		<title>EasyPDO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This will be the last post in my blog regarding database connectivity. I&#8217;ve set up a site for my new project called EasyPDO. EasyPDO incorporates all of the ideas I&#8217;ve been working on over the last few years with the MySQLi and PDO database connectivity software. EasyPDO currently supports connections to MySQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unimaginably Pointless Arduino Projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the best presents I received for Christmas this year was an Arduino starter kit. It&#8217;s been about 20 years since I did anything involving electronics; back in school I was fascinated with the subject, and the Arduino has suddenly reignited my interest. The starter kit contains quite an interesting array of sensors (LDR, [...]]]></description>

		<title>MySQL Prepared Statements from PHP: MySQLi vs PDO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE 16th March 2010: See the new, dedicated EasyPDO Website I&#8217;ve been using my simple MySQLi wrapper class for some time now, and feel that it&#8217;s been reasonably well fine-tuned.

		<description><![CDATA[Everybody loves Internet Explorer, especially web developers. Rather than being a boring, predictable browser that does what you expect, there&#8217;s always a little quirk to keep you on your toes. There&#8217;s always some intriguing idiosyncrasy that ensures your day is not wasted by actually writing productive code, but instead spent trawling the statistical noise of [...]]]></description>
