Back to work at last…
Important things to do on the first day back include: paying the rent and phone bill, frantically digging through 200-odd emails that need reading — distinct from the other 200 that the spam filters have caught, replicating all my photos before a gremlin deletes them, checking up on the last two weeks’ worth of work-like stuff, and generally fending off colleagues who all want to see the wedding photos.
There was a man with a death wish on Ferntree Gully road this evening — on a bicycle in the dark, no lights, black jeans, dark jacket, riding the wrong way up the middle of the road!
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.
