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.

New website goes live!

Or rather, went live sometime yesterday.  I’ve posted a link to this archive from the main site, so I figured it would make sense to do the same from here, just in case people stumble upon this website in the wrong direction.

The main blog can be viewed at http://joahua.com/blog/.  My name is Joahua, and I have a brand new WordPress blog.  This isn’t a crime against humanity, contrary to popular opinion — it’s merely a better way of doing what I was already doing on this blog.  Watch the other space for a full rant on why I’m using WordPress, instead of “rolling my own”…

Google turns 6

Well, turned six, yesterday… I didn’t think to blog it, though. They seem a lot older, somehow…

Hat tip: TroIdus.com

For Sale: House. Sydney, Australia

I’d be immensely entertained if someone actually did wind up buying a house after reading about it on a blog site, but I’m posting it here more for entertainment value than anything else.

I live here, in Kensington of the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. You may have where I live if you give me $AU1,150,000.

All interested parties are advised to comment using the form below… we weren’t going to auction it, but I’d be entertained if people decided to bid here, anyway. ;-)

p.s. We really are selling our house, but the spot about bidding in comments is a joke. Just to clarify.

Joahua.com goes live

I’m far from 100% happy with this, and am well aware that certain aspects of the website aren’t functional, however here it is! To be honest, it was my desire to share the below post with the world which hastened the delivery of this page, however there were other reasons, also.

Just for the record, when I said I ordered “Joahua” on my Year 12 jersey for next year, I wasn’t telling the whole truth — it is in fact “Joahua.com”. Now now, be nice to the geek.

Enjoy what content is visible on the front page for the time being, until my sub-pages and permalinks start working properly, at which time you can view full articles and comment to your hearts content!

Excuse me whilst I get back to hacking the world, or at least my blog. One baby step at a time…

Commenting and permalinks working

After briefly attacking several .htaccess files, everything appears to be working in what may be described as a “normal” fashion. We’ll see if the normality lasts, as I’ve got a handful more things I wish to implement, and five days off in which I’m studying. Whilst my days will be filled with academic pursuits, my evenings have to be spent doing something, and working on this site is as good as anything else ;-)
