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.

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

Openphoto closed off
Biting the bullet and declaring the experiment over
Some time back around 2012 I became interested in Openphoto, which changed into trovebox, but then turned into abandone-ware. I’d spun up the server at openphoto.ajft.org on AWS and uploaded photos on and off over the next six years, then went back to Flickr as it just kept on working and kept on being more useful given the size of the community

…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.
