I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

Four new spam messages every 3 minutes isn’t a good thing for me when trying to get more assessments done without having left enough time, especially as I can’t stand to see things stay in the mod queue. I would absolutely beat the crap out of whatever computer is running a job to send this stuff right about now. And probably the guy who scheduled the job, come to that. Grrr.
Die evil spammers!
Not content with the usual methods of food-related procrastination, I bring you this question:
How do people who wear glasses all the time manage hot drinks? I’m not that blind, only wearing reading glasses for longish stints and/or when headaches exist on the verge of consciousness. However, when negotiating a cup of tea, I find it suddenly rather difficult to see:
I know I’ve made posts like this before, but it feels neccessary to keep doing so such that the strangeness of such occurences may continue to be acknowledged.
Picked up a page of scribbled notes, and mentally reached for Ctrl + F. I realised it wasn’t possible, but the reason I didn’t think it possible was because it was too messy for OCR. So… OCR is now being performed with searches on random physical objects. Weird geeks…
As if this server wasn’t pushing enough traffic per day already (this site is generally 100MB/day of what you’ll see on that graph, plus spider traffic), I finally got around to sitting down and fixing the broken stuff about the gallery here. Well, okay, Ben did most of the fixing. I changed some URI structures/added some rules so that old permalinks start working again. Anyway, point is, all the old stuff is working again now. Not that this probably affects many/any of you who read blog stuff, unless you’re feeling nostalgic. Shrug :)
I’m now of mixed mind as to where to upload more photos. Flickr is fun + makes editing metadata easily + I’ve paid for it for a year. But here is stable + I have complete control and… blah blah blah… it’s not owned by Yahoo! (yet ;-) err I mean… *cough*)
Ah well. Flickr API’s make it easy to pull data out quick + easily. So conceivably it’d be not too hard to write something to “export” to cat-scan. Maybe by this time next year…
I’ve got 8,480 images under this domain, according to Google Image Search. You’re limited to 50 pages of image matches I think (1000 images, 20 per page), but it’s still good to get an overall impression of the amount of graphical content on a domain. Mine is slightly biased because of year12.joahua.com. Without it, I’ve still got a rather-solid 3,760 images online (so, on/associated with this blog, basically).
