    <title>Site tweaks</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Made a few minor additions to the site.  I've decided to start using Twitter, so I've put a Twitter feed on the sidebar.  Twitter also links to my Facebook profile (on which, until now, I have not been updating the status line). I've also added a link to &#34;Other notable posts&#34; which has a list of some historical posts, just in case you were bored and wanted something to read (but there is some quite good reading there, if I do say so myself).

Made a couple of changes to the backend as well,...]]></description>

    <title>iPhone pricing</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Telstra has come to the party and will also be releasing the iPhone on July 11. Unlike Vodafone and Optus, Telstra has also released its pricing plans. Contracts are for 2 years (pretty standard) and a $30/mo plan will allow you to pay $279 for the 8 gig model and $399 for 16 gig model. There's no upfront cost if you go on a $100/mo plan. You won't be able to buy an iPhone from Telstra without a plan.

Vodafone and Optus are taking pre-registrations too, but have not released pricing. It's ...]]></description>

    <title>Again?! You can't be serious!</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Anwar Ibrahim has once again been accused of sodomy and has fled to the Turkish embassy for protection. Anwar is filing a civil suit in response. Here is the event timeline. This is all seems quite ridiculous and it doesn't make Malaysia look any good. I made a post on the original conviction quite a few years ago.

Incidentally, along with Morgan Tsvangirai seeking refuge in the Dutch embassy in Harare last week, it is interesting to note that embassies have &#34;extra-territorial status&#34;, whi...]]></description>

    <title>Now, a diamond is for everyone</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Diamond-making technology is now at the point where synthetics are virtually indistinguishable from the real deal. &#34;Cultured&#34; diamonds, though, are still not cheap. A Smithsonian Magazine article reports on the diamond manufacturing industry.

Five years ago, I linked to this Wired article and this Atlantic article from 1982 on the same topic.]]></description>
