All-natural web development

GreenAsh is a one-man show, based in Sydney Australia and run by Jeremy Epstein (Jaza). GreenAsh specialises in developing web sites that take care of themselves. Our favourite tool is an open source web Content Management System called Drupal, which we use to build sites that virtually anyone can update, and that your visitors can interact with.

GreenAsh contains no artificial preservatives (e.g. applets), no artificial sweeteners (e.g. Flash), and no artificial colours (e.g. ActiveX). It will not harm your unborn baby (like table-based layouts do). It is 100% clean and semantic, all-natural HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. However, It may contain traces of [web developers who are slightly] nuts.

This site is where I write about the thoughts in my head, where I offer online resources, and where I advertise my skills and services.

Fresh thoughts

Media through the ages

The 20th century was witness to the birth of what is arguably the most popular device in the history of mankind: the television. TV is a communications technology that has revolutionised the delivery of information, entertainment and artistic expression to the masses. More recently, we have all witnessed (and participated in) the birth of the Internet, a technology whose potential makes TV pale into insignificance in comparison (although, it seems, TV isn't leaving us anytime soon). These are fast-paced and momentous times we live in. I thought now would be a good opportunity to take a journey back through the ages, and to explore the forms of (and devices for) media and communication throughout human history.
