		<title>Taking a peek at Apache Solr</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been talking about upgrading #1 German Drupal community DrupalCenter from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 for a while. We&#8217;re also thinking about new features and layout once we get this done. Our content-rich site would definitely get even more attractive with advanced and fast faceted search capabilities. Right nor Drupal&#8217;s integrated search isn&#8217;t of [...]]]></description>

		<title>1408</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really like horror movies. It&#8217;s been a while when I read about 1408 on a German horror movie fansite and saw a trailer but I was almost instantly caught by it. It wasn&#8217;t because it&#8217;s based on a short story by Stephen King, although I love King and read quite a few of his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinking about a redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From time to time I stumble aross some nice looking themes for Wordpress, which I use in here and over in my German blog. I&#8217;m not a fan of scremaing designs. I like it easily readable and well-thought, but it seems a bit funny to me that I&#8217;m using themes I did not design myself.
Yesterday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Long time no write</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a long time, a whopping five and a half months to be precise, since my last post in this blog. There have been quite some changes in that time, far more than I have time now to tell. But I promise I&#8217;ll do better in the future.
For the start I&#8217;ve updated this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pre-listen the new Nine Inch Nails album</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What does it take to listen to the full album &#8220;Year Zero&#8221; before it gets published? Well, nothing more than an email address - which currently doesn&#8217;t even have to be valid. Just have a look at the Nine Inch Nails &#8220;Year Zero&#8221; pre-listening website.

		<title>Java emulates x86 processor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scientists at the University of Oxford published JPC, a pure Java implementation of a x86 PC running on a variety of JVMs, such as on Windows PCs, Macs, Linux and even mobile phones.

They claim to achieve around 10% of the host&#8217;s performance and look forward for further improvements and also for publishing the sourcecode under [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t contact the Anaheim Ducks by email</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking forward to attend the season opener on 29th of September in London/UK between the Anaheim Ducks and the L.A. Kings. Because I own a Chris Pronger jersey I thought this might offer a great chance to get it signed by Prongs.
Yesterday and again today I tried to send the Ducks an email to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why are interface methods public?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At second glance a simple question in a German Java forum turned out to be quite interesting. Why do interface methods in Java have to be public? Bug entries covering this topic get closed with pseudo explanations like &#8220;Because they are intended to be public.&#8221;.
Did you ever stumble across a good explanation about why the [...]]]></description>

Hi, my name is Urinella Polanski and I am Alexander Langer&#8217;s avatar in Linden Labs&#8217; virtual online world &#8216;Second Life&#8216; (SL).
This is all new and exciting to me. Funny that SL started back in 2003 and I never really heard about it before. Okay, my news reader was full of news such as &#8220;Second Life [...]]]></description>
