Fast service. They promise two day delivery on the website, but the new toy arrived today. (S/N VP2060.023221). Definitely easier than lugging a laptop around overseas. Now if only it had a few more smarts and an ethernet port…
Chased up the broken toy too. Although they didn’t give us any warranty cards or paperwork with the , at least Dick Smith could tell me that there’s a three year warranty on it and to call TEAC directly. No questions asked, Mr TEAC will be over in a flash (eleven days from now) to poke the broken power switch.
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.
