		<title>death of a rubygem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent many hours over the last 6 months or so working on a ruby gem called hearken. I listen to a lot of music and have found every graphical music player very poor at handling large music collections and &#8230; <a href="http://mark.ryall.name/blog/2011/10/08/death-of-a-rubygem/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>decade retrospective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been around a decade since I first started getting paid specifically to write software.  It seems a reasonable time to look back and speculate about the things that i&#8217;ve realised over that time. One person&#8217;s personal revelations almost never &#8230; <a href="http://mark.ryall.name/blog/2009/08/30/decade-retrospective/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>games maisie likes to play</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My daughter Maisie makes up some interesting games so I thought I should document a few of them. These games involve some fairly interminable repetition but I&#8217;m sure it won&#8217;t be long at all before I look back and really &#8230; <a href="http://mark.ryall.name/blog/2009/01/19/games-maisie-likes-to-play/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The Dodos &#8211; Visitor I&#8217;ve just been thrashing this album for some reason and can&#8217;t wait to see them next Tuesday night &#8230; <a href="http://mark.ryall.name/blog/2009/01/02/favourite-albums-of-2008/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>gratuitous child picture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I checked out this blog on my phone browser yesterday. It still looks awesome but is completely impossible to use. The unusability of this blog is probably the feature I find the most endearing. Blogging often seems such an act &#8230; <a href="http://mark.ryall.name/blog/2008/11/26/gratuitous-child-picture/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>nerd pathology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really like the portrayal of nerds in rands in repose&#8217;s nerd handbook but just can&#8217;t go along with it. I like it because it&#8217;s flattering to nerds but can&#8217;t help feeling that there&#8217;s a much more serious pathological aspect &#8230; <a href="http://mark.ryall.name/blog/2008/11/23/nerd-pathology/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Why you can&#8217;t &#8216;telnet&#8217; to other people&#8217;s blogs on other themes i&#8217;ll never understand.
