		<description><![CDATA[Hi, a quick update on Tweakr: it has now been promoted to extras-testing, since the reboot loop bug (thanks, hildon-home!) has been fixed. Also a new feature present: the Profile button in the Status Menu gets replaced by Tweakr&#8217;s own button (which looks identical), so that you won&#8217;t have get your Status Menu too crowded.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been working on a little utility package for Maemo 5, called Tweakr. It&#8217;s a Settings applet that lets you tweak little known settings that could otherwise be changed only by editing configuration files by hand. It has a plugin architecture, so you could write your own plugin too. The ones I have so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When writing source code, indenting is very important. Having a neat and clean programming style, let alone a precise and uniform one, is probably one of the most important keys when attaching example source code with a job application. I was myself asked to show some of my source code in my last two interviews. [...]]]></description>

During this time, I&#8217;ve realized that most of them are just bad programmers, simply said. I find myself agreeing with a brilliant post by Jeff Atwood, which alleges that programmers can&#8217;t program. What are the reasons [...]]]></description>

Very often, when reviewing code written by other people, I find violations of common OO practices, that make the code a lot less maintainable. Here follows a list of the most common ones, and, of course, some explanations about them. Layer [...]]]></description>
