		<title>JSoup Method for Page Scraping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently in the process of writing a web scraper for the forums on Gaia Online.

		<title>Disabling Control-Enter and Control-B shortcut keys in Outlook 2003</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At work, I still have to use Windows XP and Outlook 2003. I don&#8217;t particually mind this, except when I draft an email to someone and accidently I press Control-B instead of Control-V. Control-B will go ahead and send your partially composed email, resulting in some embarassment as you have to tell everyone to disregard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Directory names not visable under ls? Change your colours.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a problem I frequently encouter on Redhat/Fedora/CentOS systems with the output of the ls command. Under those distributions, the default setup is to display directories in a very dark colour. If you usually use a white foreground and a black background on your terminal client (such as Putty) then you will struggle to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scraping Gumtree Property Adverts with Python and BeautifulSoup</title>

		<title>&#8216;Weather Forecast&#8217; Calendar Service in PHP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The BBC provide 3 day weather RSS feeds for most locations in the UK. I thought it would be interesting to create a web service to turn the weather feed into calendar feed format, so I could have a constantly updated forecast of the next 3 days of weather mapped on to my iPhone’s calendar.

		<title>Writing simple email alerts in PHP with MagpieRSS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote an email alerter that sends me an email whenever the upcoming temperature may dip below freezing. It uses the Magpie RSS reader to pull down a 3 day weather forecast that is provided for my area in RSS form by the BBC weather site.
