About Josh Dura
I hate About pages. I really do. They are uncomfortable to write, and never come out in the right way. The obligatory image of myself will NOT be making an appearance here, until I find one that I like (ie - see Hell freezing over).
Whats the purpose?
A lot of people that don't understand the community, or weblogs in general, usually ask me what the point of me having this site is. Well, basically, it's a place for 1) me to upload the work I love to share with the community, 2) a place for me to communicate and network with the community, and most of all 3) a place for me to rant when I am frustrated.
What I do
Currently, I am employed at Yahoo! in the beautiful Deep Ellum district of Dallas. I work there as a Flash Developer, mostly developing Flash Communications Server applications. I also do a lot of freelance work, so if you are in need of a Flash Developer, let me know. You can view my portfolio of work here.
Colophon
This website runs on the latest version of the TextPattern blogging system. The following plugins are used to structure some of the more complex data...
- ajw_if_comment_owner - Displays my comments as a seperate style.
- glx_gravatar - Helps display Gravatars on comments.
- rss_suparchive - The greatest TextPattern plugin to ever be made.
The backend of JoshDura.com is run on PHP/MySQL. The links section was brought to you by Ramanan Sivaranjan with some great work by Abel Rios (helped get it working with RC3).
