There's a few small technical changes around the site today. Firstly, you can now browse an archive of every mp3 I've posted. It only goes back about a year, but something is better than nothing. I've also finally implemented an rss feed for the article section. Yeah, it's something I should've done ages ago, but that's the way it goes when the entire CMS is hand-coded and built from scratch.
