		<title>Slackware, The love affair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my earliest memories of Linux was of slackware. The hardcore distro, the most unix-like Linux of all Linuxes, it enshrined my geekyness. Our revered maestro is Pat Volkerding.
Linux is widespread now mainly because of Canonical&#8217;s ubuntu. It&#8217;s ease of use, it just &#8216;works&#8217;.

		<title>cobalt.3dpixelnet.com site hack (17/04/10)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, a site hacker compromised many index files on customers&#8217; sites on cobalt.3dpixelnet.com. This was done via a rogue shell / linux script on another customer&#8217;s account which had very insecure folder permissions.
We are pleased to report that immediately following this attack, we replaced all the compromised files from our offsite backup platform and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hosting Your Clients, Resell Or Go Direct?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Web designers and web hosting providers often go hand in hand. The reputation of a designer can be raised or critically damaged by the quality of the web hosting provision behind those new snazzy sites. It&#8217;s critical therefore that a designer chooses a web hosting provider with care.
A few questions a designer should ask themselves.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most interesting set of statistics we can pull out of the Trap25 databases is the prefixes of emails getting the most spam. By prefixes, we mean the part of the email before the @ i.e. yourname@yourdomain.com. yourname is the prefix.

		<title>Reactive Spam Filtering Works!</title>

		<title>www vs non-www</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why oh why oh why do websites waste potential traffic? We&#8217;ve seen so many sites that either not understand, or plainly disregard either the www. or non-www. records of their websites.
The example that has just sprung to mind is the Trafford Centre in Manchester. The www. record works but the non-www. record does not. Why? [...]]]></description>
