A wonderful sign that I walk past nearly everyday, the juxtaposition of the “welcome” with the barbed wire all strikes me as funny. There’s hardly ever anyone in the R.A.O.B., but occasionally we see a car drive in. See R.A.O.B. for more details I guess!
Another scene that sums up Australia; we’d just finished the grocery shopping and stopped in at the Vietnamese bakery in the mall for some fresh bread for lunch. What should we choose? Would it be the French stick or the Turkish bread? Turkish bread from a Vietnamese bakery in a Greek suburb for Australia day lunch!

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.
