		<title>My new Motorola Droid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some notes from my initial experiences with a Verizon Motorola Droid phone that I just recently started using. This is my first &#8220;smartphone&#8221;, and I&#8217;m pretty impressed. (Those closer to the tech edge will find little of interest in this article.)  My old phone was an LG VX3850 (not quite smart, perhaps a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Problems with symlinks and portable Lisp code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I have been contributing work to ASDF-INSTALL in an attempt to make it more configurable (especially on Windows), and to make it handle multiple defsystems correctly. This was motivated in part by dissatisfaction with the recommended techniques for dealing with Windows&#8217; lack of symbolic links in ASDF and ASDF-INSTALL. It should, and can, be [...]]]></description>

		<title>(I)DataSet and (I)DbDataSet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been staring at a lot of Microsoft documentation lately, trying to architect a database access layer that leverages the rather nice design tools in Visual Studio 2005 , while still giving us some hooks into a data constraint mechanism. I&#8217;m trying to stay away from the currently popular business-object-to-table-hierarchy design, since I think this [...]]]></description>

		<title>CLinNET -&gt; RDNZL -&gt; CL-CLR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t worked on CLinNet in quite a while, but a few months ago I started playing with RDNZL, a .NET/Common Lisp interface written by Edi Weitz. Very nice! But I found the need to use assembly-qualified type names, or to import types or assembly contents, to be fairly cumbersome when I worked with Direct3D. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Change of blog software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying out WordPress as of today. Although I copied over my two existing articles, I haven&#8217;t bothered to bring over the two legitimate comments. (Sorry, Alex and Chuck!) I&#8217;m hoping that fighting referrer and comment spam will be easier with WordPress. We&#8217;ll see.]]></description>

		<title>A better cigarette machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an overdue update to my post about rolling your own smokes. After about six months of using the Supermatic II cigarette-stuffing machine, it was getting more and more balky. It would jam frequently, and wouldn&#8217;t quite stuff the full length of cigarettes, requiring a lot of tapping to pack the tobacco down to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rolling your own smokes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Making your own cigarettes can be done by hand-rolling. If you grew up in the sixties or seventies, you should have at least a passing familiarity with this activity, albeit not with cigarette tobacco. However, most people who make their own cigs nowadays use an injection machine, and the process is one of injecting tobacco [...]]]></description>

		<title>Common Lisp in .NET</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For fun and education, I&#8217;m currently working on an implementation of Common Lisp on the .NET framework. This meshes with my personal strong interest in Common Lisp, and my new responsibilities at my day job, where I&#8217;ve just become a charter member of a group that is working on a new generation of products based [...]]]></description>
