		<title>Applicatr has been Launched</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick post announcing that I&#8217;ve finally managed to launch my new web application: Applicatr. While the name might sound a bit unusual, and the look isn&#8217;t all there yet, it&#8217;s pretty functional already (we&#8217;ve been using it to find the right graphical designer amongst other people).
For those of you that haven&#8217;t clicked the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Been working</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past few months I&#8217;ve been working on a startup, something very useful that fills in a need that businesses have.
Right now I&#8217;m deep into adding the finishing touches on it so that it can be released for consumption. This does not mean that it&#8217;s finished by any stretch of the imagination &#8211; I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Search is Old</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been using the Google search engine for many years now, and have found it to produce good search results, that is until recently. What&#8217;s been annoying me now is that I do frequent searches to find information related to fields that change frequently, such as Ruby and Rails, and the results that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deploying StaticMatic with Capistrano</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve developed a site using the simple StaticMatic website generator. StaticMatic is a nice and simple static website generator that uses HAML and SASS to describe the site content while also providing an easy way of using templates much like in Rails. However one thing that it does not do is provide an easy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Books List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve added a page that contains a list of books that I&#8217;ve found interesting from both a personal and professional standpoint. More importantly there are links to both Amazon.com (USA) and Amazon.co.uk (UK) in case anyone wants to buy them, of course I get a tiny cut if people do this.

		<title>Simple dataset import/export for Rails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing some Ruby on Rails development recently and one thing that&#8217;s bugged me a bit is how to deal with test data while you&#8217;re developing the application. Not data that is used just for testing, but data that lives in the development database that you use and fiddle around with while developing the [...]]]></description>

		<title>C++/CLI Snippet #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been programming in C++/CLI at work recently, and I thought I&#8217;d share a snippet/trick or two that I&#8217;ve learnt.
When working with the .Net framework in C++ you can come across places where it&#8217;s easier to use the Win32 functions to do a particular task rather than the .Net ones (or there&#8217;s no direct .Net [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game Engine Input</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny how things have come full circle in the Windows game development world &#8211; when it comes to processing player input of course. It used to be back in the day (I think around 2000 or so) that a game engine would use DirectInput to manage user input, but that has now been deprecated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game Engine Update</title>

Initially the goal was to make an engine and a small game an enter it into the TSumea AI programming challenge. However I wasn&#8217;t able to complete the entry in time as I really bit off far more than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Visual Studio Ctrl+Tab Difficulties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I&#8217;ve actually been using Visual Studio for a lot of development work at home I&#8217;ve encountered some annoyances. One of these has been that sometimes when switching between windows using the Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab shortcuts it gets stuck and refuses to take any more keyboard input until I click on it with the mouse.
