A poorly configured "cycling podcast" survey
An email survey arrives. The survey states: “Whether you’re a member or simply a listener.” Well, um, I’m neither, but I started filling out the podcast survey anyway, until … bounced to a page that says I can’t continue unless I sign in. I guess your survey results will say that 100% of your listeners are members

A morning walk and a very nonchalant treecreeper spiralled around a gum tree in the car park
I’ve usually found them to be quite shy but this one by the Erskine river in Lorne seemed to be completely ignoring us as we walked past and stopped to watch its search for insects White-throated treecreeperThere's a female Satin bowerbird in the garden here at Lorne
Not the first one I’ve seen this year, but unusual enough to note here (see #birdsseenin2024 list for the first one) Satin bowerbird (f) – Bright

…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.
