The recipient was a hotmail.co.uk address, and the problem only occurred for this address; other hotmail.co.uk addresses were fine.  What&#8217;s more, my mail server logs showed that Outlook didn&#8217;t even try connecting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My current pet hate is the use of the phrase &#8220;it says so on Wikipedia&#8221;, in a sarcastic manner.  Usually it&#8217;s intended to make fun of people who don&#8217;t seem to &#8216;understand&#8217; that anyone and everyone can edit or create Wikipedia articles on any subject (unless, of course, the IWF blocks Internet access to one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE 18th April 2010: Netgear have since released a firmware update for the DG834Gv4 which supports NAT loopback.  It took them long enough! Yesterday I made the decision (read: mistake) to update my Netgear DG834G router (hardware v4, firmware v5.01.09) to firmware v5.01.14 &#8211; and, as is the way with these things, it brought trouble.  After the upgrade I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Previously I&#8217;d made my opinion clear on the privacy aspect of Google Street View &#8211; in that essentially Google hasn&#8217;t done anything that can&#8217;t be done by any ordinary person with a camera walking past your house. If you don&#8217;t want to be seen playing air guitar in your wife&#8217;s underwear, simply close the curtains. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s just like a virtual tour of those locations. The images were captured using a camera mounted on top of a [...]]]></description>

The statement on their website implies the decision to unblock the web page was theirs alone, and makes no mention of the [...]]]></description>

In what seems like a genuine move to prevent UK web-surfers from accidentally stumbling across an &#8216;offensive&#8217; image, [...]]]></description>
