		<title>Steve Jobs, marketing genius, or complete and utter b******?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was with great excitement that me and a colleague watched Steve Jobs&#8217; iPhone 4 key-note speech. Multi-tasking in particular is a feature that adds a great deal of extra functionality to the phone.  The key-note was fantastic, and 45 minutes in, we were left chuffed to bits that we&#8217;d bought the right phone, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux user = Hacker?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this while waiting for my Playstation 3 to perform an update.  For those of you that don&#8217;t own a PS3, it offers a feature called &#8220;install other OS&#8221;.  This has long been used for Linux by users who either wanted to use the PS3&#8242;s vast power as a nice PC, or people who [...]]]></description>

		<title>What do you do when all 4 wheels fall off the wagon at once?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last 2 weeks have been a nightmare. To run a successful e-commerce website, you need a good domain name, a well built site, an easy to use payment system, and an efficient pick and pack system.  Having finished 2 websites 2 weeks ago we were ready for launch.  Cue website 1.  Time to change [...]]]></description>

		<title>The HP virus strikes again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I couldn't help feel guilty the other day.  A colleague casually mentioned to me that he had a HP laptop.  Straight away, I asked him how old it was.  "12 months" was the reply.  I jokingly told him that he had 2 months left on it before it committed firey suicide...]]></description>

		<title>Tablesheets &#8211; A unique coding style, or an abomination?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back when I first started hand coding websites, it was all about tables.  Designs were cut up into squares and laid out in rows and columns.  This was ten years ago, oh how I miss those days...]]></description>

		<title>Why mess with convention?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A rant of a different kind tonight...

Did you know, the first computer mouse was invented in 1964?  Sure, it wasn't anything like what we use today, but the basic concept was there.  For some time now, mice have had 1 or 2 buttons.  Later on came the scroll wheel.  Now, with optical technology, wireless, and the addition of a few more buttons, the mouse is a technical marvel compared to the old ball mice of the 90's.]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen the new adverts for Windows 7 on the TV?  I&#8217;m a PC, and Windows 7 was my idea&#8230; Microsoft are obviously trying to push the fact that they have listened to their painstaked users and are now responding.  Having not seen 7 in the flesh yet, I can&#8217;t really comment on it, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Internet Explorer 8</title>

Websites that worked fine before IE8?  <a href="http://www.benfallaize.co.uk/2009/10/microsofts-internet-explorer-8/">Enter here...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Perl&#8217;s ability to get away with murder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve been using Perl to write a sort of search engine.  Basically, it gets given a web address, it goes off, has a good mooch through the given web address, gathers the information I tell it to, has a little sleep, and comes back to me, all the while fooling the chosen site into [...]]]></description>
