		<title>How Things Have Changed&#8230;or Not!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we gracefully move into a new decade, I&#8217;ve been reading a number of articles looking back over the last 10 years and how things have changed over that time. Information technology and how we use it has truly transformed peoples lives over the last 10 years. The widespread adoption of the PC, broadband internet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Anyone Else Waving?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother was kind enough to send me a Google Wave invitation a few weeks ago&#8230;and I&#8217;m pretty impressed with it so far. However, I have one small downside&#8230;I only have 1 contact so far! So&#8230;do you have access to Google Wave? If so&#8230;add me&#8230;! Contact me and I&#8217;ll let you know the email address [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grooveshark</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve posted at least a couple of times before regarding the current payment structure for most media, and how I see the current model as being largely outdated. There are a number of services which offer some great alternatives. I&#8217;ve not tried them all, indeed I couldn&#8217;t try some of them such as Spotify as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash Not Working on Ubuntu 9.04 amd64</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Flash has not been working properly since I first installed Ubuntu 9.04 a few weeks ago. I tried numerous fixes including this, this, and a few more. However, rather than Googling &#8216;flash not working ubuntu 9.04&#8242;, I though that perhaps I should try looking at how to get flash working on Ubuntu 9.04 rather than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Michael Jackon&#8217;s Passing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was shocked last night to hear about Michael Jackson&#8217;s death. In my opinion he was the greatest recording artist to have ever lived. His Thriller album is the biggest selling album of all time. He was undeniably a troubled man, and may he rest in peace. My thoughts are with his family.]]></description>

		<title>The Plot Thickens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just launched a new site focussing on my recent problems with Yell Ltd. You can find it here: yellscam.org. It was an enjoyably easy process! I use Media Temple as my hosting service, and they offer a 1-click wordpress install! Fantastic. It&#8217;s not the latest version, but once installed, it&#8217;s a 1-click upgrade process, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hip Flasks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was given a Celtic hip flask for my 21st birthday, and I reckon that they&#8217;re a hugely popular birthday gift for young and old men and women alike. In case you&#8217;re not sure what they are: Hip flasks are vessels used to carry a small amount of liquid on ones person. They are usually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Problems With Yell.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took out an advertising program on yell.com in November 2008 that cost me roughly £1750 exc VAT for 1 year. The basis of that program was that my ad would appear in their search results under certain search criteria. They show 10 results per page, so my ad would be on the 1st page [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Power of a Connected World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google street view has been hitting the news recently, not because it is offering something new, but mainly because it&#8217;s by Google. The service offers the ability to view images of towns from street level, allowing the user to move along roads in a &#8216;virtual&#8217; world. It&#8217;s an interesting service, and it certainly poses some powerful questions [...]]]></description>

		<title>F1 on the BBC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Formula 1 has only been with the BBC for 2 days, and already there&#8217;s some disappointment. Firstly, they did not show the Friday practice session on TV, only radio. ITV used to show all 3 days, but due to rule changes in recent years the Friday session changed from a qualifying session to a practice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Apps Gets Updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using Google Apps to manage both my personal and business email for quite a while, and Gmail for a few years before that. I noticed a few months ago that there were lots of new features being tried out in Gmail under the Google Labs project, but was disappointed that they weren&#8217;t availalbe [...]]]></description>
