		<title>A new low in spelling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this last night on one of the local TV stations: &#8220;Happy Holiday&#8217;s!&#8221;
I&#8217;m sorry, I meant, on one of the local TV station&#8217;s. Because noun&#8217;s should have apostrophe&#8217;s.

		<title>Fall activities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quick update on my non-work related activities.
A lot of orienteering lately:

 Quick white course at Lake Bond with my daughter a few weeks ago.
A very eventful Birkhead Wilderness run. You can read the report in the comments &#8211; I don&#8217;t think there was one single participant to get all the controls right. I messed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prize for trash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the novel ideas (at least for me) for the Gleneagles Challenge Adventure Racing was a prize for the most unusual piece of trash one can collect from the course. I think it was a great way to encourage us to clean up the courses, but even more so to become painfully aware of [...]]]></description>

		<title>My First Adventure Race</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I participated in the Gleneagles Challenge. I must say it was a lot more fun than I expected from an event that takes 4.5 hours and requires you to be constantly on the move.
About 20 minutes of running, 30 minutes in the kayak, an orienteering course and a lot of bike riding. The bike&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>keyutils, python and you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend I wrote  Python bindings for keyutils. So this blog announces python-keyutils.
If you are not familiar with keyutils, it is a library that allows you to securely store sensitive information, directly inside the Linux kernel. You have a reasonable guarantee that the information cannot be retrieved from the memory or swap.

		<title>python: the dangers of assert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ran into a piece of code that looked like this:

import threading

class A(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):
        self.foo()

    def foo(self):
        assert(threading.currentThread() != self, "Blah?")
        print threading.currentThread() == self

a = A()
a.start()
a.foo()
a.join()
