		<title>How I made Street Hoarding, a Node.js and Redis application, or, a super simple explanation of asynchronicity, event loops, non-blocking IO, JavaScript, Comet and Node</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Second update: thanks to James Coglan again, I have modified the code. Now, the client message requests are held open until there is a new message to return, thus reducing the load on the server. Update: Thanks to James Coglan for providing some lovely technical corrections to this article. Go to the Street Hoarding homepage [...]]]></description>

		<title>Freeing disk space on your Linux server</title>

To find out where disk space is being used: 1. Get to the root of your machine by running cd / 2. Run sudo du -h --max-depth=1 3. Note which directories are using [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fourth EP</title>

		<title>Getting thrown out of a lesbian bookshop</title>

We battled through the cold, found the right street, then the right number, then followed someone into the right building. We came up the stairs and into the lesbian bookshop. There was to be a showing of Tan de [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fare-dodging on the Berlin U-Bahn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had my ticket checked by an inspector on the Berlin U-Bahn 4 times in 36 days. I&#8217;ve done maybe 90 (36 x 2.5) journeys in that time. The penalty for travelling without a ticket is €40 and a shouting-at. Using the estimate for the number of journeys I&#8217;ve made, I&#8217;ve spent €190 on travel. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bands are better live</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I go to gigs/concerts/shows a lot. Gigs are just better than records. There is the sound of the audience booing or chatting or whooping or heckling or clapping. Listen to the effect that the audience had on Bob Dylan at his &#8220;Royal Albert Hall&#8221; gig in 1966. You can see the musicians making their music [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adding keyboard control to Playmary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Playmary is my audio autobiography site. You create an account and upload songs that you are listening to a lot, or that symbolise what is going on in your life. Up until now, you would click on songs to play and pause them, and when one song ended, the next would play. I&#8217;ve added some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Capitalism and distance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Capitalism is founded on distance. I specialise to become more efficient and, thus, more productive. The more I write code for a living, the better I get and the more quickly I turn time and raw materials into money. Because money is the goal, everything is subordinate to efficiency. Others&#8217; well-being, my enjoyment and my [...]]]></description>
