Hilarious, some passer-by has decided that the daffodils in our front garden looked nice β¦ and has cut off and stolen the lot!
I suspect the mumβs doing the school drop off, whoever did it used scissors and cut neatly, so Iβm guessing it was premeditated and theyβd seen them one time then came back to steal themQOTD: βThis is the price list for inflicting societal suffering. Pick the one that suits your business model.β

Annoyingly, some combination of Strava, Vivaldi and possibly ublock now preventing strava from completely displaying on the work macBook
update: From a post on reddit, appears to be a Vivaldi problem on all platforms

β¦The Owner
Thereβs not much more I can add to who I am.
β¦The Site
Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then Iβd have to kill youβ¦
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 thereβs 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. Iβve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years Iβve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remainedβ¦ 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.
