		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been just over 2 weeks now since the release of the IPad in Australia, so as (to use Steve Job&#8217;s words) an &#8220;early adopter&#8221;, I thought I&#8217;d share my experiences for others considering the purchase.
First impressions of the exterior were: screen was smaller then I imagined, and it was a little heavier then I [...]]]></description>

		<title>blog defaced for 40 minutes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This wasn&#8217;t anyone&#8217;s fault but my own (as I left Wordpress unpatched for a few months), but the other week, I found the blog had been replaced with the message  &#8216;F### the Israeli&#8217;s&#8217; and &#8216;you suck admin&#8217;.. etc. etc.
When the defacing occurred, for whatever reason (thankfully) wordpress sent me an email to say the admin [...]]]></description>
