		<title>Dealing With Market Seasonality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the attractions of having a website is that it operates twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year.  However, depending on what your market is, it might not operate evenly on all of those days.  The phenomenon of market seasonality is well-understood in offline businesses&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;ice cream shops do most business in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does Your Product Logo Actually Matter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some months ago when the 99designs fixed-price logo store launched, my buddy Thomas at Matasano remarked that it would have been the perfect choice for my business.  I said that, while I&#8217;m quite impressed with 99designs&#8217; business model and many of the logos on offer, I thought the less-generic-looking logo which I had custom-made fairly [...]]]></description>

		<title>SEO for Software Companies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a rough outline of my verbal remarks while giving a presentation at the Software Industry Conference.  Regular readers of my blog will notice it has a lot of overlap with previous posts on the topic, but I thought posting it would save presentation watchers from having to take copious notes on URLs and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running Apache On A Memory-Constrained VPS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday about a hundred thousand people visited this blog due to my post on names, and the server it was on died several fiery deaths. This has been a persistent issue for me in dealing with Apache (the site dies nearly every time I get Reddited&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;with only about 10,000 visitors each time, which shouldn&#8217;t be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names</title>
		<description><![CDATA[if (typeof window.Delicious == "undefined") window.Delicious = {}; Delicious.BLOGBADGE_GRAPH_SHOW = false;Delicious.BLOGBADGE_TAGS_SHOW = false; John Graham-Cumming wrote an article today complaining about how a computer system he was working with described his last name as having invalid characters.  It of course does not, because anything someone tells you is their name is&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;by definition&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;an appropriate identifier for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Detecting Bots with Javascript for Better A/B Test Results</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a big believer in not spending time creating features until you know customers actually need them.  This goes the same for OSS projects: there is no point in overly complicating things until &#8220;customers&#8221; tell you they need to be a little more complicated.  (Helpfully, here some customers are actually capable of helping themselves&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Data Driven Software Design Presentation (plus bonus interview)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I went down to Osaka to give a presentation to the Design Matters group at the Apple Store.  I originally prepared a very geeky software-centric dive into the magic of using statistics to improve your software, but I was informed that the audience wouldn&#8217;t be as geeky as I had expected, so with [...]]]></description>
