Covid-19 "disaster curfew", traffic noise dwindles to nothing, unnaturally quiet as I got into bed

a warm day and the street tree starts blossoming, the hyacinth opens
215/366 sunday family triangle
A bit of the heights of Chadstone, then Scotchmans creek path, newish bike path down through Monash Uni to Clayton, connecting with Djerring trail and back home
214/366 just the shopping
I think the message is finally sinking in, almost all the shoppers in Oakleigh have masks… except for the smokers, the coffee drinkers and the sitting around talkers.
I wonder where the local butcherbird has gone[1]? Haven't heard them for a while. This week's birds are the Brown thornbills in the bay tree

Who needs a #hug? Friday afternoon #cycling.
213/366 friday exploration
Colouring in the backstreets, explore the new “Caulfield Village”, straight back along the traffic sewer. Found a lovely bit of bluestone, some aparments incorporating a rebuilt concrete laneway, and a lane that I knew of but never suspected went all the way through
212/366 local loops
Around 50% of the people in the park and bike path either have no mask or wear it as a chin sling, I’ll stick to riding on the local road.

211/366 around in the sun
Fark, that was close! Nearly taken out by 30 ㎞/h electric scooter on Scotchman ck trail… idiot had a big dog running with him … 3m to the side, head-on at me, on one of those invisible extender leads. Slid to a halt with front wheel wrapped in dog & lead

205/366 goodbye garmin
The joys of internet-of-things devices. Here on the desk is a Garmin Edge805. Right next to it is a phone with the Garmin Connect App. The Edge says I rode 11 ㎞, the phone can’t download the ride because the company’s website has been unavailable for the past six hours… down “for maintenance” apparently.
four days later and the Garmin site is back, rebuilt or recovered from their ransomware attack.

There’s not much more I can add to who I am.
…The Site
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.
