First hike of our Intrepid Kakadu/NT hiking trip – about an hour up around Ubirr in Kakadu. Hot “summer” weather as far as I’m concerned, but here you’ve a choice of the dry season and the wet season, and this is winter in the dry. Stunning landscapes, and the classic rock art that we’ve seen in books and documentaries for years
I stuck my cycling Garmin Edge in my pocket to track the hike, not entirely sure how well that will work, we’ll find out over the course of the week …

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.
