Adrian Tritschler's stuff
My website, an agglomerative mess, probably half-eaten by a grue

Under the house may finally be cat-proof again… or at least cat-resistant
After spending a couple of hours on Saturday & Sunday I’ve reattached all the weatherboards and base-boards that the restumpers removed to get access — I may not have done it well, but there don’t seem to be any holes left for the feral ginger cat to get in through. It appeared twice yesterday evening on the back porch and back garden, but bolted off when we approached. First night in four or five days it hasn’t woken me between 2-5am yowling under or around the house.There’s not much more I can add to who I am.
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.
