Super fish on tomato 🌧
Moriac to Lorne, the inland route. Will require some editing as my garmin thinks I did 50km and averaged 165km/hr in the first minute.
Lovely rural detour south and west from the main road, then far too many idiot motorists from Deans Marsh through the forest to Lorne. Sticky dirt roads giving that lovely “is my rear tyre going flat?” feeling, herds of jersey cattle watching me pass. The side roads were interesting, but hilly
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.
