		<title>Agile training in Slovakia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I conducted a two day in-house agile/Scrum training in Slovakia. I enjoyed it very much apart from the few people that clearly didn&#8217;t want to be there and thus didn&#8217;t make an effort to contribute.

		<title>TDD and Formal Specification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is just a thought I want to keep: Investigate differences and similarities of Test Driven Development and Formal Specification. There is also a history of executable specifications &#8211; does this mean &#8220;tests&#8221;? Not sure I mix up a few things right now but I think it is worth to consider it a bit further.

Rather than thinking about it for too long I just pressed the button and guess what, it discovered a few really interesting blogs based on my reading habits. There you go&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Xobni &#8211; Outlook management</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite using Gmail for my personal communication, I have to use Outlook at work. Mostly, I can deal with it pretty well but I still look for some extra productivity through some extra tool support. Today I read about Xobni, an outlook add-in that I will try once I have an invitation. The video on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday, I went to the store to finally buy a new external drive. For 150€ I got a 500GB Sungoo NASD. While being there, I also picked up the new cat in town &#8211; Mac OS 10.5 named Leopard. Back home I installed the drive first. I connected it to my Mac and Win [...]]]></description>

		<title>SEM Course</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I attended a seminar about our System Development Method. The course was rather interesting although I was pushing our seminar leader a bit.
