		<description><![CDATA[One of the first things I referenced when I started this project was the &#8216;Maker&#8217;s Bill of Rights&#8217; document that Make Magazine published some time ago &#8211; a kind of set of standards for makers of open objects such that said objects can be sure to be repairable and hackable. As with most things to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you may have noticed, I&#8217;ve been spending some time here. The main reason, I won&#8217;t lie, is because I&#8217;ve been ill at home and its about the only project of my many that I can really do whilst sitting around in my dressing gown feeling slightly queasy. So that&#8217;s why. Why 3D now? In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My favourite thing about the recent religious festival that is the first distribution of iPads has definitely been iFixit&#8217;s teardown which has been recorded meticulously and with amazing speed on their blog. If you don&#8217;t know, a teardown is basically a documentation of someone taking apart an object, normally for the purposes of hacking or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have been updating the parts list for v0.25, including trying to find a better trimcap that can actually be adjusted by hand, or hacked in such a way as to make that possible. Found this one on rapid that might be more suitable. Have also ordered in some hand adjustable 50k resistors to implement Andrew&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am now past the end of my stint in Dundee. I had a great time, and have made some good friends amongst some very fine people and designers (the two are not mutually exclusive, except in this case). In no particular order a big thanks to everyone who has helped me with this project [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the great things about Google Code is that it enforces developers to stick to a strict policy regarding version updates: it actively discourages deleting files once they are uploaded and makes version tracking pretty darn simple. It&#8217;s not something I probably would have down well otherwise, but because of it, have downloaded pdfs [...]]]></description>

While there however, I found that the same website has a variety of well documented FM transmitter designs. This one in particular looks quite promising &#8211; could make a good Niftymitter upgrade for the future?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another thing that came up in my discussion with Shaleph recently was the age old quandry of the maker: being bound to making kits. This being the first open source project proper that I&#8217;ve initiated, it&#8217;s not something that I&#8217;ve had to wrestle with before but I know it is something that many others don&#8217;t enjoy: sourcing [...]]]></description>
