		<title>I have forked Charbot Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago Libby Miller wrote Charbot Green, a BBC Radio 4 announcement bot for Twitter. It&#8217;s written in JRuby, uses the H2 database and the source code is in SVN here.

		<title>Adding a bookmark to an Android Home screen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to add a link to a URL to the home screen on the iPhone. When you&#8217;re looking at a web page, just hit &#8220;+&#8221; and select &#8220;Add to Home Screen&#8221;. On Android it&#8217;s slightly more involved:

Bookmark the page you want to add to a home screen

		<title>Setting up the Play framework on Google App Engine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Play framework is the most fun I&#8217;ve had developing Java web applications. It&#8217;s fast, natural, comes with a rails-like scaffolding for CRUD operations on your model, has built-in Selenium testing as well as unit and functional tests, and most importantly Just Works.
It also deploys natively onto Google App Engine, but this isn&#8217;t described very [...]]]></description>

		<title>No more NewsGator, no Google Reader API</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So everyone heard earlier this week that NewsGator is shutting down their aggregator synchronising service and getting everyone to switch to Google Reader.
There are two big problems for me:

Google Reader does not support authenticated feeds, NewsGator does
Google Reader does not have an officially documented API, NewsGator does

There are also other issues of course, like Google [...]]]></description>

I’d like to see a personal dashboard being displayed through one of those digital wifi photo frames attached to the inside of my front door, so I can see the appointments my wife and I have got that day on my way out, plus other [...]]]></description>

I feel slightly proud about that.

		<title>HTML 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t understand the recent hullaballoo over HTML 5. Its creation has been going on for years, and yet, suddenly it appears as though hundreds of supposed professionals in the field have only just heard of it because Jeffry Zeldman wrote a blog post. Even the WaSP has an interview with Hixie about it back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Github worries me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not that keen on git (for mostly aesthetic reasons although I suspect I&#8217;ll have to get over this soon), and github makes me jump through a couple of hoops too many to get up and running for the first time, but those aren&#8217;t things that worry me.
I&#8217;m worried about github going away.
Specifically I&#8217;m worried [...]]]></description>
