		<title>Transferring TFL cycle routes to Android</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Transport for London have recently started offering a very handy cycle journey planner on their site, great &#8211; but it&#8217;d be much more handy in interactive form on my Android phone. Here&#8217;s a quick guide on how to do that: 1) Plan your route, then click upload to GPS device (top right). This will give you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prototyping with jsFiddle.net</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big fan of applications that do a simple thing well; jsFiddle.net is an innovative environment to work on HTML, CSS and JavaScript in the browser. Coded by Piotr Zalewa and designed by Oskar Krawczyk, it&#8217;s a tool I&#8217;ve found really useful for me and my team &#8211; the simple four-pane layout is brilliantly suited to front-end [...]]]></description>

		<title>IE Bug: Fading animation makes text render without anti-aliasing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Affects: IE6, IE7 Description When using jQuery to fade elements, Internet Explorer will remove anti-aliasing from text (causing it to appear pixelated) . Workaround Remove the &#8216;filter&#8217; attribute used by IE to fade elements once the fade is complete (view the full post to read the code) Code based on GBegen&#8217;s comment on Stack Overflow [...]]]></description>

		<title>IE Bug: Fading does not work on child elements that have position rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Affects: IE 8 Description When using jQuery or similar to fade an element (animate its opacity) IE 8 does not fade child elements that have any &#8216;position&#8217; property set (&#8216;relative&#8217;, &#8216;absolute&#8217;, etc). Workaround Removing position rules will work, but presumably you&#8217;re using them to, well position stuff. The only workaround I have found is to [...]]]></description>

		<title>IE bug: 1px vertical margin around input fields</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Affects: IE7, IE8 Description Input fields wrapped with an inline element will render with an extra 1 pixel margin above and below, regardless of the &#8216;margin&#8217; property set in the CSS rule. Workaround 1) Use a conditional comment or similar to serve a margin rule to IE that is 1px less than desired. So for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Usable multiple-selection with checkbox lists and jQuery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are two out-of-the-box methods for multiple selection in HTML: checkboxes and the &#60;select&#62; tag. Neither are perfect &#8211; I&#8217;ll be discussing why, and proposing a sort of mashup of the best aspects of both, using jQuery. The vanilla HTML implementations of these two methods are shown below: 1) Select tag: Bad Off the Wall [...]]]></description>

		<title>Uploading images and making thumbnails with web.py and PIL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ran into an issue today while trying to implement image uploads. It&#8217;s a very basic implementation: taking files from a POST request, copying them to a local folder, and then making thumbnails of them. I started with the file upload tutorial in the web.py cookbook. The problem I was getting was that the Python [...]]]></description>

		<title>Passing variables from a child template to a parent in Mako</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After looking at Web.py&#8217;s own templating system, and considering Cheetah, I&#8217;ve ended up going with Mako for now. So far I&#8217;ve found it very straightforward, with some powerful-looking features to expand into in the future. One of the great features is template inheritance &#8211; but I hit an issue recently with passing a variable from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making a copy of a SQLAlchemy object</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Should that be &#8216;a&#8217; or &#8216;an&#8217; SQLAlchemy object? My current CMS project is based on creating templates in the back-end, and then using these to produce &#8216;inherited&#8217; objects with the same attributes. I quickly found that it&#8217;s surprisingly tricky to grab a template object using SQLAlchemy, and copy it into a similar, but separate, entity. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Having cake and also eating it: Compiz and dual-head on an ATI HD 2600</title>

To recap &#8211; my system is set up like this: HP 8510p laptop with an ATI HD 2600 mobility card running Ubuntu 8.04 with a 1680&#215;1050 screen, often connected to [...]]]></description>
