		<title>Ack not working in Textmate?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an issue recently whereby Ack in my Textmate install would just hang with a spinner, yet still work just fine from the command line.
After some digging it transpires that this is related to me installing and mucking about with RVM, the Ruby version manager.  Essentially, Textmate isn&#8217;t a big fan of this, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do users &#8216;get&#8217; markup?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days, it doesn&#8217;t do to have a website that isn&#8217;t attractive, and easy to read, whilst making stuff easy to find.  Yet, increasingly, websites are not looked after any more by users with any sort of technical knowledge &#8211; they&#8217;re all pounding away in the Content Management system they&#8217;ve been given.
Thing is, there is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is it possible to be technology agnostic?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in the day when I started doing this technology web stuff, the industry was pretty small &#8211; there was probably less than 50 agencies total in the UK, and all were offering the same sort of thing:
&#8220;We do internet stuff&#8221;
Essentially, because of the massive gold rush to get a company presence online, these agencies [...]]]></description>

		<title>FCKEditor not working in Firefox for you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just came across a cracking little bug in the old FCKEditor 2 code that we use on a number of applications.  In the last few days we&#8217;ve noticed that it&#8217;s just randomly stopped working in Firefox across all applications that use the editor.
After doing a little digging, this was tracked down to a 2010 related [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I think that the Apple iPad is a very important product</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unless you&#8217;ve been living under a rock for the last 24 hours, you&#8217;re no doubt aware of the Apple iPad &#8211; a device which is essentially a large iPhone, but in a neater form factor, and aimed at casual web and media use rather than being an in-your-pocket computer.
From the initial press coverage, it would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simulating a slow connection in OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t realise how easy this was, but it is very easy to simulate a slow connection in Mac OS X, which will help with testing sites for users that don&#8217;t have the blazing fast connections that us developers tend to have.
Why would you want to do this?  Well, the primary use case I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alt-tabbing in Firefox 3.6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a little known fact that you can CTRL-TAB between tabs in Firefox (in a similar way to ALT-TAB on your Windows).  What&#8217;s even more unknown is that you can set up Firefox to give you the previews in Firefox too.

In order to do this pop into your address bar and go to about:config.  After [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Git as a Subversion client</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not many people know this, but if you work for a draconian empire who insists on using Subversion across the board and won&#8217;t let you move to something a little better like Git, then there&#8217;s actually a tool just for this task.
Built into Git is git-svn:

		<title>JQuery script loading gotcha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I was working on some javascript using JQuery 1.3.2 and the lightbox plugin Colorbox.
Whilst most things were working perfectly, one special case I had wasn&#8217;t playing well.  From the following code I was getting a number of errors:
