Some semblance of a description

I'm busy writing this monthly column for WebTechniques magazine. They've agreed to let me put them online as soon as they've appeared in print.

Because I'm generally busy (or lazy), I simply ran the source files through the pod2html translator so that I could put them online here. It makes them ugly sometimes, but you'll just have to live with that for now until someone comes up with a better solution.
