		<title>The Angry Technician’s Guide to streaming Freeview via VLC, you Idiots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, the England vs. Slovenia World Cup match brought many a broadband connection across the UK to its knees as iPlayer, the BBC’s streaming video service, hit a peak of 800,000 concurrent streams (mostly skiving gits who should have been working). Even before the match, IT professionals in schools were marginally backing a meltdown [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wanderer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere in the deepest, darkest, regions of a DHL warehouse, is package #77 of 118 from my annual Dell workstation shipment. The others were delivered yesterday, but #77 has eluded both the driver and his compatriots at the depot. I’d be more annoyed, but the driver did help us move the remaining 117 to their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Comical</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Federico forwarded me this email today, a mailshot from the makers of my previous school’s defunct language lab, which was a pile of junk even when it wasn’t in its near-constant state of dysfunction. There’s so much wrong with this email, I almost don’t know where to begin. Almost. … COMIC SANS??]]></description>

		<title>Projection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s certainly not something I’ll be doing with my own phone any time soon, but these makeshift projector stands at a recent social were certainly… innovative. Sadly, the projector was almost completely dead, putting out only a fraction of its normal brightness… …you could say it was… on its last legs.]]></description>

		<title>Syndicating Blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are times when you just come across blog posts that you wish you had written or that you want to get to a wider audience. After a brief chat with one blogger I have come to admire he has agreed to allow me to syndicate his blog on mine. Using the auto-blog plugin for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Filtering and the Nirvana of your own connection!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a recent article by Miles Berry, over on Merlin John&#8217;s site Agent4Change, Miles raises a number of really good points about saving money in this year of austerity &#8230; but there are a few points that still get me about Open Source and an almost blind faith that it can solve nearly all our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sharepoint in Education &#8211; the other side of things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve already posted about why I like Sharepoint so much and it was quite interesting to spend Friday in Warwick with Mike Herrity and co presenting about Sharepoint in Education. Mike’s blog goes into full details about who presented and what on, but here is my presentation as I looked more towards sharepoint 2010 as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you *really* know what your school spends with ICT?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A short post today, partly in preparation for a longer review of the courses from the FITS Foundation, but mainly in response to Ray Fleming&#8217;s latest blog post. One of the areas we covered on the FITS : Advanced course (also known as the FITS : Manager course) was about financial management &#8230; but, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Becta &#8211; Opportunities lost and opportunities gained.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As most people will have seen Becta will be cut as a cost saving measure by the Conservative &#8211; Lib Dem coalition government. There is no published timescale on this but a number of people have said they have been told it is by November 2010 (myself included). As with many others who have experienced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TeachMeet is entering its fifth year and the unconference for teachers, by teachers has helped hundreds &#8211; maybe thousands, in fact &#8211; to try out something new, alter the way they already teach and learn, join a community of innovative educators or completely transform their way of working.
