		<description><![CDATA[When I worked at The Guardian, before committing code to Subversion, unit tests were run against the Java codebase. This is pretty standard.

		<title>G1 browser supports window.print() function is silly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I thought I&#8217;d see how the website I&#8217;m currently front-end developing looks my phone&#8217;s browser, the G1. It was simple to view since the G1 has wi-fi so I typed in my laptop&#8217;s IP address followed by the path to the website. Renders great! Well it would, because the browser is based on Webkit.
