This is being typed from memory in my spare time and I haven’t finished writing it so….
Ever tried to get eight people coordinated, packed, and on their bikes in the morning? There was no food in the house so we were arranging to have breakfast down in the town, but had to get the bags back to the camp ground and onto the trucks. The bags went in the taxi, Jo and I took off and (just) beat the taxi to the campground, then met the others at the local bakery. Coffees and assorted breakfasts were consumed, the chocolate croissants from the bakery being absolutely brilliant.

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