		<title>The IT PRO contributor/traffic analysis project</title>

After one small comment on Twitter about my day spent sweating over spreadsheets, it seems that many people within the IT publishing and PR world are very interested in what I was doing.
Every few months I perform what I call a contributor/traffic analysis. This involves generating a report from the main IT PRO site stats [...]]]></description>

		<title>New home shirt, La La La, New sponsor, La La La!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Behold the new QPR home shirt for the 2008/09 season:

As you will see (and counter to some of the speculation that has been buzzing around the net) it is still blue and white hoops. It also features a new sponsor, the nice people at Gulf Air, West London&#8217;s favourite airline.
This is a huge improvement on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I&#8217;ve Learned This Week&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I know its only Monday, but that doesn’t mean I can’t resurrect my favourite list-based rant format. Christ knows I need something to get me motivated today:

That study is not going to tidy itself.
90 per cent of the world is populated by very nice people
5 per cent are idiots
3 per cent voted for Bush [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s the perfect gift for birthdays, christenings, grduation, or just a good read if you are stoned or just miss the greatest decade since we all realised the world isn&#8217;t flat.

		<description><![CDATA[More thoughts on the mobile phone situation:
Current Phone
I&#8217;m currently using an Apple iPhone (work thing) and a Samsung SGH-i320 (personal phone). It is the Samsung I want to replace. The iPhone is brilliant, it rocks - let&#8217;s just leave it there.
The Samsung is a good phone as well, even though it is Windows Mobile. Unfortunately, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok - here&#8217;s the thing. I need a new phone, and need it in a bit of a hurry (just a handset, not looking to change providers or sign up for a new contract etc at this stage).

Needs to be a smartphone, rather than a basic phone
3G not essential, but would be nice
Must have Bluetooth, [...]]]></description>

Tomorrow (May 1st) is the London Mayoral election. If, like me, you live within the boundaries of Greater London, please do not ruin it for the rest of us by voting for the leftie Communist Newt-toucher Ken Livingstone or the damp lettuce-leaf ineffective copper Brian Paddick. Vote for Boris Johnson.

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in years (far longer than I can actually remember for sure), I&#8217;ve forgotten to take my mobile phone with me. As I am now half way along my journey to work, this means I will be separated from my phone until at least 7pm today.

Given the amount of data security blunders by government agencies, maybe some basic instruction in common sense isn&#8217;t a bad idea.

Coca Cola is DOS Compatible in Spain
Originally uploaded by Ewan Spence.

Just finished a Skype chat with Ewan Spence, who is over in Spain at a media conference. Our VoIP call was interrupted by Ewan cracking up, when he spotted this DOS reference on the bottle of Coke we was chugging.
Yes, it&#8217;s a geek joke - [...]]]></description>

In case you haven&#8217;t seen any of the early unboxing or disassembly pics, here&#8217;s one of the better pics of Apple&#8217;s latest laptop stripped down to its component parts.
As you can see, it&#8217;s another example of industrial packaging done well, with the very thin casing of the MacBook Air heavily packed with kit, while the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m having a bit of an iPod clear-out, having realised that I own more iPods than I could possibly make use of.
The stuff is listed on eBay, and all proceeds will be used to buy shiny new Apple items, such as a 160GB iPod Classic, and if there&#8217;s anything left over, a second composite video [...]]]></description>

The Apple iTunes movie service gets off the ground properly (around 1,000 standard definition titles/around 100 high definition titles) in just under two weeks in the US.

I&#8217;ll be using CoverItLive for this particular challenge, which will also be a first, so fingers crossed.
