		<title>Squeezebox Extension for Google Chrome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a Squeezebox (Wireless Network Music Player) years ago. It&#8217;s got a web interface where you can view your music collection, add tracks to a playlist, change the volume etc&#8230; and I wanted a quick way to access it from my browser which didn&#8217;t mean navigating away from the page I was viewing. So, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merging Facebook Contacts with Phone Contacts on Android</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently tidying up some &#8220;duplicate&#8221; entries in my mobile phonebook because when my phone downloaded all my contacts from Facebook, it didn&#8217;t link them all. For some reason you can&#8217;t just add a mobile number or any additional information to the Facebook contact, so I was looking for a way to merge the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Middle Click Taskbar Icons to Close Windows 7 Programs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Windows 7 includes a new feature which allows you to hover over your taskbar icons, then middle click the thumbnail to close the program (similar functionality to closing Firefox tabs etc with a middle click). It annoyed me slightly having to click the thumbnail, rather than just being able to middle click the taskbar icon [...]]]></description>

		<title>PS3 Media Server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently gave in to temptation and bought a PS3. Got a package with InFamous, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2. Loving it so far, definitely still keeping the Xbox 360 as well though. Anyway, onto the real reason I was posting this. I&#8217;ve been looking for ages now for something that would play MKV files [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ever wanted to make your own movie?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It never ceases to amaze me the ideas people come up with when they&#8217;re in need of money for someone or something. Recently saw this site buyacredit. It&#8217;s an idea conjured up by three guys that wanted to make a movie, basically you pay to have your name put on the end credits, in turn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark Eye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dark Eye, originally uploaded by Tiestarian. Just testing out the blog functionality from Flickr. Only recently started using Flickr to host my photos but it&#8217;s really nice so far. Much easier than creating a gallery manually anyway, and hopefully they&#8217;ll get more views on there. This is a picture of my Mum&#8217;s dog. Taken with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pixario &#8211; 3D Animation Based on Mario</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is another assignment I had to do for uni. We had to use a lamp similar to the one you see at the start of Pixar movies and animate it in any way we wanted. I decided to do a Mario style theme! It&#8217;s my first ever animation so it&#8217;s still very rough around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spotify &#8211; Stream Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found another cool application the other day, it&#8217;s similar to Last.fm in the fact you can stream music and find similar artists you might enjoy etc. You can also stream full albums, add music to a queue and create playlists. The quality isn&#8217;t perfect but it&#8217;s listenable, much better than most free &#8220;web&#8221; services. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Live TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just found a site where you can stream TV. It&#8217;s live and totally free.. well apart from the TV license fee of course *cough*. I really wish this had been available last year when I had crap reception most of the time! TVCatchup &#8211; Free, Live TV Streams]]></description>
