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

Around the lake, around the velodrome, around some back streets.
Yay, beat the storm home. Boo, nearly got taken out by entitled woman walking off footpath into the road in front of me.

Heading south, I’m sure one of the roads that I glanced at on the map simply wasn’t there when I got to it. Saw two eastern rosellas, nothing in the kookaburra’s nesting tree, and one homeless guy’s camp.
Too many piles of dumped junk, endless reminders of how wasteful everyone is. All the left-over uncollectable car tyres and gas bottles just dumped on the street, smashed TVs and other glass glittering along the streets
AWOL now has a tube, yay. AWOL has a completely dead chain and chainrings, boo.

Overshot the 5km boundary, missed a turn off in the rain. Did I say rain? Why yes I did. Apparently a cold shower is invigorating and character building. My character is well built.

Be like Jesus… ride to the bakery and fish shop for loaves and fishes

Cold, grey, and Oakleigh East is full of junk. Still on the singlespeed

On the 5km limit to the north is “Adrian street, Burwood” - it seemed an appropriate point to visit. A rain drenched face mask does a good job of self-water-boarding, cannot recommend. Still on the fixie, must fix the AWOL flat some day

Single again… speed that is. Out on the fixie since the AWOL has a puncture

Ouch. Came off the edge of a bike path and put the front wheel in a slot between kerb & road, half ripped the tyre off, blew out the tube and nearly sprained both wrists. Called for lift home.

Council hard-rubbish collection starts tomorrow. Absolutely astounding piles of junk outside every second house

Shopping via hard-rubbish viewing; fish, chicken, bread and forgetting to turn garmin on for the trip home.
Looks a bit like a very long horned cow

Ride not long enough. Still fuming about angry locals who nearly drove into me on the Oakleigh shops roundabout.. twice, then spat out the window calling me an f’ing dickhead. Noice commadore mayt

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.
