		<title>Learning&#160;lessons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I screwed up. I made a mistake. I didn&#8217;t&#160;think.
Nothing that bad; nothing to cause too much extra work and stress; just a simple matter that I&#8217;d basically forgotten to address: in booking in new projects, I haven&#8217;t give myself enough time for each one to run over, as they inevitably will. I&#8217;ve got a pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>The to-do list problem &#038; the &#8216;Things&#8217;&#160;solution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve been promising a post about to-do lists for a while now, and I&#8217;m so enamoured with the beautiful Mac app Things that I just can&#8217;t hold it in any&#160;longer.
Until very recently, I wasn&#8217;t a fan of to-list apps in general. I&#8217;m not sure why that was exactly; I think perhaps it was because I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week one of working for&#160;myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s over so soon, but I&#8217;ve already finished the first week of being self-employed. And I can&#8217;t rave enough about the freedom of being my own&#160;boss!
As a few of you have asked, I thought I might document the early days of &#8216;the business&#8217;. I&#8217;ll try and cover a number of things as [...]]]></description>

		<title>FOWD London 2008&#160;wrap-up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you want to download my FOWD presentation and workshop files, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Read&#160;on&#8230;
No, I&#8217;m not dead. That 12% beer didn&#8217;t finish me off. I&#8217;m alive and kicking, and I can only apologise profusely for the lack of activity here on the blog recently. I blame FOWD, moving flat, setting up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Create the perfect logo feature in .net&#160;magazine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As some of you will know, I write graphics-related tutorials for .net magazine (published as Practical Web Design outside the UK) on a monthly basis. However, this month&#8217;s issue is a special one, as it&#8217;s the first to include a feature written by me, as well as the regular tutorial. This 5-page feature is called [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;A Gosling&#8217; by Stuart&#160;Kolakovic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Over the Easter weekend, Sam and I visited a local art gallery, which was selling souvenirs from an affiliated gallery down the road; one that&#8217;s currently showing an independent comics exhibition (and one I hope to visit before we move). Among the books for sale was a small comic called &#8216;A Gosling&#8217; - written and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speaking and teaching at&#160;FOWD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I realised today that I&#8217;ve yet to publicly mention the fact that I&#8217;m speaking - and teaching - at FOWD London in April. So here I am, putting that&#160;right.
This event is special for a number of reasons. Firstly, instead of just speaking, I&#8217;ll be teaching a half-day workshop entitled &#8216;Professional Photoshop Effects&#8217; (details here). Secondly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Back when I launched this incarnation of the site in April last year, I wrote a detailed post that included several point about how I&#8217;d aim to improve the site next time. Over the course of the last few months I&#8217;ve made several subtle modifications to enhance it, but now that I&#8217;m starting my own [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress tutorial:how to apply a dynamic body class or&#160;ID</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I spent most of yesterday building a site for a friend and found myself falling in love with Wordpress all over again in the process. A highlight of the day&#8217;s work (which saw me using Wordpress more as a standard CMS rather than a blog engine) was finding a really easy way of dynamically applying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I think most of you have heard the news by now: I&#8217;m leaving Carsonified and going solo. Before I go any further, thanks so much for all of your encouraging emails, comments, and Twitter messages that came through after the official&#160;announcement.
It&#8217;s a move that has / will come as a huge surprise to most people, [...]]]></description>
