		<title>Changing the default &#8220;From:&#8221; email address for emails sent via PHP on Linux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had to solve this problem a couple of times at least, and it&#8217;s quite a common task, so I thought I&#8217;d document it here.
When you send emails to users of your site through using the PHP mail() function, they will sometimes turn up in the mailbox of customers of your site with the following [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shell scripts for converting between Unix and Windows text file formats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using these shell scripts I wrote to convert between unix and windows text file formats. They seem to work well without any problems. If you put them in the /usr/sbin/ directory, they will be accessible on the path of the linux admin account root.
/usr/sbin/unix2win
#!/bin/bash

		<title>Site Redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just updated the design of this blog, re-enabled comments and added a contact tab. I&#8217;ve installed a strong anti-spam comment filter, but you should now be able to comment on entries. I&#8217;ve also changed the layout of things slightly, and made it easier to read.

		<title>PHP Sample &#8211; HTML Page Fetcher and Parser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in 2008, I wrote a PHP class that fetched an arbitary URL, parsed it, and coverted it into an PHP object with different attributes for the different elements of the page. I recently updated it and sent it along to a company that wanted a programming example to show I could code in PHP.
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Passed the W3Schools PHP Certification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As a break from my contract work, I took the W3Schools PHP Certification. I didn&#8217;t do any revision, which probably wasn&#8217;t wise. It was a bit more difficult than I thought, but I passed still.

		<title>Config files for the Windows version of VIM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I encountered problems configuring the windows version of the popular text editor VIM, so I thought I&#8217;d write up a quick post talk about configuration files under the Windows version, if anyone becomes stuck like I did. I use Linux, OSX and Windows on a day-to-day basis, and VIM as a text editor for [...]]]></description>

		<title>oDesk and Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been so busy working lately, I&#8217;ve hardly had time to update this website. On top of other things, I&#8217;ve just started freelancing as a contractor on oDesk &#8211; which actually seems quite a good way of getting paid for working on projects at home. Here is my current oDesk profile:

		<title>Speed Climbing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to take a break from the purely technical posts to get more people to see this video. Here the late Dan Osman speed-climbs a cliff without any safety equipment.

Risky? Just a bit. A few years later he lost his life during a similar attempt. But no-one can doubt the guts required, and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Regex in VIM.. simple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are more than a gazillion ways to use regexs. I am sure they are each very useful for their own subset of problems. The sheer variety can be highly confusing and scary for a lot of people though, and you only need to use a few approaches to accomplish most text-editing tasks.
Here is a [...]]]></description>
