Two successes. A good day. They’re not even in the same league though.
First, Joey called from Vermont and we spent half an hour on the phone. Despite all, she’s having a great time, saw some whales near Cape Cod and is now in the forests, where she’s seen a skunk and is now on the lookout for mooses.
Second, with a little fiddling and help from http://my.gnus.org, I’ve got both IMAP and HTTP traffic out of wyvern to be tunneled via SSL.
Too tired to go out four nights in a row, so the Cruel Sea will have to wait for their next visit to town.
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.
