Solo from Lorne to Aireys Inlet, then joined by family for a dirt road explore. Easy first half out along Distillery Creek rd, then sharp right and steeply up alongside power lines on Bubbs track. I did ask if we try and ride up there, the doubters weren’t loud enough to drown out the attitude of “how hard could it be” as we rode, slid, and often walked, up the steep eroded track
Slightly more rideable on Gilbert street back towards the lighthouse – and definitely a memorable afternoon out

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.
