		<title>Playing with Joomla CMS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m toying with migrating a friend&#8217;s HTML site built off a custom intractable CMS to Joomla.
I installed the K2, engine for Joomla just based on the fact that I use K2 for WordPress and it&#8217;s great. A weak reason to do so, I know, but one none-the-less.
It&#8217;s still too soon to comment on my initial [...]]]></description>

		<title>About Me Widget working in Wordpress 2.9.x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi all,
As mentioned in I&#8217;ve updated the about-me-widget to be compatible with WordPress 2.9 changes. The changes I made should be backwards compatible to 2.8x too.
Download the latest version of the about-me-widget now.
Technically, I&#8217;m not particular proud of the things I had to do to get the plugin to work, it&#8217;s not the cleanest solution. [...]]]></description>

		<title>LED traffic lights don&#8217;t melt snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From over on boing boing, I saw this interesting post about the fact that LED traffic lights can&#8217;t melt the snow that collects in their shade covers.

An interesting calculation would be to see if the energy discipated by the waste heat of the old bulbs year round equals the energy required to keep the lights [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saw AVATAR the movie last night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Decent movie, incredible effects, even more-so in 3D. As impressed by the effects as I was when I first saw the Matrix so think I&#8217; might be back to see it in 3D again.
Not too sure how I feel about the obligatory love story though.

		<title>Havoc talks about litl&#8217;s webbook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Havoc Pennington of former red hat and freedesktop.org glory has posted about his company litl&#8217;s latest product.

It&#8217;s an interesting concept, and could well take off, though the starting price of 700 USD seems a little steep to me. As Havoc mentions it&#8217;s all about build quality and attention to purpose when designing the thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>More unflash Flash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay so it&#8217;s been a while, but here comes another rant about Flash. Recently we launched a decent mapping integrated content site at ninemsn, http://rateyourplace.com.au/.
In cross browser testing we found that the autocomplete on IE6 just wasn&#8217;t working. A whole day&#8217;s troubleshooting later and we found out it was the CPU intensive flash animation (which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Essence of bing in a bottled water campaign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is it just me or is this ad on the platform at Wynyard station giving off a bing-esque vibe?

So it&#8217;s not too clear in my crappy iPhone photo, but the word above &#8220;STAY PUMPED&#8221; says, &#8217;search:&#8217;.

		<title>Codex Space Block &#8211; Easy access to Azure Blob Storage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I’ve been doing a little playing around recently with Azure, looking at pushing some of the more processor intensive worker units out into the cloud.
I know there’s been a whole bunch of discussion about whether ‘your data’ belongs out in the cloud and all that, and on that front I’m still undecided, but pushing [...]]]></description>

		<title>C# for the iPhone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Awesome post from an Aussie no less which is a non-trivial iPhone application using c# on monotouch.
The thing I love about monotouch is that it lets me leverage my .Net Skills (not just c#, but how the .Net run time works) and marries it to the low-level iPhone development infrastructure. The hardest part about getting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey gang,
Just a quick update to let you all know that I just updated the about me widget over at codex to be compatible with the new WordPress Widget API. I decided to contact Sam and get access to the repository on codex, rather than host the download on my blog locally. Feel free to [...]]]></description>
