Ah, the fun of small children. Will has a cold and cried all night to keep his parents awake, Jack slept through all this, but decided to be a brat all morning. Tempers were fraying, so Jack and I left the house and walked down to the beach. It was either that, or he was likely to get a thumping…
Hardly beach weather, but that’s hard to explain to a three year-old. Off came the clothes, and into the tannin-stained waters of the Erskine river estuary. Amazing that when I could eventually drag him out he had neither gone blue nor brown.

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.
