		<title>Asian Publishing Convention 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was honoured to be invited to speak at the Asian Publishing Convention again this year. Held in Ho Chi Minh City during 8-9 July and with over 200 delegates from more than 19 countries it was a superb opportunity to network with publishing professionals.
I think a key takeaway from the the event is better [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why IE6 isn&#8217;t going away any time soon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To be honest I&#8217;m sick of hearing &#8220;I hate IE6&#8243;, &#8220;Death to Adobe&#8221;, &#8220;All hail HTML5&#8243;, and whilst I agree in-part with the enthusiasm of those in the industry embracing standards and forging ahead there is of course a reason we are in the mess we are in, and that reason isn&#8217;t going away.
As mentioned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remote SSI Includes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been working on a project recently that includes header and footer bars much similar to Facebook style sites, but due to client requirements the site must remain accessible, which rules out using javascript for including the components.
On larger projects ESI has been great for doing remote includes, but due to no ESI support [...]]]></description>

		<title>eZ Publish Dev Tip #2 &#8211; Nodes and objects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of developers starting out with eZ Publish have a hard time and this is generally attributed to a steep learning curve. Whilst this is true, a lot of the initial issues are terminology related, unless you know what it is called, you can&#8217;t search for it &#8211; and in technical documentation like that [...]]]></description>

		<title>eZ Publish newsletter options</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the recent eZ Publish conference in January it was announced that eZ Newsletter would be phased out in support for CJW Newsletter, a new system to be certified by eZ Systems and built by several eZ Partners.
This is certainly good news as support and maintenance for eZ Newsletter has been sorely lacking for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>eZ Publish Dev Tip #1 &#8211; Removing index.php</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, this one seems to popup in the forums just all too often, and it&#8217;s not an easy one to address &#8211; because a lot depends on your server environment and setup.
Removing index.php is done through Apache mod_rewrite which in turn interprets your URLs and passes them through index.php silently while everything looks pretty in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally some sense in this flash nonsense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Daniel Dilger wrote a brilliant post on why Flash for the iPad and iPhone are simply not viable, ignoring hardware, battery and other constraints &#8211; it simply isn&#8217;t possible from a gesture perspective.
Hooray, finally someone is talking sense.

		<title>Graphic designers and the unknown medium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the title indicates this post is specifically targeted at the ongoing discussions that swept twitter yesterday regarding whether or not designers should have a hand in coding their designs.
Initially this was started by Elliot Jay Stocks who tweeted:
Honestly, I&#8217;m shocked that in 2010 I&#8217;m still coming across &#8216;web designers&#8217; who can&#8217;t code their own [...]]]></description>

		<title>No promises, no guarantees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something that every technology person comes across is budget and time overruns. Something like 80+% of technical projects run over time. 
Really? Are you surprised? I&#8217;m not. No matter how much pre-planning and thought you put into a project, no matter the resources, staffing and waterfall diagrams to back it up, technical projects are at [...]]]></description>

For those of us who want to override one specific thing in the Wordpress core with an enhancement, such as my archive listing, we have our changes overriden with each update.

		<title>eZ Publish Dev Tips</title>

I would like to commit to doing it daily, but I don&#8217;t think about my blog that often &#8211; so perhaps every couple of days.

		<title>Google Buzz the mashup</title>

Among it are a number of updates and perhaps one of those most eagerly awaited would be an administration interface refresh, something which hasn&#8217;t happened since eZ Publish [...]]]></description>

		<title>Macbook Pro cooling solutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years of searching the best Macbook Pro cooling solution I have come across is a glass topped desk sitting directly underneath a refrigerated cooling unit. That keeps the temp down &#8211; and keeps the room cool as well. 
Possibly not the most appropriate solution for cooling your laptop, but I&#8217;ll take whatever works.

When you are forced to take a holiday from your &#8220;holiday&#8221; you know that you are still too connected to work.
Definitely something I will be working on this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bug 11577</title>

For anyone working with eZ Publish multiplexers and issues with child processes cancelling your publish operation check out the patches at issues.ez.no/11577, hopefully this will make it into the next release.
