		<title>Why choose Python for teaching?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a tweet by a computer science educator claiming the superiority of a particular programming language for teaching purposes (Pascal, if you must know). Now, I don&#8217;t really go for religious wars &#8212; each to his own and all that &#8212; but I did reply with my opinion that Python might generally be… <a href="http://computerfloss.com/2012/05/why-choose-python-for-teaching/" rel="bookmark">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>And, WordPress hackers, just in case you&#8217;re interested&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; here&#8217;s how I made the earlier slightly tricky change. Using this tutorial page I changed the front page of the site into a static page, which sat at &#8220;computerfloss.com/blog&#8221;. But I wanted the front page to be at the root of the domain, so I skipped over to this other tutorial page. This one… <a href="http://computerfloss.com/2012/01/and-wordpress-hackers-just-in-case-youre-interested/" rel="bookmark">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>Computer Floss &#8211; Slight URL change. Update your feed!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve added a new static front page to the computerfloss.com site. (I have some plans to expand here, you see.) The &#8220;/blog&#8221; part of the URL is no longer needed, so the old RSS address won&#8217;t work. Either click the RSS icon or change your feed address to: http://computerfloss.com/feed/rss/ &#160; <a href="http://computerfloss.com/2012/01/computer-floss-slight-url-change-update-your-feed/" rel="bookmark">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>Eclipse trainings available</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I delivered my first Eclipse training just before Christmas last year. I&#8217;m happy to say that the clients, just under a dozen programmers working for a large German corporation, have reported being &#8220;very satisfied&#8221; with my two-day seminar. I&#8217;m also happy to say I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would, probably due… <a href="http://computerfloss.com/2012/01/eclipse-trainings-available/" rel="bookmark">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>Saros: Needs-based synchronisation and a greatly upgraded Whiteboard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been so extremely busy the last six weeks that I&#8217;ve had no time to blog. During that time a new release of Saros went out and I almost let it pass without telling you about it. Version 11.12.9 of our distributed development tool (the final release of the year) is now available. This is… <a href="http://computerfloss.com/2011/12/saros-needs-based-synchronisation-and-a-greatly-upgraded-whiteboard/" rel="bookmark">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>Linux likes the Netgear N150&#8230; and so do I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my new occupation, I continue to treat myself to new kit purchase essential new equipment for my business. I&#8217;ve already blogged on my experiences with printers on Linux and now I&#8217;ve started using a new wireless adapter I&#8217;d like to give that a shout-out too.

		<title>Planet FLOSS Rides Again</title>

For much of that time, I was one of many bloggers syndicated on Planet FLOSS Research, a website that brought together a number of blogs all on the… <a href="http://computerfloss.com/2011/11/planet-floss-rides-again/" rel="bookmark">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>A little problem with the OSGi Version class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the release of Indigo, Eclipse hackers have been exposed to a little change in the API of the org.osgi.framework.Version class. Specifically, a new method: compareTo(Version) has appeared. Prior to Eclipse 3.7, comparing two Version objects was done via the compareTo(Object) method. This caused us in the Saros team to suffer a rather subtle bug.… <a href="http://computerfloss.com/2011/11/a-little-problem-in-the-osgi-version-class/" rel="bookmark">read more</a>]]></description>
