		<title>PHP needles and haystacks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was skim reading  &#8221;PHP &#8211; The Good Parts&#8221; yesterday to see if there was anything new in it. The following lines caught my eye – never knew this! The position of needle/haystack parameters in string functions is the reverse of the parameters in array functions. strstr($haystack, $needle) array_search($needle, $haystack) I just assumed the developers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dave on Usability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A nice perk from working in the web development department at e2save.com: we&#8217;re allowed to buy books on the company credit card as long as we share the knowledge with the team afterwards. I decided to try this out by ordering the &#8220;Rocket Surgery Made Easy&#8220; by Steve Krug, the sequel to &#8220;Don&#8217;t Make Me Think&#8220;. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I learned today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emailing the Vodafone CEO with your customer support query gets it resolved very quickly. I&#8217;m incapable of installing Aptana with Eclipse Helios with Flash Builder 4 all together on Windows without getting Java native errors. I like Google Docs Presentations. I&#8217;m vaguely capable of presenting. I can talk about web usability in a clear way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rooting my HTC Desire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of people have asked me about how I went about rooting my HTC Desire and what ROM I&#8217;ve put on it. Here&#8217;s how I did it: I installed &#8220;HTC Sync&#8221; from HTC&#8217;s official website I followed the rooting  instructions over at http://desire.modaco.com I downloaded ROM Manager from the Android Market I used that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Misdirected emails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love replying to misdirected emails. Here&#8217;s one that arrived in my personal inbox today: Dear Mr Carrington After looking through our files for your property ##########, I noted that the gas safety had expired. I contacted Mr ###### (who carried out the last gas safety) and he has reported that the ‘diverter valve is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dream to Dunkirk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I dreamt of being in an old car. I was in the passenger while my brother drove and my dad was in the back. I have no idea what brought he following dream together: Note: all spelling mistakes are left in on purpose. We arrived in Snowdonia and I wasn&#8217;t too happy. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ordered an HTC Desire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of smartphones, especially from HTC. I currently own an HTC BlueAngel, Touch, Diamond, Dream (G1), and now I&#8217;ve ordered an HTC Desire to match. This morning I posted to Twitter: T-Mobile want to charge me £170 to upgrade to an HTC Desire. Yet another reason I&#8217;ll probably switch to [...]]]></description>

		<title>MW2 builds, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in my first post about MW2 builds I focused a lot on the SCAR assault rifle in combination with scavenger perk. While I do still feel that&#8217;s a strong combination, I&#8217;ve found myself drifting away from scavenger and more towards OMA (One Man Army). Here&#8217;s my current builds: Ghost: Silenced UMP45, claymores, stuns, OMA, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Engine idling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today our company marketing team tweeted about Drivers to be fined for leaving engines running, which is essentially a UK scheme to cut down CO2 by fining drivers £20 if they refuse to turn off their engine when requested to do so &#8211; e.g. when loading. It reminds me of the common practice in Switzerland [...]]]></description>
