		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on a project for this year&#8217;s Interactive Fiction Competition (IFComp 2010).  It&#8217;s one that I started as kind of a small palate-cleanser after last year&#8217;s Comp, intended to be a quickie adventure for my son.  As I worked through the idea and setting, however, I realized that there was more there than I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent releases of both the in-browser Glulx interpreter Quixe, and the newest Inform 7 Build 6E72, it was pretty obvious that I&#8217;d have to upgrade.  Sure, theoretically it would be possible to stick with the last version of Inform and manually roll out a playable website for my WIP.  But why turn down [...]]]></description>

Part of the reason is that we&#8217;ve been watching a lot of Good Eats lately [...]]]></description>
