Finally got a round tuit, then I got sick of making bad jokes and took Mr Damage off to see the mechanic for new fork seals. With his eagle eye, the mechanic quickly spots that I am not mechanically minded, and points out that a new set of front brake pads would be well received also.
$332.90 later, I have new fork seals, new front brake pads, and a shiny front end of the bike where its all been washed and cleaned. I then rode out the front of the shop and promptly chugged to a halt at the next set of lights as the clutch dragged itself to a stop! It must have known that I’d visited the mechanic…

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.
