Another sunny spring afternoon, plenty of people out and about as the playgrounds are now open and we’re allowed out for two hours now. No bunyips

Warm sunny afternoon, paths and parks are packed. Met the bloke who sleeps rough in the wetlands park & the bird hide full of smoking teens again. Nearly got wrapped in someone’s big-game fishing dog lead, hate those things

Gently rolling afternoon ride, trying hard not to exacerbate painful spasming ITB.

Parks & paths are packed, masks, mostly not. Sunny day, I think people have run out of care factor

@ Adrian Tritschler

Clipped at lights by motorist ignoring “Forward bike box” on Belgrave rd then 10min later knocked off bike on #Djerringtrail by motorist ignoring stop sign and tearing out of railway car park, how’s your Friday going? Arse hurts, wrist hurts, knee hurts. Bloody Falcons, bloody Audis, bloody drivers. Oh well, at least the post clipping adrenalin resulted in a PR along Murrumbeena road

…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.
