Weirdly dark and gloomy and warm. A very odd feel to the ride, and noticeably different to the weather over the weekend up around Ballarat!
YAY for Monash council, there are now some big, blue “DOGS ON LEASH” signs painted on the Scotchmans Creek trail from Forster road to the Huntingdale wetlands … maybe that’ll help remind the responsible dog owners of Monash to keep the damn things on leads
Quick count on the ride; 11 dogs on leads, one off. A pretty good day

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.
