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.

Morons. And today I do not count myself in their midst.
I am currently being irritated by the slightest show of ignorance in any web-related discipline. WSG list is royally pissing me off at the minute. I am quite aware the problem is probably my own and very little to do with the relative intelligence of the wider Internet.
Grumble grumble grumble.

Please be praying we find someone good (or, suitably sinful but repentant and appropriately talented, because there’s nearly no such thing as a good person).
Ad proper after the break:

And another one on SydneyAnglicans for good measure. You don’t have to be an Anglican and possibly could get away living somewhere other than Sydney to do the job!
Job ads are marginally expensive… we’d better get some applicants from those two!
I’ve had to disable Google Sitemaps for this site in a bid to stop post and comment form submissions resulting in a blank page. Probably gonna negate a bit of the Google Love but that’s okay, the blank pages have been driving me batty! WordPress plugin Google Sitemaps basically uses too much memory (I think… PHP error reporting isn’t turned on on this server so I can’t be 100% sure)… last time it succeeded it wrote a 3MB file I think. Could also be a gzip related issue but I doubt it (gzip works fine for other things IIRC).
So enjoy commenting again without a horribly blank screen greeting you!
This makes me angry. I believe it to be, in large part anyway, truthful. I have no elaborate political response to give other than general disgust. It is curious that mainstream media (i.e. film: Children of Men, V for Vendetta, etc.) should borrow so effectively from contemporary events but to such innocuous effect. Matters are not apparently as bad as they [were] in Guantanamo, and the extrapolation of these methods of government is, in my experience, more likely to desensitise than mobilise an audience.
(And no, I will not vote for The Greens. Some evils are greater than others.)
