		<title>Golf Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A really touching short film (4 minutes 56 seconds) about a fella who holds a golf sale sign on London&#8217;s busy Oxford Street.
According to London&#8217;s Time Out magazine:
The &#8216;Golf Sale&#8217; board guys, however, are already starting to disappear and, from September [2007], will be refused licences. &#8220;They are just more visual clutter; we don’t think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 synhronizing&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I installed Windows 7 Professional (32-bit) on my main desktop PC the other week, having been using the Release Candidate on and off on both my main PC and one of our laptops for a good few months.
What an improvement over Windows XP (of which I have been a fan for many a year); and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fail Whale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s a sight you don&#8217;t see as often as you used to, the infamous Twitter Fail Whale.
Is Twitter down is incorrectly reporting: No. (But then it depends on what it&#8217;s doing to determine that answer.  The Fail Whale is showing so there&#8217;s something being served from the Twitter servers.)
Down for everyone or just me [...]]]></description>

Now, there&#8217;s a happy sight: all 3 main computers at Potting Shed HQ happily talking to one another on the local area network.
The two laptops (Gareth-laptop and Jane-laptop) are both running Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100), the desktop (Study) is still running Windows XP SP3.
At first my laptop wouldn&#8217;t appear in the list of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cut up your credit cards the right way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One of the most useful devices I have in my study is my trusty Fellowes cross-cut shredder.
Sadly it&#8217;s not quite so hardcore that it handles CD-ROMs or credit cards but here&#8217;s a video to show you how to cut up your credit cards so that they cannot be used to glean any personal data from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dealing with spam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s a really interesting article in this month&#8217;s PC Plus magazine about the war against spam which gave me the impetus to try to do something about those annoying spam messages that appear in my inbox with my email address in the &#8216;from&#8217; field, like this:
123greetings.com [gareth@garethjmsaunders.co.uk]
Anti-spam software
I use Cloudmark Desktop, a spam blocking add-in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Mobile 6.1 broke my life!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
About 3-4 weeks ago my beloved O2 Xda Orbit phone started to act erratically, randomly switching itself off according to its own unfathomable set of rules.  It was okay when plugged in, but it was getting increasingly impractical pulling an extension cable along Market Street when I went out for lunch.
I figured that resetting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 &#8211; the OS for getting things done!</title>

Screenshot of the Ultramon toolbar spanning two monitors in Windows 7 RC (Build 7100).
This evening &#8212; while I should have been cycling around the back roads of the East Neuk of Fife or repeatedly lifting moulded discs of iron &#8212; I instead sat in front of my main desktop PC, booted into the Windows 7 [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is a browser?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is something I come across quite often in my job, when I ask people what browser they use. A lot of people genuinely don&#8217;t know. The most recent answers I had were: &#8220;Windows?&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8217;ve got Office, is that it?&#8221;
What is a browser?
For those who&#8217;re unsure, a browser &#8212; or a Web browser &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life with Reuben and Joshua</title>

Joshua (left) with Reuben, taken on 26 April 2009.
I can hardly believe that it&#8217;s been nearly 7 months since Reuben and Joshua were born.  (It will be 7 calendar months a week tomorrow.)  On the whole, it&#8217;s been a really amazing journey so far.
I&#8217;ve often thought that I should be writing this down, [...]]]></description>
