		<title>Transport for London&#8217;s random money generator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If, like me, you have a travelcard and pay as you go on the same Oyster card, you maye recently have started to notice odd amounts being deducted from your card&#8217;s pay as you go balance.
This is because those clever Oyster card people, who have been paid millions of pounds to implement pay as you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Python Magento example code now on Google Code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using Python with Magento for small administrative tasks for a couple of months now, and I&#8217;ve created a library of useful / example functions that I&#8217;d be happy to share and extend. These are now hosted at Google Code, at this URL: http://code.google.com/p/python-magento/
Feel free to comment, extend, ask for extra functions and such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m attending this lecture tonight. If there&#8217;s anything exciting to discuss, I&#8217;ll write about it again. In the meantime, the organisers gave me this rather interesting tag to include in my blog:

		<title>Installing Magento Enterprise stand-alone on OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often have to demonstrate Magento Enterprise to clients and potential clients when I go to visit them, and sometimes that&#8217;s difficult, because I can&#8217;t connect my laptop to the Internet very easily from their offices. It&#8217;d be easier from Starbucks, where I get free wi-fi, and generally the coffee&#8217;s better, but some clients don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter picture search</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://www.twpxsearch.com/index.py?q=%23uksnow is the new URL for my mash-up, which pulls pictures from Twitpic for specific search terms on Twitter. The example in the URL shows some great images from the current uk snow storms. Snow daleks seem popular this year.

		<title>Which Operating System would you choose?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The tube tunnels are full of posters showing people who apparently helped design Windows 7. Which is probably why stories like this one appear from time to time. If you let members of the public design your operating system, it probably would be better than Windows, where even the version number is a hack. There [...]]]></description>

		<title>BBC&#8217;s Canvas Prototype &#8211; the future of internet TV?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This movie shows a demonstration of what TV on the Internet could look like in the near future. While watching a live program, the viewer can switch to classic archive footage, follow Twitter conversation about the program they&#8217;re watching, interact with a sponsor (not on the BBC, of course) and there is a platform for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stats from bit.ly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning&#8217;s fascinating fact is about the bit.ly URL shortening service:
If you have a bit.ly link, for example http://bit.ly/4dWnCu
you can insert &#8216;info&#8217; into the URL thus:
http://bit.ly/info/4dWnCu
to get all sorts of facts and figures, like how many clicks that link has had, which sites are referring using it, who&#8217;s tweeting about that particular URL, and that [...]]]></description>
