		<title>Is the IE6 Petition News?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BBC News has a front page story about a petition to the government to phase out the use of IE6.  Historically, ceasing to use IE has always been a good idea in my book, and IE6 is now very outdated (it&#8217;ll be nine years old in August).  What caught my eye, however, was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sequential Email Addresses are Silly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A simple hint for email administrators everywhere.  If you have a large number of users with unique sequential ID numbers, it may be tempting to use that ID as a primary email address, or an alias, but don&#8217;t do it.  It&#8217;s an open invitation to spammers to target your users with the minimum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memories of Hendrefoilan School in the 70s and 80s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not stepping on the lines in the infant playground.  Girls drawing hopscotch numbers on the paving stones and singing &#8220;who stole my watch and chain&#8221;.  Wondering why the girls never wanted to play war.  Lining up when the whistle went before classes.  The day The Whistle was replaced by The Bell. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Code Tutorial Blueprint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just watched a nice presentation by Yahoo evangelist Christian Heilmann who opened the show at FF09 yesterday.  Whilst there&#8217;s a lot of good ideas throughout regarding the maintainability of JavaScript code, one nugget stood out about code tutorials.  Christian Suggests a four pronged presentation strategy when writing tutorials for designers &#8211; it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Full Frontal 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A conference on ECMA-262&#8221; doesn&#8217;t sound particularly exciting, so I can understand the organisers of Full Frontal 2009 wanting to pick a name that was perhaps more attention grabbing.  I&#8217;m heading along there tomorrow, and depending on the format (&#038; facilities at my disposal) I&#8217;ll hopefully be able to blog and tweet throughout.

		<title>Rolling out an HTML5 theme</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wondered how hard it would be to get this site fully compliant with the as-yet unpublished HTML5 spec.  Please excuse the dust.  Most things are in and working.  Still to tweak are nested comments and a few CSS niceties.

		<title>Trying Twitoaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea of twitoaster is that it allows twitter users to reply to posts using tweets, so the discussion can live in many places.  Nice.  Fellow twitter users, I&#8217;d be most grateful if you could try this out to let me see if does what it says on the tin.  Tweet comments [...]]]></description>

		<title>Probable Trust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right now, there&#8217;s limited information on reputable news sites regarding the earthquake/tsunami that occurred south of Samoa yesterday.  To find more, I turned to Twitter (and its open source equivalent identi.ca).  Disseminating live news from witnesses, moments after a major event, is the most compelling feature of such services, but both failed me. [...]]]></description>
