		<title>Show a context menu for long-clicks in an Android ListView</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coming from a Windows and .NET background, I had some trouble understanding how to interact with the ListView control and context menu creation in Android. Context menus are supposed to be shown on your mobile device when you touch/click the screen and hold on for a longer time. So here is how to determine which [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to connect to SkyDrive with WebDAV &#8211; and my Office 2010 awakening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually, I stumbled upon this when I decided to try out Office 2010 beta. I haven&#8217;t found any official documentation about how to connect to Windows Live SkyDrive with WebDAV (or any API), so I&#8217;m not sure how well supported this will be in the future. If you find any word about this from Microsoft, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scott Guthrie in Stockholm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scott Guthrie&#8217;s first visit to Sweden was of course nothing I was going to miss. It sounded especially interesting since the top was Visual Studio 2010, ASP.NET 4.0 and Silverlight 4.0, none of which I thought had gotten due attention at TechEd Europe in Berlin last month. This is the man that co-invented ASP.NET and [...]]]></description>

		<title>First investigation of Windows Azure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I have finally found some time to experiment with Windows Azure. My starting-point is that I&#8217;m a freelance developer that needs hosting services in order to try out several different ideas of my own.
I first wanted to get a better understanding of what a virtual machine looks like in Windows Azure. What is it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Suddenly unidentified network in Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This problem really had me worried for a few hours today. I was working as usual on my recently purchased Dell XPS Studio 435MT when all of the sudden the network died. I have a cable connection to a switch, which is connected to an Asus router which is then connected to an ADSL provider.
So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin, Friday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the last day of TechEd is over. After a full week, my brain is a little tired. The last day doesn&#8217;t have the same energy as the other days. I find it somewhat unfortunate. The lunch was only a bag with sandwich, salad and stuff. The lunch break is shortened and only one session [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin, Thursday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Half time has passed and it is time to secure the most valuable knowledge before the week has ended. The tactics of session selection is complex. You could go for the topics that interest you the most, but since all of the breakout sessions are being recorded I would recommend to go more on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin, Wednesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day three at TechEd was the best one this far. Maybe getting better at selecting good sessions and speakers, which is always somewhat of a science in itself.
The food is great, even better than in Barcelona. After some glitches with queuing to the lunch rooms the first day, everything has run smoothly. Warm food buffet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin, Tuesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day two was also mixed. Three good presentations and two wastes of time.
Berlin Messe is really a huge complex. I&#8217;ve noted that some have complained about the long distances between session rooms, technical learning center, lunch and so on. Yes, it was more compact in Barcelona, however I didn&#8217;t find it to be a big [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft TechEd Europe 2009 in Berlin, Monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First day at TechEd was a little mixed. I don&#8217;t understand the thinking behind putting the keynotes after lunch and after we&#8217;ve already had a few sessions. Isn&#8217;t a keynote suppose to kick off a conference? On the other hand, keynotes with nothing to launch is usually really boring and so was this one. More [...]]]></description>
