Josh (the blog)

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.

CMYK (for Those Who Do RGB)

Dave Shea’s mezzoblue.com has an interesting and informative post on using CMYK colours. You’ll know if this interests you, so go check it out or not based on that ;)

My funky whiteboard thing

It sits on top of the monitor and you can write on it and it’s very funky.

Look at the funky whiteboard!!!

My new phpSysInfo page

If you’re feeling luc… err… geeky, then take a look at my new BSD server’s phpSysInfo page. Yes, the / partition is at 102% capacity… a manual df -h reports that, so no, it’s not a phpSysInfo bug. Having said that, it’s not causing any problems, I’m disinclined to go poking!

Some reports that people can’t access this page… should be able to fine, I’m checking it out now…

Later: I visited it using a proxy server and it was still working, so the outside world can clearly get to it. Perhaps there are problems with users DNS stuff, as it’s a CNAME pointing to a dyndns service…

Motivational what?

Apparently our year group is being subjected to two hours of motivational speaker tomorrow morning. There’s my remarkably positive outlook for you — hey, at least it doesn’t involve work ;)

No, I do not need motivation. Go away! Muwahahaha.

Change of details

If you haven’t already figured out the new address from previous postings, or couldn’t be bothered to click a link through to the “Sold” page to find out where it was, I’m posting new details now. Additionally, there are co-ordinates posted on my Contact page should you wish to send ICBM’s this way…

12 Magill Street
RANDWICK 2031
NSW, Australia

The fixed telephone number has also changed; if you need it, send me an email or text (SMS) me (mobile number is posted on contact page), and I’ll give it to you. Yeah, I actually would rather the whole world didn’t know that one, really.

My josh@ii.net address is no longer used, finally. Yes, I did just post a mailto link. Hopefully anyone else who trys to use it in the future will initially login, get too much spam in the first hour, and decide that was a stupid, stupid idea and go for a more obscure address. And just for the record, most of the spam was attained by previous owners (and other people who were utterly convinced that it was their email address, despite it being mine and mine alone for probably over a year. Yes, Josh Marks of South Australia, I’m looking at you.), not me, so don’t go accusing me of being irresponsible with the email address to the extent that it became widely circulated! As it is, I was probably asking for it by having a commonname@isp.tld address, but still, irresponsible usage certainly played a part in the spam received.

To contact me electronically, use the contact form and I’ll email you back (and you can reply to that address), or simply send email to whatever address you would like to use at this domain — that is to say, a catch-all. I know that was worded terribly obscurely, but I’m paranoid about such things — if you need to send me an email, the contact form does just that.
