		<description><![CDATA[Yehuda Katz, has done an excellent writeup on Ruby and encodings, but under the heading &#8220;Why this is, in practice, a rare problem&#8221;, I think he&#8217;s explained exactly why, in practice, there is a common problem: In practice, most sources of data, without any further work, are already encoded as UTF-8. For instance, the default [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seems like I&#8217;ve been quoted in a book with the (contradictory) title Professional Cairngorm. It&#8217;s the now (in)famous Architectural Atrocities 9: Cairngorm&#8217;s Model Locator Pattern again. It&#8217;s not the best quote to take from that post, but beggars can&#8217;t be choosers. The quote is on page 267 in the chapter &#8220;Criticisms of Cairngorm&#8221; (where else), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gumbo introduces many new classes, some of which are re-implementations of existing Halo classes (and thus have the same name). In order to disambiguate between Halo and Gumbo, Gumbo classes are prefixed to avoid collisions. Gumbo components that have Halo equivalents, like Button, List and CheckBox, are now prefixed with the letters &#8220;Fx&#8221;. This means [...]]]></description>

Instead the ECMAScript working groups is going to pursue an update to version 3. I say good riddance to ES 4, it had a lot of interesting stuff in it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that OpenID is a great idea, but there are just too many providers to choose from. Without even actively signing up for one, I&#8217;ve got at least six OpenID&#8217;s already: one from WordPress, another from Technorati, and from Blogger, Yahoo!, Flickr and AOL. Either one would do fine, but one thing bugs me: [...]]]></description>

The various applications that I currently have installed scatter files everywhere, without asking me and with total disregard of Apple&#8217;s documentation. Read on for a list of the offences. I&#8217;ve been bashing Adobe quite a lot in my last few posts, and even though they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I needed to install Adobe Acrobat, which I&#8217;ve so far avoided to install because of its bloated size, slowness and general suckiness. Unfortunately, I really needed it. After searching my drawers for the CS3 install DVD, I pushed it into my computer and though that I&#8217;d managed the hard part. Now it should just [...]]]></description>

It sounded like something I had been wishing for for a while: a better way to create user interfaces that leveraged the capabilities of the Creative Suite applications, something that the current scripting environment doesn&#8217;t do very well. I installed it and read the [...]]]></description>

Mate is quite unintrusive, lets you configure your application declaratively in MXML and does most of the boring things for you. Judging from the documentation and examples it looks like good competitor [...]]]></description>
