		<title>Facebook&#8217;s long memory: Hotel California still in place&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I remarked in a previous tweet, people these days seem surprised when you say you&#8217;re not on The Book. So, as I came back after seeing a friend and yet another person asked me to add them as a friend on Facebook, I thought I might reconsider my previous position. So I signed up&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcamp Oxford 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend was Barcamp Oxford, and suffice it to say it was utterly fantastic. While a delicious ham cooks, I just thought I&#8217;d jot down some notes. The day for me started early on Saturday with a walk into town (Oxford&#8217;s buses being resoundingly useless), still it was a lovely sunny day and I had some [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to set up ProFTP, MySQL and Virtual Users</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ProFTP is a configurable FTP server available on most *nix platforms. I recently had the need to get this working and authenticating off a PHP maintained MySQL backend, and this post is primarily to aid my own memory should I ever have to do it again. Installing ProFTP In order to use MySQL as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Facebook question: is privacy dead?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I took the decision to delete my Facebook account. There has been a lot about Facebook and privacy in the tech press over the past few weeks &#8211; making live chats public, the ABC bug, criminalising violations of their terms of service, etc. Facebook has a clear habit of leaking data, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have just Open Sourced an &#8220;itch scratching&#8221; project I&#8217;ve been hacking on for a little while. So, without much further ado, I&#8217;d like to introduce you to Marcus Povey&#8217;s Multisite Elgg!

		<title>Digital Economy (#debill) passes, UK ceases to have one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Otto von Bismarck once said: &#8220;Laws are like sausages. It&#8217;s better not to see them being made.&#8221; To my mind, few things could have illustrated this clearer than yesterday&#8217;s vote on the Digital Economy bill, where &#8211; as the vote was finally called &#8211; the room quickly filled with MPs who had completely missed out [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011 Census</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the 27th of March next year all UK households will be compelled by law to fill in a Census. I admit that I get more worked up about this sort of thing more than most people. The arrogant presumption that we are somehow state property, the compulsion to complete it &#38; the sheer impertinence of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>#debill passed back to the commons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it would seem that despite firm opposition by the Liberal democrats the utter abortion that is the Digital Economy bill has made it through the house of lords and has been passed back to the commons. It is the government&#8217;s hope that MPs will not exercise their right to debate this bill further, and [...]]]></description>
