		<title>Fear and Trembling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is facile to mock or criticize philosophy for its difficult language, and I like to think I&#8217;m not a facile thinker, but I had an &#8220;oh sod this&#8221; moment while reading Kierkegaard this morning. The obscure, tangled, repetitive and willfully paradoxical language is just tedious &#8211; at least, so it strikes me so far. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wordpress Woes and Upcoming Redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my last post, in which I briefly sang the praises of Wordpress, I became increasingly troubled by the horribly slow page load times of this blog, so I spent an hour or two last night trying to speed things up. It&#8217;s a while since I installed WP Super Cache, and all this time I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Nice and Simple Photo Gallery Solution for MODx</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My third MODx site is about to launch. It&#8217;s relatively simple (no forms!) so I had the chance to really concentrate on refining my architecture, and the work I&#8217;ve done will stand me in good stead for a while (unless I give in to the enticements of SilverStripe or ExpressionEngine, or just ditch the PHP [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Magical MODx ManagerManager Plugin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My first MODx-powered website went live today (Pinnacle Telecom Group plc), and my intention now is to share some of my experiences. From a development point of view MODx is so flexible that there are several ways of doing most things, so if like me you constantly fret about your architecture and constantly refactor your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Web Development Frameworks: Developing For vs. Developing With</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been hunting for a web development framework for a few months. Back in the summer I was immersed in CSS and javascript, just sticking with my tried and tested server-side techniques. Using the TinyButStrong (TBS) template class I could put together a highly organized dynamic website pretty quickly. In retrospect it seems that I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Undressed Her by Mistake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Freud&#8217;s Psychopathology of Everyday Life reads a lot like today&#8217;s popular science books. In particular it reminds me of Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks, with its conversational style.
Much of the pleasure is the spectacle of all these Viennese doctors revelling in the exciting new theories of psychoanalysis, sharing their little anecdotes. Writing about inadvertent actions and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chemicals and Complexes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I wrote in the last post, I&#8217;m a tangle of complexes. Why didn&#8217;t I know this before? Lately I&#8217;ve been examining how my own self-awareness has changed over the years. I suppose you could call this self-awareness-awareness.
For years I would sometimes have bad moods of a particular kind, and during those moods my thoughts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Web Development and Chopping Garlic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For this post it was a toss-up between:
1. My observations on Freud&#8217;s Psychopathology of Everyday Life (boiling down to my realization that I&#8217;m a tangle of complexes, but also that I&#8217;m actually doing alright and won&#8217;t be running to an analyst any time soon)
2. A vague and geeky ramble over the broken, scarred and unstable [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is a taster of what&#8217;s to come in a few weeks. I&#8217;m building this website, for the Scottish Golf Heritage Festival, with an array of incredibly useful components and features: I&#8217;m using the MODx content management system, FoxyCart for an integrated shop and registration process, and a wealth of snazzy (I&#8217;m certain I can [...]]]></description>
