		<title>The Hell-of-Win is over for me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Five years ago I purchased myself a gorgeous toy &mdash; a newly released all-in-one sub-notebook Fujitsu P7010D. The bundle of joy served me well for over two years. It was a pleasure to use and carry around, everybody wanted to know what it was and how to get one. But then my antivirus software expired and the XP OS started to degrade, too, causing glitches here and there. And I decided to reinstall the operating system...

		<title>Quicklinks for Web Wizards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In my effort to figure out what would be the best structure for my site, I have decided to get rid of the "Time savers" section. Instead I will continue publishing thematic links that I consider useful under a separate blog category – "Goodies". In this post I am arranging the links to various magazines and tools, which I consider particularly handy for myself as a web-developer and UI designer. I hope these would be useful for other people like me. And if you have something to add to the list – you are more than welcome to do so by leaving me a comment underneath the article.

		<title>Build me a website (part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Friends and acquaintances often refer to me as a web person, so it is only natural that I am often approached with questions like &quot;How much does it cost to build a website?&quot; or &quot;Would you build me a website?&quot; The truth is: you do not have to spend hundreds of dollars to build an average personal website and you do not need me to do it.

		<title>Four feet trotting behind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Why are people so fond of dogs? Why do they breed them, train them, dress them up, and sometimes even prefer their company to that of other people? Is it true that raising a child with a dog in the house is beneficial for the child's development? Who knows...
