		<title>The fussy type</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I have been creating a lot more libraries for the flash player that rely on reflection, dawn being one of those.  I found that my reflection requirements where not easily met with the current tools, and so, Fussy was born! Love it or hate it describeType is the only (almost) way to preform reflection on types [...]]]></description>

		<title>Similar, but different! Private Configurations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just added another feature to the development branch of dawn, called private configurations. So, what are they, and why did I bother? When I first demoed Dawns injector in a LBi tech talk (almost a year ago now) one clever chap asked how it could be used to create a number of very similar, [...]]]></description>

		<title>dawn injectors multi-mappings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just added a new feature to the dev branch of dawn, and since I haven&#8217;t got changelog files yet (bad sammy!!) I figured I would throw a post up so it doesn&#8217;t get lost. Seriously though, there will be a changelog This feature will make the next version of dawn, unless someone convinces me [...]]]></description>

		<title>commanding dawn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few weeks I have been trying to improve the documentation for Dawn on its GitHub page. I am slowly making progress (hindered a little by starting a new job) but realise there are still some real weak spots. One area in particular is Dawn&#8217;s use of the command pattern. I built Dawn&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dawn at FLUG</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I got the chance to give Dawn its public launch as I presented it at FLUG.  Dawn is a set of libraries I have been developing to aid my actionscript development.  It consists of three core parts A dependency injection library inspired by Google Guice A notification system based on types A simple type safe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking towards declarative interfaces in GWT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been doing some work with GWT lately, and there is a lot I really like about it. Developing in Java (or any OO language) not only makes me more productive, it enables me to solve problems in the way I understand, without having first to grapple with how another language requires me to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installing psycopg2 on Leopard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have been building a site using Turbogears 2.0 of late (which is awesome), and decided it was time to start setting up my staging and production environments.  Thus far I have just been developing locally with sqlite, but in production I want to use postgresql&#8230; so tried to install psycopg2 via distutils and was met [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woo, I presented at Max</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I gave my presentation at Adobe Max this morning on building Flex applications with PureMVC.  It was a real privilege to get the opportunity to speak, and I hope those who attended found it useful. I also feel fortunate that I had such a good topic to talk on, as that always makes it easier [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day one at Adobe Max Europe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The highlight of the first day was always going to be the keynote. Whilst there was nothing revelatory, it was inspiring to see Adobe showcase their products. This was perhaps helped by the impressive circa 30m wide video wall. I particularly enjoyed the talk given by the BBC. The somewhat muted service they provide for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Project Snooze</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little while back I started a project called Project Snooze.  My idea was to port the basic functionalty of Hibernate to Adobe AIR, in the hope of making working with SQLite in AIR a much more fun/agile process.  I got quite a way with it back when I was commuting as I worked on [...]]]></description>
