		<title>Site Maintenance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may have noticed the site was down today for an hour or so. We shuffled some disks around and it required taking down the computer temporarily. The end goal is to fix the slowness and gateway errors that people have been seeing lately. We&#8217;ve basically doubled our popularity in the past 8 months and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our recent DNS outage&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry about the downtime and the confusing &#8220;migrate your DNS now&#8221; message that you may have seen when trying to play our solitaire games. Our DNS provider got bought by another DNS provider and wanted us to migrate to the new owner&#8217;s services. I had been putting off doing the migration but I didn&#8217;t know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maintenance completed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our database is back up now. We&#8217;re now running off our shiny new PostgreSQL 9.0 database. It took longer than expected&#8211;sorry about that. Turns out pg_upgradecluster is different (and horrifically slower) than pg_upgrade. All the games that were played last night have been imported into the new DB so the leader board should be accurate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Database Maintenance Tonight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re doing some database maintenance tonight so the high scores tables and leader boards aren&#8217;t going to work. Any games you play will be recorded and we&#8217;ll load them into the database when it comes back up. Don&#8217;t worry about any &#8220;internal errors&#8221; you see&#8230; They should probably say something about the database being down&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Serial New Gamers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every time a game is played we store it in our master database. We like to go through our data and look at interesting things, like how many unique people play games and what games get played most, etc. One thing we&#8217;ve noticed is that many players click &#8220;New Game&#8221; really fast, over and over.

		<title>Auto sizing the cards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We just found a bug last night that caused the card size auto-detect code to choose the wrong size in certain cases. In particular it was choosing the &#8220;ludicrous&#8221; size cards when the screen was much too small to support them. It seemed to only affect Internet Explorer (definitely version 6 and possibly 7 and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big update today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jim and I have been working on the site a lot more than usual in the last couple months. Today we&#8217;ve pushed some big changes we&#8217;ve been working on up to the main site. Here&#8217;s a list of some of the things we did: We got rid of the card size popup. Instead of choosing [...]]]></description>

		<title>HTML5 Asteroids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you run a recent version of the Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera you&#8217;ll see a new game in the menus: Asteroids. This is a clone of the classic arcade game of the same name. It uses the brand new HTML5 &#60;canvas&#62; tag to draw the graphics which unfortunately makes it incompatible with Internet Explorer [...]]]></description>

		<title>New card design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You might have already noticed that we tweaked the cards a little. We think they look better now and as a bonus the numbers should be easier to read. We've been playing with these cards ourselves for a few months and have really grown to like the changes. We hope you do too.]]></description>
