					<description><![CDATA[I have a theory that, really&#8230; All our current forms of communication are the same.Not in terms of technology or storage or anything technical like that, but broadly in terms of the ways we communicate. Let&#8217;s look at the four main pillars of communication: Instant Messaging - Forums - Emails - Social Media Using the [&#8230;]]]></description>

The kind where technology does all the work! &#8220;&#8230; I&#8217;m listening&#8221; Good! I shall regale you of my vision for a perfect automated future! &#8220;&#8230; Okay, but tone it down a little&#8221; &#8230; Fine. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sometime on the 31st of July, I was trying to figure out why my computer wasn&#8217;t properly recognising one of the drives that was in it, so I decided to format it to see if that helped. &#160; As it turns out, that drive had my Windows OS on it.

					<description><![CDATA[Steam recently announced that they were retiring their Greenlight program and replacing it with what they call &#8220;Direct&#8221;. What follows are my thoughts on their solution and my alternative. It&#8217;s not superbly researched, it&#8217;s an opinion piece. Fair warning. For those who don&#8217;t know, Greenlight works by allowing practically anyone to submit a game concept [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So I just finished watching the second episode of the EC Game Literacy videos (Part 1), (Part 2) and, particularly where they are comparing Games to Novels in terms of level of comprehension, I found it incredibly fascinating. With books there&#8217;s a very clear path, using well defined labels, to step up your competence in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; I figured since I hadn&#8217;t done a blog post in a while, that I might as well weigh in on the whole census thing. For those not in the know, not paying attention, overseas, or in the future&#8230; This is what I&#8217;m talking about: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2016/07/the-2016-census-will-keep-your-name-and-address/ Right from the start I want to make it [&#8230;]]]></description>

At first, I was worried&#8230; Coming so soon after their failed attempt at monetising [&#8230;]]]></description>
