		<description><![CDATA[I just made a nifty little board for use with my Joulescope that will let me plug any USB dev board into it to precisely measure power. But it wasn&apos;t just as smooth as this? It only worked half the time? I was puzzled. Did I forget something?]]></description>

Meanwhile, I just discovered that we now have Petrol stations without Petrol?]]></description>
