		<title>I&#8217;m an uncle again!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a bit late in making this post, as it&#8217;s almost week-old news, but I&#8217;ve been waiting for the pictures to go up on Facebook before I posted anything.
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>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to post about this for weeks now, but haven&#8217;t got around to it. 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>

		<title>Minor improvements to the site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to go with a very minimalist approach when I redesigned my blog, and I&#8217;ve been very happy with that decision. The new design is easier to read, easier to modify, and loads a lot faster to boot. However, I felt there were some minor improvements I could make, here&#8217;s a few things I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally time to drop Internet Explorer 6?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of web designers and developers have hated Internet Explorer 6 for years, it holds back progress on the web and is the bane of many people&#8217;s lives, so naturally we all get excited every time there&#8217;s some big news about it being phased out. Unfortunately, however, until now there&#8217;s never really been a [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve had interviews with all these people:

		<title>MySQL Load-Balanced Cluster Guide &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently working on setting up a load-balanced many-master MySQL cluster at work, without using MySQL Cluster as it&#8217;s incompatible with our needs. Finding good guides on how to do this has proven incredibly difficult, so I thought I would document the process here.
This first post is going to cover setting up the servers themselves [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Blog Design</title>
