After managing to roll over in the night and pull a muscle in my shoulder I couldn’t get to work — or probably do anything useful once there — so I stayed home and rested… and read… and finally experimented.
I’m not sure how legitimate it all is, but there’s now an image for my journal pages showing the country around the nearest airport. An ugly swag of my PHP using RDF API for PHP, a bunch of itty-bitty RDF files, munged together into a bigger collection of RDF, and a few scripts that use xplanet to pre-generate the images. So far, it all seems to work!
For example; there are days near Melbourne, and .

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.
