, and I&#8217;m looking forward to when this works for me:

		<title>My first CW contact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last &#8211; I&#8217;ve finally gone on the air using CW (morse code). My first contact was with ZL2MS on 80M (3525KHz). I hadn&#8217;t intended to go on the air but the signal was strong, readable &#8211; why not I thought &#8211; got to start sometime &#8230;
Then I found out why all the tutorials on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Subversion, Delphi &amp; Global Ignore List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use Subversion with Delphi and omitting various files type is a good idea (there&#8217;s no point in committing DCU files, backup files &#8230;).
You can do this by going to to TortoiseSVN/Settings in the right-click menu and giving a list of patterns for files you DON&#8217;T want included in the &#34;Global Ignore Pattern&#34;:
Here&#8217;s my list [...]]]></description>

		<title>TinyP2P &#8211; a Peer-to-Peer Client-Server in 15 lines of Python</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a delightfully simple (well concise anyway) peer-to-peer program &#8211; it can run as either a client or a server and if wrapped (as the original was) is only 15 lines of Python.
It&#8217;s also a very good example of how concise python can be:

It can automatically mount a Truecrypt drive or (on untrusted computers) NOT mount, or mount read-only. Plus lots of other features.
To quote

		<title>Essential Vi Commands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vi is one of the ordinal editors on Unix, and now Linux machines. It has a minimal interface but can be very fast and is great if you have a slow connection.
The Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_(text_editor)
has a very nice 10 line summary.
This note is primarily so I can remember where to find it again :-)
