		<title>Web Directions South 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day before yesterday i flew from Darwin to Sydney for the Web Directions South conference. It was about 30° when i left Darwin, at 7 o&#8217;clock that morning, but when i arrived in Sydney it was a chilly 17°, which was a bit of a shock to my system.
The conference was in the convention [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fedora 11 on a Samsung N140</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got myself a Samsung N140 netbook a couple of days ago, as i&#8217;m going back to Australia for a couple of months soon and i don&#8217;t want to have to drag my heavy old Thinkpad around with me. I&#8217;m likely to have to do some web development work while i&#8217;m there, so i wanted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress Plugin Dependency Checking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use the excellent NextGen Gallery to manage the images in several web sites. But it uses javascript to display the individual full-size images, and that&#8217;s no use for search engine optimization, so i&#8217;m writing a plugin to produce a templateable HTML front end for it.
That plugin obviously requires NextGen Gallery to be installed &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nokia 5800 Touch Screen Smartphone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just bought my first Symbian mobile &#8211; a Nokia 5800. I considered the geekier option of getting the android-powered G2, which was due to be released about the same time by Vodafone, but after a bit of consideration i eventually decided on the Nokia. There were a couple of reasons for that: firstly  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving From Drupal Back To Wordpress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As i wrote in a previous post, i converted this blog from Wordpress to Drupal a couple of months back &#8211; to get some experience of working with Drupal. But i never liked Drupal and i rapidly came to the conclusion that it&#8217;s really not a good platform for a standalone blog. Wordpress beats it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making A Wordpress Theme</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a blog post about his &#8220;Starkers&#8221; Wordpress theme, designer Elliot Jay Stocks talks about how he used to approach designing for Wordpress. He would start with the default theme and remove the bits he didn&#8217;t need. That was pretty much how i started off doing it myself &#8211; until it struck me i was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Object Oriented PHP With CodeIgniter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think i had the basic idea about object oriented programming back in the early 80s &#8211; when i was an assembler programmer. Back then, i tried to make my code as modular and reusable as possible. But, in those days, at least, writing in assembly language didn&#8217;t give you much scope for optimising code [...]]]></description>

		<title>Optimising Ajax Search Suggestions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While i was watching Douglas Crockford&#8217;s talk on Ajax performance on the Yahoo developer network site yesterday, it occurred to me that the Ajax dropdown search suggestion list i wrote for a client&#8217;s site (mentioned in an earlier blog post) was rather inefficient in the way it handled the XMLHTTP requests.
When a user typed two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Passing Variables From PHP To Javascript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you need to pass variables &#8211; probably URL parameters &#8211; to a JavaScript script in a separate file that&#8217;s being called from a web page. I looked at a few different solutions on the web, but i didn&#8217;t find anything i liked, so i worked out my own approach.
Instead of calling my JavaScript script [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ajax Search Suggestions Dropdown List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently built a site for a client who sells records and CDs and wanted his catalogue of over ten thousand items available for purchase from his site. I used mysql and php for the database handling side of things and, naturally, i suggested a search box to make it easier for customers to find [...]]]></description>
