My website, an agglomerative mess, probably half-eaten by a grue

Bugger! Snapped the key in the sliding door – the door that's never been easy to close
The big sliding door installed in the renovations has never been easy to lock from inside, and for the past week or two I’ve ended up going outside, pushing it in against the frame and locking it, then running around and coming back in the front. Of course tonight the back deck is wet with paint so I tried from inside … and snapped the keyBirds seen [2024-01-03 Wed], Lorne to Melbourne

Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you…
I experiment. I play. I write and I take pictures. Some of the site is organised around topics, other parts are organized by date, then there’s always the cross-references between them.
Its all been here a fairly long time. Like the papers on my desk, or the books on the bedside table, the pile just grew… and it all grew without much plan or structure. I try not to break URLs, so historical oddities abound.
Long ago it started as a learning experiment with a few static HTML pages, then I added a bit of server-side includes and some very ugly PHP. A hand-built journal/blog on top of that PHP, then a few experiments in moving to various static publishing systems. I’ve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years I’ve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remained… I never really liked jekyll and the ruby underneath always seemed so much black magic. So now the latest incarnation is Org mode and hugo.
