		<description><![CDATA[
As some of you may know, in CSS2 it is possible to change the appearance of an element&#8217;s cursor by declaring the value of the element&#8217;s cursor property. There are various settings for this, e.g. default, crosshair, and pointer (a full list of values and their descriptions is available over at w3schools), but you can [...]

Two kingfisher watch posts in as many days, but once again there was good news today and therefore I simply had to share it.
Today I was lucky enough to see two kingfishers!
I stood across the river in the usual place where they can be seen and where I saw the kingfisher yesterday, but saw nothing. [...]

Well that didn&#8217;t take long! I spotted one of the kingfishers sitting on a branch over the river just yards from their usual nesting place at 08:45 this morning. Granted it was only the one, but hopefully a second kingfisher will turn up within the next few days.
I&#8217;ll keep you posted.

The ability to post comments on individual experiments over on HTML5 Laboratory is now available.

There&#8217;s a spot along the River Cam here in Cambridge where I have noticed kingfishers nesting, usually every year. Sadly last year only one of the pair returned to the spot and they didn&#8217;t raise a family.
Hopefully they will return this year and I will be keeping an eye on the area and will report [...]

Not bad really. Amazing what a bit of exposure can do.

Shame about the ever present Eircom logo though, it&#8217;s sad that they can&#8217;t sell them without it. That said, at least they&#8217;ve had the presence of mind to style the logo so that it fits well with [...]

I finally got around to playing about with the &#60;canvas&#62; element of HTML5 and amongst other things I have written a simple bar chart creator and have written about it over at html5laboratory.
All comments welcome.

I&#8217;ve altered my already small homesite to run that bit faster by optimising both my JavaScript and CSS files, and also allowing Google to host the jQuery file.

jQuery
After reading 3 Reasons Why You Should Let Google host jQuery, I decided to do so, although I went for the easier link styling of:
&#60;script src=&#34;http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js&#34; type=&#34;text/javascript&#34;&#62;&#60;/script&#62;
