		<description><![CDATA[I have made some cosmetic changes to the website.  It turns out I like programming in HTML and CSS instead of adding content to the blog.  I decided to go with a lighter colour scheme, using the undoctored image of the lighthouse at Peggy&#8217;s Cove.  I have also taken the date format [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I upgraded WordPress (the software that runs this website) to version 2.5.1.  It was fairly easy, and the online instructions helped a lot.  This is not the only upgrade I have done recently.
My desktop computer was running Fedora Core 6, a version of Linux that is several years old now (the current version is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a while.
I submitted my thesis to the readers in late December/early January.  My external examiner was changed to Dr. Jonathan Block, from the University of Pennsylvania.  My oral defense was April 9th, and my graduation (at the 179th Encenia) was May 29th.  So I am now, officially, Dr. Jones.
Early in 2008 I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received comments back from my supervisor this week.  They were mainly stylistic changes, but there are a few things that have to be added or expanded.  I have made most of the changes and am working on the other details. My supervisor phoned yesterday to let me know that I now have [...]]]></description>

The total page count currently stands at 87, properly formated.  On the bus drive home I started thinking about how to get some articles out of the thesis. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was finally able to get out and look at the sun today.  On Saturday I got a piece of solar film to make a filter for my telescope (60mm refractor).  I made the filter Sunday afternoon, but because of the time change, the sun is very low in the afternoon, so I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, I was looking at Comet Holmes.  Comet Holmes (17P) was a dim comet (magnitude 17; for reference, Venus right now is mag. -4.4; Moon mag. -11; North Star mag. 2 ), not visible even by small telescope.  But last week, for some unknown reason, it brightened to magnitude 2.5.  Most news [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot has happened in the last week.  Ontario and Newfoundland both held elections, and both resulted in landslide victories.  Ontario also held a referendum on electoral change.  The proposal was, rightly so, defeated.  A proportional model is not what we need.  I would be in favour of some change [...]]]></description>
