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

On the causes of the First World War

WWI was one of the most costly and the most gruesome of wars that mankind has ever seen. It was also one of the most pointless. I've just finished reading The First Casualty, a ripper of a novel by author and playwright Ben Elton. The novel is set in 1917, and much of the story takes place at the infamous Battle of Passchendaele, which is considered to have been the worst of all the many hellish battles in the war. I would like to quote one particular passage from the book, which I believe is the best summary of the causes of WWI that I've ever read.
