		<title>Don&#8217;t write that framework</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Writing frameworks is a waste of time. 
That is the conclusion after spending most of my time on my last project writing a framework, in order to make the project &#8220;easier&#8221; to write.
The trouble is every minute you divert to the framework, half of your project dies. And since there is an inherent division between [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twackr: Twitter-style time tracking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since my last rails post, so i decided to try out something different. 
Specifically, i&#8217;ve always wanted to track my time, but i never seem to find a solution that works. The solution is either too simple and doesn&#8217;t give me any feedback, or it&#8217;s extremely complicated and hard to use.
So [...]]]></description>

		<title>More CSS Animations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago i popped across Anthony Calzadillas &#8220;Pure CSS3 AT-AT Walker&#8220;, which is a great application of using CSS3 Transforms and Animations to create a scene of an AT-AT Walker walking along in a simulated iPad.
Anthony explains in great detail how he built the AT-AT, but i couldn&#8217;t help but think &#8220;I&#8217;ve got [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ovi Store</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As any mobile app developer knows, there comes a time when you need to release your creations out to the general public. On the iPhone, one has the App Store. On Android, the Android Market. On Nokia devices, the Ovi Store.
Whenever i hear someone talk about the Ovi Store, they never have anything good to [...]]]></description>

		<title>CSS Transform Exporter for Blender</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following on from Creating CSS Animations, i have decided to release the exporter script used to create the animated orange test guy.
As the title implies, the exporter script runs in Blender. Simply construct a 2D scene using planes, add in an animation track, run the script and click Export. It&#8217;s as simple as that!
Each plane [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thumbnails and Palettes in glgif</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently i incorporated support for creating thumbnails in glgif, the backend gif animation library used in Anim8gif.
Rather than taking the easy route out and attempting to load the gif using UIImage, i decided to take advantage of glgif&#8217;s decode routines to create an accurate representation of the current state of the gif playback. 
Put simply, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating CoreAnimation Animations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Moving on from Creating CSS Animations, i thought &#8220;How can i make this exporter more useful?&#8221;.
The answer is of course to completely remove Webkit from the equation, which leaves us with CoreAnimation. The end result being that the animation can be directly compiled into an iPhone or Mac OS X application.
Not going into much detail, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating CSS Animations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[CSS Transforms combined with animations are undoubtedly useful. Unfortunately though, the only way to create them is to manually input values and pretty much guess the result.
This methodology pretty much kills any creative aspirations anyone might have in making these animations. So while there are quite a few cool looking examples out there they lack [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Money in the App Store: I Give Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After almost a year of developing a and releasing a handful of iPhone apps to the App Store, i should be rolling in money, right?
Wrong.
In fact, i can officially reveal that with the exception of development contracts, my iPhone apps have netted me a grand total of:
£0
Yes, £0. It takes a lot of face up [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Trouble with CSS Transitions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently in a little experiment, i made a rather cool demo which makes use of CSS Transforms, combined with CSS Transitions.
Note: Examples only work in Safari 4+, or other recent webkit-based browsers.

&#8220;Cool?&#8221; you say. Well admittedly i could have gone for something a bit more elaborate, however as it stands it pretty much serves its [...]]]></description>
