I called in at Kay & Burton to pick up the replacement garage door remote control this morning then, discovered when I get to work and go to put the battery in it that no one has bothered to set the combination! Call Peter, the maintenance manager … again. He expresses dismay at the continued stuff-ups and isn’t sure what the combination is since people have been fiddling with the old remote. He suggests a combination for me to try, and that he will try and contact the body corporate to find out the combinations.
Not surprisingly, the suggested combination does not work when I get home. (1,7,9 on, the rest off)
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.
