		<title>Probably moving personal blogs soon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like a true Irish gypsy type, I&#8217;m thinking  I&#8217;ll be moving my personal bloggy stuff elsewhere before the end of the year. &#8216;The Lancer&#8217; isn&#8217;t exactly descriptive of my evolving state of work, as I have shifted into start up / entrepreneur / podcaster / presenter mode with the magical, mystical Byteside.
Where next? Stay tooned! [...]]]></description>

		<title>New podcast: Midnight Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I now have a daily video podcast (4 days a week) covering the latest news in tech, games and geek stuff.
Would love it if you checked it out. http://www.midnightupdate.com/
Most of my online activities (that aren&#8217;t already paid for by the likes of news.com.au and Asylum) will probably be happening over there, while I might use [...]]]></description>

		<title>Very excited about Kiva</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week I did my first assignment as a volunteer Editor for Kiva.org, the microloan system helping people in difficult areas of the world access the funds they need to build businesses in their local communities.

		<title>Heeding the call: temp Editor at Kotaku Australia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
FYI, I&#8217;m spending a few weeks guest editing Kotaku Australia while they transition from Logan Booker to the as-yet-unnamed next permanent Editor. It&#8217;s fun being back into full-on games mode for a while! I&#8217;m generally in the middle of a big shift in regular beat, which is actually a nice thing to go through sometimes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Save Bletchley Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If there were a seven wonders of the science world, Bletchley Park would feature on the list. We&#8217;re talking about the greatest applied crytographic research the world has ever seen, breaking Enigma in World War II and saving Britain&#8217;s, and maybe the world&#8217;s, behind! And now it&#8217;s apparently under threat due to serious lack of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Anatomy of a Search Engine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With better encoding and compression of the Document Index, a high quality web search engine may fit onto a 7GB drive of a new PC.
The Anatomy of a Search Engine.
10 years of Google. Going back to look at some of these early discussion papers is always fun. The quote above feels like Google&#8217;s version of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back in Sydney, ready for what&#8217;s next</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Paid deadlines got the better of my IDF coverage last week, so &#8216;tomorrow&#8217; became &#8216;next week&#8217;.
Had a great interview with Justin Rattner which I&#8217;m now hoping to spin out into a big story. We&#8217;ll see how that goes.
New projects set to kick off in the next few weeks, though things are moving slowly with baby [...]]]></description>

		<title>In San Francisco for IDF</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Haven&#8217;t been to SF in seven years, so it&#8217;s nice to be back. Tomorrow sees Intel Developer Forum kick into full stride, and I&#8217;m thinking there is an awful lot to see that I won&#8217;t be writing up elsewhere. So, dear blog, I think this is a good time to dive back into a regular [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone launch fever with Gizmodo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
With Nick hitting Auckland to take part in &#8216;first in the world&#8217; coverage, the guys called me up to step back into the Gizmodo lair to cover the Sydney leg of the iPhone 3G launch action. This was before Optus said they were going at midnight, so at the time I thought it would be [...]]]></description>
