		<description><![CDATA[Having worked on Huddle&#8217;s API, and my own now for some time, I&#8217;ve come across plenty of mistakes along the way. Having said that I thought I&#8217;d release a few pointers of what I&#8217;ve learnt.

REST over SOAP. Ok SOAP has its uses, but come on, it can be such a pain. We used it previously, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just google for &#8220;LinkedIn Huddle&#8221; and you&#8217;ll get plenty of results.
Today LinkedIn launched their new application framework which allows partners to build apps within LinkedIn. At Huddle we&#8217;ve done just that launching with other popular companies such as Google, Amazon and sites such as Twitter, and Wordpress.
We&#8217;ve explained more in this brief introduction to Huddle&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Now, before I start my rant. I&#8217;m all for the venue, and despite being a pain to get to (thank you TFL for closing the Victoria line and Waterloo underground on that day) it&#8217;s nice to see Battersea power [...]]]></description>

I firstly came across Jeff Atwood&#8217;s solution for cleaning HTML. A very fast solution, although not water tight. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently signed up to the cycle scheme (thanks Lou). Once paid the voucher comes through very quickly, and allows me around 40-50% off the cost of a bike. A sound investment if ever there was one.
I&#8217;ll be getting a second bike alongside my newly owned Scott Speedster. At current I&#8217;m looking at a steel [...]]]></description>

As part of the code police, it&#8217;s a sly way of trying to impose code that doesn&#8217;t break the build, but it&#8217;s actually quite effective.
We take a NetBeans approach using NAnt to control [...]]]></description>

The hard drives, either went missing, wouldn&#8217;t mount, would sometimes mount, then later fail. It was completely random, and the error log would literally say &#8220;error mounting&#8221;, nothing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After upgrading to Subversion 1.5 I&#8217;ve recently had problems merging between our trunk and another branch.
Firstly, I found I couldn&#8217;t do so from the root of the trunk/branch.
So the following would fail:
http://rob.repo.com/trunk -> http://rob.repo.com/branch
I would receive - &#8220;Error - Malformed URL of repository&#8221;. This was using subversion (via command line) and TortoiseSVN.
However, for some insane [...]]]></description>

Ubuntu Server was great, but a little more than I needed. And in comparison, FreeNAS was far easier/quicker to install and setup. Plus I don&#8217;t have to go through the hassle of getting Ubuntu to leave the NIC in a wake-able mode (for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Huddle we&#8217;ve recently been adding to our JSON RESTful API.
For testing GET/POST requests, and their responses, we did originally use Fiddler2, but it doesn&#8217;t support SSL, and it&#8217;s awkward to use. We also tried Modify Headers, a Firefox extension, but it was problematic.
The solution we settled on was to use TinyGet (part of the [...]]]></description>
