A Header Image for my Bandcamp Posts
While writing up I decided I needed a header image for all my bandcamp blog posts so I created one; a combination of my profile image from bandcamp, the bandcamp logo and because I wanted it wider, an xplanet view centred on home (or at least the nearest airport)

Ubuntu nastiness -- partial upgrade killed the gnome desktop
I logged in this morning to see the updater telling me that a partial upgrade was available, which I thought unusual as that’s usually for the xx04 or xx10 version changeovers. Hit “OK” and it started, then popped up a huge error box across the screen telling me I had no desktop installed (none of ubuntu-desktop or many others, not recorded). Gnome then exited, back to a console login. Manually installed ubuntu-desktop which pulled in a whole bunch of packages that I’d seen removed.

The bay tree has had a large pruning to take weight off one dodgy trunk and amazingly, it is hardly noticeable from in the garden
pants hassles!
My work pants are cheap Kmart black chinos, the old pair wore out so I went and bought a new pair without really looking at them. Still black, still the same size, still the same price. Chucked them in my bag and brought them to work, then got changed. Surprise! This pair only have a right rear pocket, not a left, so the pocket that for decades I use to carry my keys around isn’t there.
Day 1258 ⛅ winter 2 work

woken up by hammering. Oddly, sounds like someone nearby repairing a fence, no idea where though
Hammering continued, on and off, for over an hour. Was sorely tempted to get up and go out searching for itbamboo trellis tripods installed around the broad beans, pak choi planted
wardrobe failure, I put my toe through the material of my work pants while getting changed … I told you they were getting old, thin and worn
Day 1254 ☀️ around some trails

About
ajft looking stylish and black
…The Owner
There’s not much more I can add to who I am.
…The Site
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.
