They call me Mister Tibbs! ☀
Down along the Djerring trail, dodge the council or railway truck watering the gardens, up through Clayton, dodge the hospital staff who ignore give-way signs while crossing the bike path. Get to work. Drink coffee.
Odd duplication, Garmin managed to upload two copies of the ride, so Strava published two, stating on each of them that “Adrian Tritschler rode with Adrian Tritschler”. Would have thought somewhere they could detect two identical (to the millisecond) rides
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.
