After the Gravel Grind ride last Sunday, or the corrugated parts
in particular, one of my bidon cages has worked loose and the
bottle has wobbled to and fro on my rides to work. Hunting around
for the correct sized allen key this morning I found out just how
many of them I have lying around the house… and shed.
Unfortunately I think I’ve only got one or two of the 2mm size that
these bolts are I was beginning to suspect that I’d carefully put
them somewhere safe – so safe that I couldn’t find them. At last
I found one, upstairs in an old toolbox, and could tighten the
bolts back up.

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.
