Arrived back in Melbourne at 06:15 and leisurely made my way through customs and to the baggage area. There was no point hurrying since bicycles and other large pieces of luggage are the last things to be brought out.
By the time that the bike turned up the crowds had dispersed and I walked straight through customs. There was a momentary delay when I stated that the bike was not spotlessly clean, but after a quick peek in the box I was allowed to continue without having to quarantine it for six months!
A cup of coffee and a brief breakfast and then there I was, back in Melbourne.
Adrian Tritschler's stuff
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.
