old mate has a different iced coffee bottle today, still lobbed over the fence from the park into the back garden
Finally got around to cutting down the trunk of the dead birch tree on the south of the house, two left still growing, until the next heatwave

While having lunch a Grey butcherbird[1] landed on the porch railing and watched us through the window, while singing and shouting at the cat

The front lawn and path are absolutely covered in dozens of snails, I have no idea where they all came from
A Satin bowerbird[1] flew up to the neighbour's balcony, amazingly glossy blue-black
I’ve seen a few of the greeny-brown females around, this is the first male I’ve seen here in town [1] Satin bowerbird
QOTD: It's going to take some time before I get used to seeing the words "King Charles" not immediately followed by "spaniel"

Duplicati stopped working 3 days after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 - Support - Duplicati
I’ve been using Ubuntu 22.04 since it came out, so five months or so. Duplicati 2.0.6.3_beta was running fine every day until the most recent kernel update & reboot (Sep 7). I suspect one of the ssl libraries got updated along the way and the 15 month old beta can’t cope https://forum.duplicati.com/t/duplicati-stopped-working-3-days-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-22-04/14944/2
poring over google maps and the map of stage 15 of La Vuelta[1] and comparing to my 1998 bike tour route when I rode over Sierra Nevada to Capileira[2]

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.
