		<title>VP8 rumblings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you all know by now, exciting moves from Google on the WebM project have lead to them open-sourcing On2&#8242;s VP8 codec to provide a freely available video codec for HTML5 content. Collabora Multimedia worked with Entropy Wave to add support to GStreamer for the new codec from day 1, and I was really happy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telepathy Q&amp;A from the Boston GNOME Summit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first Telepathy session session on Saturday evening at the Boston GNOME Summit was very much of a Q&#38;A where myself and Will answered various technical and roadmap issues from a handful of developers and downstream distributors. It showed me that there&#8217;s a fair amount of roadmap information we should do better at communicating outside [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boston GNOME Summit 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent this weekend in Boston for the annual GNOME summit. I really enjoyed it this year, although there were fewer attendees than previously it felt very focussed and productive. There&#8217;s some cool stuff going on, and it&#8217;s always great to catch up with all of the usual free software suspects in Boston. Some highlights [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s the day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If Collabora has seemed quiet recently, it&#8217;s because we&#8217;ve been slaving away on various parts of a really awesome project, which we can finally start talking about. Maemo 5 is coming! \o\ \o/ /o/]]></description>

		<title>Top acts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been very impressed several times in the past few months when I&#8217;ve discovered awesome new top-like utilities. I&#8217;m probably being slow on the uptake and everyone else but me knows about these, but in case its not just me thats been stuck in the &#8217;70s: htop A much-needed refresh of oldschool top, this still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;&#8230; all programs that interact with e-mail are broken in one way or another. Please be careful.&#8221; &#8211; Lars Wirzenius I seem to have a cunning knack of finding problems with configuring server software, particularly involving e-mail, where a) I can&#8217;t find answers in Google, b) most people I go and ask for help say [...]]]></description>

		<title>Auctions, Beards, Conferences and Devils</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the last day of the most awesome linux.conf.au 2009 conference in Hobart, Tasmania. I&#8217;ve just witnessed the a room full of 500 people sit with baited breath as Linus wielded a set of clippers to shave Bdale Garbee&#8216;s beard, followed by Bdale (with a razor with 3 more blades than last time he shaved, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quitclock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Apologies in advance for the shameless plug.) It&#8217;s possibly a little late to talk about new year&#8217;s resolutions, but if anyone is a Facebook user and has given up smoking (or plans to), you might be interested in Quitclock. My brother Alastair is a health editor for the Bupa private health insurance company, and thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>My new font rendering technique is unstoppable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know it&#8217;s time to call it a day and write your talk tomorrow when&#8230; I just upgraded Gtk+, Cairo and Pango to the versions in Debian experimental while I was upgrading some Telepathy packages, and got this the next time I loaded OO.o.
