		<title>Twitter Wordle for 2011</title>

		<title>Twitter and some statistics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two and a bit months ago, I started archiving my friends timeline on Twitter into a SQLite database for posterity (I didn&#8217;t really like the idea that it just vanishes after a while).
It then occurred to me earlier that I didn&#8217;t actually know how many tweets I read in two months&#8230; the answer appears to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ubuntu 9.10 on G4 Cube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, I acquired a G4 Cube off Canterbury Freecycle. Having tried to install Tiger and Leopard on it (all the PPC media I could find) and neither working, I decided to try Ubuntu. 
As it&#8217;s rather old (2001) and doesn&#8217;t have much memory in it (128M) and is only a 450MHz G4 (slow!) [...]]]></description>

		<title>When will they learn? :-(</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They&#8217;re at it again. When will they learn that people (well, some people) will not roll over and let their civil liberties in a &#8220;free nation&#8221; be eroded away?
Sent to my MP today:
Dear Julian Brazier,
My apologies for taking up yet more of your time, however our

		<title>Pan Fried Lamb&#8217;s Heart with White Wine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I made something new (for me, anyway) as a kind of experiment (I seem to have been doing this a bit recently) with some Lamb&#8217;s Heart (this comes in nice and cheap as people don&#8217;t tend to want to buy something they can identify&#8230; usually about £1.50 for three which is enough for 2-3 [...]]]></description>
