It’s getting a bit tiresome, but I think this motorist takes the cake. Or this week’s cake anyway.
So congratulations to the driver of the red Mitsubishi Mirage, registration ###-###, you have qualified for the idiot of the day.
There he was, driving along the Monash freeway in the right hand land, ten km/hr slower than everyone else. Yes, he was on the phone. He did have a hands-free kit installed, however, he was holding the phone in his right hand, credit card in his left, and had his head tilted right back so he could read the number off the card through the lower half of his bi-focal glasses while he typed them in.

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.
