		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d grown tired of the previous look (as I usually do when my site has had the same look for a year), so welcome to the new look Alfreido.com. Took quite a bit of time in between work and social life, so I hope the blood, sweat and tears of a somewhat introverted web designer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got a MacBook Pro Friday last week through work, and I must say, I&#8217;m sold on Mac OS X 10 being better than Windows in areas. Watch this space cos in 2 weeks I&#8217;ll give my overall impressions on the MacBook Pro when I&#8217;ve sufficiently used it enough to be classed as &#8216;used to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, whilst searching for domains that I wanted to buy for a new project of mine (more details on that in the post below), I had a thought to see if I could buy &#8216;benthomson.com&#8216;. Turns out it&#8217;s already bought, by another Ben Thomson. I had to go see what this alternative Ben Thomson was [...]]]></description>
