		<title>VPS.NET Auto Recovery Monitor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using VPS.NET for months now, both for myself and for Media Wow. Whilst their platform is incredibly stable, and their automated failover is great, there are still occasionally times when a server will go down and not come back up by itself. 
The nicely integrated Server Density monitoring does a great job of [...]]]></description>

		<title>NoFollow Checker For Safari 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, I wrote a very simple nofollow extension for Google Chrome. When enabled, it marks all no-follow links with a red highlight. Despite it&#8217;s simplicity, it has been downloaded a few thousand times!
So, with the release of Safari 5 and it&#8217;s new extensions system, I thought I&#8217;d knock together something that does the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where Have I Been? Work, IPS and Car Issues, Oh My.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went through quite a long phase of updating this blog with almost surprising regularity, so anyone that actually reads it may have noticed I’ve been somewhat absent as of late. So where have I been?
Well, the short answer is I’ve just been busy!

Since I started at Media Wow, I’ve been busy there [...]]]></description>

		<title>GWT Top Search Queries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had an interesting conversation about Google Webmaster Tools, and it&#8217;s &#8220;top search queries&#8221; section, at work today. We&#8217;d read a lot of articles suggesting that the updated version of this page shows the overall impressions you could expect for each of the positions for keywords you rank for, but that didn&#8217;t quite sit right [...]]]></description>

		<title>My New Job at Media Wow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I posted last week about my last day at Stickyeyes, and as of today, I&#8217;ve been at Media Wow for a whole week. I&#8217;m not sure quite where the week has gone, it has absolutely flown. It could be due to the fact that I&#8217;m already knee deep in a couple of projects with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Motion City Soundtrack &#8211; My First Gig!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emily took me to my first ever &#8220;proper band&#8221; gig on Saturday. Yes, my first. Seriously. I&#8217;d never been to one and I&#8217;m really not sure why. I had an amazing time, despite being absolutely terrified when she first dragged me into the middle where everyone was jumping around. I quickly got into it, though [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving on, part two.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day that felt so far away when I wrote about it six weeks ago, is here. Tomorrow will be my last day working at Stickyeyes. I&#8217;ve spent the last six weeks finishing everything up that I was working on, and pushing out a few small projects. The work has included a forum launch for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Evans Halshaw: Credit Where It&#8217;s Due</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote, back in October, about my poor experiences with Evans Halshaw Vauxhall in Leeds, and I&#8217;ve recently had another one, but finally I&#8217;ve also got a positive outcome.
My alternator broke, completely, at 6AM one morning driving back from Durham. When I bought the car, I was told it came with breakdown cover which I thought [...]]]></description>

My sister had her second child on Saturday 20th February, baby Nathan. He weighed in at exactly eight pounds, with blond hair and apparently, big hands and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opinions: Encouraging Comments and DoFollow Links</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I started blogging early last year, I&#8217;ve noticed that I tend to get more feedback on my posts on Twitter (and now Google Buzz) than I do on my blog itself. Comments come rarely and are far outnumbered by the number of spam ones Akismet blocks for me. Now, I don&#8217;t blog for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving on to pastures new</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got a call a couple of weeks ago about a great opportunity at a small full-package media and marketing agency in Leeds, Media Wow. After a short, successful interview process, I was offered the job on Monday. I&#8217;m going to be helping them create a web development department from scratch to compliment their recent addition [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Chrome Frame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure by now, if you work in web development, you&#8217;ll have heard of Google Chrome Frame. The plugin for Internet Explorer that replaces the entire rendering engine with Google Chrome, on demand.
Whilst I understand that this is a less than ideal solution, as if a user can install a plugin, they can probably replace [...]]]></description>

The PHP UK Conference is coming up on the 26th of February in London and my boss, Remo Biagioni, is one of the speakers. Here&#8217;s some information about Remo and the talk from the official site:

		<title>Google Buzz Followup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I posted on Wednesday, just as Google Buzz was announced, asking whether Google Buzz was just Google Wave done right. I&#8217;ve now had Google Buzz in my GMail account for just over 24 hours, and I think I can answer the question: Not quite yet.
Why?
Google Buzz has a lot of the hallmarks of Google Wave. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Google Buzz just Wave done right?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure those of you who read this blog will have heard what Google Buzz is already. If you haven&#8217;t, Buzz is a real time sharing service, much like Twitter. It allows you to post status updates, like Twitter, but what it adds is the ability to share pictures and videos directly. Services like TwitPic [...]]]></description>
