tumblelog Got Listed

In the early afternoon I checked the traffic page of the Github repository of tumblelog. I noticed listed under referring sites the site wolfgirl.dev. Checking her blog I found out I got listed in her Other Static Site Generators post:

tumblelog by John: Both Python & Perl versions of the same program, kept in feature parity?? They say it hasn't been done before now. Interesting concept to use Markdown files as the basis for templating instead of HTML; I guess makes sense given technically it's a subset, and given the intended use of the program (microblogging).

Wow!

Her earlier post, So I've Been Thinking About Static Site Generators, got mentioned on Lobsters two months ago. And tumblelog got mentioned in a comment.

A New Orchid for My Small Collection

In the afternoon Esme and I went to De Carlton, a garden centre which is just a short bike ride from our house. Esme wanted some plants for our garden and I wanted to have a look at the orchids, first.

Soon, I noticed a section with "Cambria" orchids. From what I understand those are technically × Alicerara the hybrid name for intergeneric hybrids between three orchid genera: Brassia × Miltonia × Oncidium. Commercially, × Cambria is used.

I selected a large specimen with two flower stalks, one of which had still closed flower buds. Later, I went back to take some photos of the flowers of other Cambria orchids on display.

After Esme and I had selected some more plants for our garden we paid and left on our bikes. Back home, I first took a close-up photo of the orchid I had bought.

Next. I took a photo of the whole plant in its dark flowerpot, which we also bought in the same garden centre. The orchid will share a small table, together with two small Phalaenopsis sp. orchids.
