In the past, I&#8217;ve ranted about the necessity for these, given that I have needed to fight software libraries which fail mysteriously when no internet connectivity is present (yes, they check for the existence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, ICANN switched the root servers over to IPv6 a few days ago. This is a big deal, because although IPv6 has been &#8220;officially&#8221; deployed since 1999, adoption has been extremely slow. The most commonly used existing addressing scheme (IPv4) is estimated to run out in 2-3 years. Then again, analysts have been screaming about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this story, a scientist (or several thousand) huddle in a dusty laboratory somewhere. After years of hard work (aided and abetted by a manservant with a Slavic name and questionable clothing tastes); the scientist finally makes a breakthrough discovery. &#8220;It&#8217;s alive, [name of Slavic origin]&#8220;; he shrieks in triumph. Only the discovery happens to [...]]]></description>

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[In any social encounter of significance, there are always things that I really shouldn&#8217;t say. No matter how pithy or accurate those observations may be, opening my cakehole inevitably leads to recriminations, raised eyebrows and the descent of an uneasy silence on the conversation (also see: dropping a clanger, putting your foot in it, open [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another act in the umpteenth rehashing of &#8220;Yes, I&#8217;m a [random nationality]. My opinions &#8211; they are like a single falling leaf in autumn&#8221; kicked off recently. I&#8217;m slightly nonplussed why people actually think this is worth nattering on about any longer. Is this the same sort of misplaced optimism that has a website [...]]]></description>

All of you guys are idiots. Really. Just go away.
You just blinked at that and kept [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First there was the political compass (where I am completely and utterly smack dab in the center), now there is apparently the new political compass. We were discussing the right-wing, left-wing nature of posts and topics in the lkblagozphere (term used without permission) and I displayed my usual bipartisan tendencies. I call this being a [...]]]></description>

There was also the coup attempt in Papua New Guinea, Soundgarden breaking up, the ascent of Tony Blair, Hong Kong handover, some random blonde got killed in a car crash, some random Aussie committed suicide. Ok, so a fair few events but [...]]]></description>
