Ignore the Klimat weather report below, there was a spectacularly clear, totally cloudless blue sky. No wind, a lovely wintery day
Seizing the best part of the afternoon while WFH, off on the fixie for a loop around bits of Murrumbeena and Bentleigh East, the red bits of the #wandrer map had caught my eye and I’ll fill in a couple more – leaving the ugly hard bits of North Road for some other day. A chill in the air, definitely an afternoon to seek the sunshine and not the shade

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.
