		<description><![CDATA[TrueCrypt describes itself as "free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux". One of it's (many) abilities is to create virtual encrypted disks within normal files and access them as if it were real disks. However, as installed, TrueCrypt doesn't provide an easy way to open these containers. You must first start the TrueCrypt GUI, then browse to the container file and finally enter the password. This tutorial shows, on Windows XP, how to automate a few steps and have the password dialog automatically appear when you double click a TrueCrypt container.]]></description>

There was no compelling reason to move away from the previous platform (Serendipity), I was just curious about WordPress as it's one of the most popular blogging platforms around today. First impressions are good...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The CodeIgniter PHP web application framework on which this site is based made a security and bugfix release version 1.6.3 a few days ago.

I've just had the chance to upgrade the site to this new version and ran into a little problem that stumped me for a while, as the upgraded site just displayed a blank page, no errors and nothing in the logs...

		<description><![CDATA[I recently upgraded my main computer, but the ventilation capabilities of my existing case couldn't deal with the increase in waste heat coming from the new components and the system "ran hot". Adding more fans wasn't really an option as the system was already quite noisy so a new case with better cooling was in order. After some research on the interbeams, I decided on the Antec P182...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having purchased an iPod Classic recently, I went in search of a free application to convert various videos to iPod format. I tried a few and found them lacking in one way or another: irritating, non-standard interfaces, buggy, crash prone and so on. But then I stumbled across WinFF and was pleasantly surprised!]]></description>
