Off to the dentist this morning, an hour of sitting with my mouth jammed open, far too many implements and fingers being stuffed in there. If only I could have chosen better tooth genes… Perhaps nanotechnology tooth-repair, it would have to be better than drillings and fillings. Felt too woozy afterwards to go to work, I’ve come home to spend the day sulking on the couch.
The weather’s been in tune with my mood too — gray and dismal all day. I listened to the Cure and tried to label a few older photos — its scary how quickly some of the names and places blur. I must make time on our trip to write something down every day.
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.
