		<description><![CDATA[There are lots of things that you&#8217;d want computers to simplify for you &#8211; but the obvious methods for simplification don&#8217;t actually work. For example, finding out if a user entered email is actually valid. The description and code involved (see here and the monstrous chunk of code here) belies the apparent simplicity of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that was a spectacularly unamusing week, right there. So much so that a fairly crappy Monday (as per usual) is looking positively rosy in comparison. Some of the Ach stuff has been brewing for a while, so I thought I&#8217;d externalize the accumulated angst once and for all by writing about it. Elliptically, of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the botanical name is Capsicum frutescens but I could be mistaken on this. Google isn&#8217;t being very helpful.
Feel the burn, people.
Oh and if you don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about, then you&#8217;re well out of it.

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere around this time last year, I was posed with a problem. A bit of (personal) history here &#8211; I was doing some crucial (to my thesis, anyway) research and I was busy running experiments and writing papers and the like. By this time last year, I had finished those experiments, my results were decent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever wondered how confusing names are? Take programmes on TV, for example. Yesterday, I was trying to explain to chickenbutt that I had an evening of glazing over in front of the idiot box ahead of me. With roasted, salted peanuts to munch on. Fine. Fair enough, I go through periods of TV hate where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much (perhaps overly so) has been made of comment moderation, flaming and other aspects of administering online fora recently. Obviously, this is a great time for me to weigh in and reduce the signal to noise ratio even further.
See, I deal with more than just weird comments on my own site, I also need to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have no idea why, but people (usually undergrads) occasionally ask me for project advice. Specifically, what do I think they should do for their final year project and so on. Like so many things in life, that&#8217;s pretty much a no-win situation. I find it insanely difficult to propose a project idea that doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is related to a question I was asked earlier &#8211; am I the sole author of the (snarky and sometimes hilarious) tags on Achcharu? If that&#8217;s all you wanted to know, then the answer is no. But since I&#8217;m not content with a simple answer, a bit of history is necessary. Actually, no. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a school of thought out there, simply expressed, that says fewer features are better. This is classic 37 Signals ethos. If you&#8217;ve never heard of 37 Signals, well &#8230; long story short, they focus on minimalism in their online software offerings. Both figuratively and literally, you&#8217;re not missing much if you&#8217;ve not heard [...]]]></description>
