How many interesting numbers are there out there that people know and remember? Doing my lunch-time CD importing, and listening to a bit of music, there in the background of Killing Joke’s Mathematics of Chaos is a female voice repeating over and over, “875 020 079”…. What does it mean? As always, google is your friend. A nerdly star-trek reference. Oh well.
And a strange coincidence. Ministry’s Psalm 69 was the last CD I read in to be imported into my iPod. Then I plugged in the iPod and found there were 69 songs to be imported.
Why can I remember numbers and not names?
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.
