		<description><![CDATA[Dear Neglected Surgery,
Hi.  Remember me?  It&#8217;s been a while.
The last few months have been somewhat challenging; which is to say, without any exaggeration, they&#8217;ve been the worst months of my life.
On the 28th of August, my beautiful, darling, gorgeous, fun-loving wife Elaine passed away after a very sudden illness. Elaine had a number of chronic [...]]]></description>

This is a cursory, &#8220;first impressions&#8221; post about the latest social networking craze, Google+.
Facebook should be very concerned.  So should LinkedIn.  Google&#8217;s latest foray into social networking has all the hallmarks of a Facebook-esque social network but with safety and security at the forefront of the user experience.  Maybe they&#8217;ve learned from the failed Google [...]]]></description>

Adam filed another article on the popular Hydrapinion blog, too: Media Centre PC &#8211; R.I.P.?

Where do I start?
I&#8217;ve been joking recently about having three full-time jobs.  I&#8217;ve been employed by the Victorian Government in my current role for nearly seven years. This has been hugely rewarding and I have enjoyed the job immensely.  It&#8217;s a job which involves shift work, overtime, on-call duties, and accounts for a [...]]]></description>

It was nauseating quite literally, as someone appeared to have propped-up the projector with an old washing machine stuck permanently on its unbalanced spin cycle.  From the moment we were shown [...]]]></description>

Telstra is the largest telecommunications service provider in Australia. Telstra operates and maintains the country&#8217;s telecommunications infrastructure, sells its own services, and allows other service providers to re-sell parts of its network.

Unfortunately, Dr Ron&#8217;s telephone line has no dial tone, and no battery (FAIL).  This is probably [...]]]></description>

This is just a simple house-keeping post.
Today I deleted over 1000 WordPress user accounts on The Surgery.
Chances are, if your username was &#8220;buy_viagra&#8221;, &#8220;animesex&#8221; or &#8220;fdksjahgiliegdlzzq&#8221; then your account has been deleted.
If I deleted any legitimate accounts, then I apologise a thousand times over. Please re-register with my eternal gratitude.
