		<description><![CDATA[I was happy to see on the jQuery blog that Nokia and Microsoft are moving towards supporting jQuery. It&#8217;s a sweet little library that I use a lot to speed up JS development. Adobe CS4 boasts jQuery integration as well now, and if the number of job ads I&#8217;ve see which include a line like [...]]]></description>

By any other name would smell as sweet;
I don&#8217;t like making fields mandatory in web forms. Some people seem to love it. Forcing the user to complete every single field. But in most cases, I just don&#8217;t see the point. 
So the client says to me: [...]]]></description>

I was looking forward to some pirate fun, but I&#8217;m not sure the world is going to make it to the 19th. The Large Hadron Collider is due to be switched on September 10th, and it will destroy the world.
It&#8217;s been nice knowing you all

I just managed to save ~30% page load time per page load by writing a better query. That&#8217;s pretty reasonable.

Now there is The Coup.
Ok. Perhaps we need a better name. Feel free to suggest one.
But for some time there have been mumblings and grumblings about the future of ByteClub. Although it pains me to admit it, patronage has been in a steady decline for some time, and now only a [...]]]></description>
