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

Since changing my ordinary account from being Administrator equivalent to power-user, the Garmin Training Centre software won’t run. Logged in as Administrator and uninstalled it, then logged out and logged in as the ordinary account. Training Centre gets all the way through its install and only then tells you that it can’t run. Logged back in as Administrator and uninstalled, then reinstalled it. Logged out and back in as ordinary account and try to run it, still fails on every attempt, a dialog box states:
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.
