		<description><![CDATA[
Consultant-speak buzzwords have been around for a while, of course, but the one that really gets up my nose is &#8220;underpinned&#8221;. Often used when announcing some new development or innovation, it is somehow (deemed) far more impressive to say that it&#8217;s underpinned by this, that or the other. I thought that was what you did [...]]]></description>

Find myself in an interesting situation at the moment &#8211; enforced usage of IE6 at work. Good reasons for this of course, one application used in this organisation will only work with IE6. Quite a common situation. 
What&#8217;s interesting is what doesn&#8217;t work in IE6 &#8211; including two websites for web design agencies I was [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m reading this book about Scott&#8217;s expeditions to the Antarctic at the moment.
A bit of background information about the Royal Navy particularly interested me. It talks about communication between naval vessels in action. In Nelson&#8217;s time in the early 1800s it was very difficult, with the result that each captain had to rely on his [...]]]></description>

The technology in question was a complex piece of machinery which automated the process of splitting up multiple carbon copies of orders for distribution to different [...]]]></description>

A few years ago I worked on a programme with three or four workstreams, with maybe 70 or so people in all. For various reasons, the requirements were relatively fluid, and because the programme was quite large, there was a danger of some design [...]]]></description>

If a programme is going to deliver something of value to a business, the programme manager or director needs to be accountable to the rest of the business &#8211; fine. But the business also needs to give the programme the space and resources [...]]]></description>

Vodafone Pay As You Go Top Up

The Vodafone one is particularly nasty as the problem is that the button to say &#8220;Pay now&#8221; or whatever it is [...]]]></description>

On this project we worked with an external design agency to develop the information architecture, user personas and user journeys. I was rather sceptical about this approach in this case as some work had already been done, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been trying to transfer an html form, which I had working perfectly on a static html page, onto a Wordpress page. Wordpress insisted on adding multiple &#60;br/&#62; tags where I didn&#8217;t want them. Mutter.
Eventually, after much searching, I identified a parameter within wp-includes/formatting.php, which allows you to disable this [...]]]></description>

Sounds a daft thing to say, but there&#8217;s sometimes a danger of over-planning and over-analysing a task, instead of actually getting on and doing it.
I can think of two personal examples. A few years ago I was managing a complex set of [...]]]></description>
