late afternoon with the sun starting to get low, the blackbird[3] is loudly calling in the bay tree
The mudlarks[1] seem to have been noisy all day – all week and month really – and the Rainbow lorikeets[2] are shrieking endlessly in the flowering callistemon, but as it cools down in the afternoon the blackbird[3] takes over [1] Magpie-lark [2] Rainbow lorikeet [3] Common blackbird

The garden bed around our lemon, orange and lime trees is now a sea of tiny tree seedlings from the mulch from nextdoor's tree!
brought up Postmarks on <https://pear-voracious-lemonade.glitch.me>
Implemented an instance of “postmarks” on https://glitch.me by duplicating the project and following the bouncing ball of the setup instructions. So far so good, will I use it to replace https://pinboard.in – the latter seems more polished, but the #fediverse integration and self-hosted nature of the former appeals https://pear-voracious-lemonade.glitch.me

The Spanish bluebells[1] are finally flowering, and freesias[2] in various colours. The garden smells of freesias and jasmine and the distinctive bay tree[3] blossom

The plum blossom has finished for the year, yesterday's wind stripped what's left, the new green leaves are appearing

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