		<title>Beyond dogfood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t usually like to do a me-too post, but mizmo is right on again with her thoughts on jcm&#8217;s post. I raised a similar question at a town hall meeting earlier this year &#8211; basically, asking if Fedora is really suitable for day-to-day use as a primary desktop. My personal situation is much like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fedora people repos &amp; Sparkleshare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently a new system has been added to people.fp.o, the ability to host yum repositories. It&#8217;s not an equivalent of Ubuntu&#8217;s PPA system by any stretch of the imagination, but it&#8217;s another useful facility to have available. I&#8217;ve been testing this over the past few hours with a new package: SparkleShare. For those who&#8217;ve never [...]]]></description>

		<title>ActiveSync &amp; Bongo; patently a problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This evening I completed a new bit of code which has been uploaded to the bongo-web projects; it&#8217;s a Z-Push back-end and is only barely functional at this point: however, it works well enough that on my HTC Desire phone I can set up an ActiveSync account, it authenticates and synchronises contacts into my Bongo.

		<title>Bongo &amp; Roundcube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a little while since I&#8217;ve posted anything about Bongo; for much of this year there hasn&#8217;t been an awful lot to write about &#8211; we&#8217;ve all been pretty busy. However, yesterday we had a teleconference which is worth talking about. One of the problems we&#8217;ve had is that working on a number of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting rid of Google&#8217;s annoying &#8220;background image&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, Google have decided to put large images as the backdrop to their search engine. Not only are they large and grating, but they change over time and it&#8217;s horrible. I&#8217;ve turned this off by putting the following in Firefox&#8217;s userContent.css: @-moz-document domain(www.google.co.uk) { #fpdi { display: none !important; } body { background-color: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thunderbird: Fedora &amp; the future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s only been a couple of months since I last wrote about the future of Thunderbird, but I&#8217;ve been thinking about it again recently. The immediate issue which prompted me to write this was the disturbing news that a potentially bad crasher bug in Thunderbird has gone unfixed in Fedora even though a patch was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waiting for Goddard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Release time is coming again soon: Fedora 13 will be out in beta form in around a week, and it&#8217;s difficult not to get excited about this release. Fedora 12 went extremely well, at least in my opinion, and thus far my experience with 13 is that it will not be the unlucky-for-some release. For [...]]]></description>

		<title>On oData</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Occasionally there are things that I read about on the web which happen to fit perfectly with some need I have at the time: and &#8220;Open Data Protocol&#8221;, or just oData, is one of them. I think I got hip to this by reading Miguel&#8217;s post on oData, but looking around it has been mentioned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Thunderbird sustainable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tbird is a software product quite close to my heart: I think it&#8217;s important for a number of reasons, not least because it&#8217;s one of the few cross-platform mail clients that works well on Windows, and feels comfortable for use in a commercial context. Having Mozilla Foundation spin Thunderbird out to a new commercial entity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Google is really pulling out of China</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the news about Google demanding unfiltered search came out earlier today, I&#8217;ve speculated in a number of places that Google have broader reasons for wanting out of China, and that the issue of search &#8211; and, by extension, free speech &#8211; was not exactly #1 on their list of priorities. In particular, I mentioned [...]]]></description>
