		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a customer of VPSLand&#8217;s for some years in one form or another. A friend recommended them when the Melbourne PHP Users Group was looking for a new server, he&#8217;d been with them for a while. I decided to get one for MooBox too.
Time passed, servers churned, and for the most I was happy. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently installed PHP 5.3 in order to play with some of the new features and thought I&#8217;d share the steps I took with you. While it&#8217;s based on a clean installation of Ubuntu 7.10 Server, you might find this useful on existing systems too.
As ever, this guide is for educational purposes only. I offer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Challenge/Response email verification (CREV) is a mechanism for reducing the amount of spam you get. It works like this:

Alice sends Bob an email,
Bob uses a CREV system, and this is the first email he&#8217;s received from Alice,

		<description><![CDATA[I received an email this morning to the abuse@ address of two of my domains. It quotes Dave Hayes&#8217;s article Becoming what you oppose which describes how two blacklists are conducting debateably illegal acts (he names extorsion, terrorism, false advertising, and uncompetitive behaviour).

I&#8217;ve received these dodgy letters from Domains Australia Pty Ltd before and ignored them. They send letters to owners of .au domains and offer to register the .net.au equivalent. The letter itself can be confusing and might be [...]]]></description>
