		<title>Here&#8217;s to us, we&#8217;re no deid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are on our way to a Burns supper in Morningside this evening, though I feel unsure about the whole proceedings. 

Last year we went straight from a Sunday night roda to the Burns supper and generally felt great. Through some freak event I was the only fellow to wear a kilt and so was &#8220;volunteered&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>All I need is a wardrobe and a lamppost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One day pouring rain, the next day snow. At least I&#8217;m not worried I shouldn&#8217;t have got waterproof panniers.

What the fancy panniers don&#8217;t do is make it any easier to ride face first into the snow &#8212; that was exciting! &#8212; or salve my extremely sore bum from my ice slip this morning.

I think I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Corpse Reviver</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one of those traditional &#8220;I&#8217;m going to start blogging again, I promise&#8221; posts. Essentially I&#8217;ve installed the WordPress app on my phone so I&#8217;ll try to use it from the train and so on. Which also means you&#8217;ll have to excuse the typos.

As if to start, this evening I went to a Glasgow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book lists of the internet, unite!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a book list that does the rounds on the internet, whose provenance I forget now (BBC viewers? Guardian readers?) &#8212; either way I&#8217;ve been working my way through it for a couple of years. Not with any great conviction, but if I&#8217;m not sure where to turn next for a book I&#8217;m open to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike lights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The clocks have been changed for a month now and this has made a massive difference to my commute. Whereas before I would leave the house as light was beginning to creep into the world, and arrive home as the last light was dying, I now leave the house in partial daylight and return home [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike to work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently started commuting to work by bike which is both more enjoyable than walking and gets me there quicker. There are a few downsides but they&#8217;re small enough that I&#8217;m going to continue like this until the weather really forces me off the road.

I was initially quite afraid of the ride through the centre [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trip to China (pt 3)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our first big trip out in Xi&#8217;an was to the city walls, which are huge and intact. So huge that you can hire a bike to ride round the entire thing, which takes about forty minutes if I remember.

We first walked through the streets at the base of the walls, past the calligraphy stands and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trip to China (pt 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As promised, it&#8217;s time to continue the record of our recent trip to China. My brother lives in a new high-rise flat on the edge of Xi&#8217;an, in an area still under massive construction. In fact the bottom floors of his building weren&#8217;t even finished. I&#8217;m not sure if they built all 26 storeys from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trip to China (pt 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Helen and I recently went to China. China! It&#8217;s a long way away and my brother&#8217;s been living there for several years, so I don&#8217;t see him often. We visited him in Xi&#8217;an &#8212; but first things first. We took a lot of photos there and I&#8217;m slowly putting them all online. I&#8217;ll try to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do not pass Philosophy, do not collect 200 geek points</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The tooltip on today&#8217;s XKCD has this challenge:


  Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at &#8220;Philosophy&#8221;


I tried it by starting out in the first thing I thought of, category theory, and [...]]]></description>
