		<title>Grisoft join the &#8220;Lets piss everyone off&#8221; Brigade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For many years now, I&#8217;ve been a fan of Grisoft. They produce a superb - and free! - anti-virus utility for Windows - AVG - which I has kept my home PCs virus free without fail. Then version 8 appeared&#8230;
About a month ago, my installation of AVG prompted me to upgrade to version 8. As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unless you live under a rock (or care not for technology), you will be aware that the 17th June is the official Firefox 3 download day. If like me, you have been patiently watching for it to be available for download ever since 00:01 on the 17th in Tonga (which is bizarrely 13 hours ahead [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Firefox&#8217;s Awesome Bar really that awesome?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the release of the Firefox 3 RC1 recently, I decided it was time to try out the new browser. I did so with trepidation, mainly due to worries over which add-ons I&#8217;d lose. Initially, it seemed a no-hoper as Tab Mix Plus and the del.icio.us add-ons weren&#8217;t supported. To my mind, Tab Mix Plus [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Java show Microsoft the way to .NET 4?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having recently started a new job that is Java &#38; ActionScript-centred (as opposed to my old .NET &#38; ActionScript-centred job), I&#8217;ve been trying to catch up with the world of Java. Last time I used the latter was back around the turn of the century when Sun hit upon the cunning plan of calling a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Microsoft released a new Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the .NET Task Parallel Library. The new release has a brand new scheduler that repleaces the pretty crude protottype scheduler found in the December 2007 CTP.

		<title>What was the point of the OOXML battle exactly?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unless you have been living in a cave for the last year (or have no interest in technology; in which case why are you reading this?), you will no doubt have heard about the battle between Microsoft and &#8220;open source advocates&#8221; (in reality, Sun &#38; IBM) over getting OOXML ratified by the ISO/IEC.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>.NET is NOT to blame!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been following the World Wide Telescope project with interest ever since Robert Scoble made a bit of an arse of himself over the subject. Since I was really impressed with the ease of install and the beauty of the product, I gushed in near fanboy-style about it when it went into beta release [...]]]></description>

I swapped a 45 minute drive through the traffic jams of the A27 for a traffic jam on the A22 due to an overturned lorry. Doh! Luckily though I was only delayed by 10 minutes.

Go to this page before June 27th 2008, submit your name and you are done. As an added bonus, kids (and me!) get a lovely certificate to show their name [...]]]></description>
