Apparently my website needs some help...
Hi,
I've jotted down a few notes about rowanmanning.com (I came across your
site during my third thursday morning coffee!). I hope you don't mind me
dropping you a line, but I have some feedback about your site that could
be of benefit to you.
I work for SiteWizard.co.uk (you might have heard of us, we are a low
cost digital marketing company that's been trading since 1997 and is
probably the most recommended web services company in the UK).

An email my mum received

I was shocked when my mum forwarded me the following email. She's very tech-savvy and wouldn't fall for this kind of thing, but it's a worrying indicator that "mobile web design" is now a big enough space that it's being targeted by these kinds of douchebags.

Hi,

I'm Andrew from [company name] and I'm a mobile website specialist. I was browsing your site and noticed you don't have a mobile version for your customers. The website currently makes it hard for your customers to tap the screen to call you and find the relevant information they need quickly.

I'll get straight to the point, I'm just finishing off designing you your own mobile optimised website, just like the one you see here: [link to really awful "mobile" version of another site]. It shows the comparison between a normal desktop site and a mobile optimised site. There are now more customers visiting your website on a mobile phone than a laptop or computer, they have overtook computer use in 2013. If you don't have your website optimised

nginx port 80 firewall hack thing

All assumes you're running nginx on port 8080. Change ports to suit your needs.

  1. Copy ipfw.plist into /Library/LaunchDaemons/ipfw.plist
  2. Copy ipfw.conf into /etc/ipfw.conf

If you want this to work straight away, you may need to run:

$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/ipfw.plist

Testing out Wesley (https://github.com/adlawson/wesley) from a simple browser client. You can test this with the command line client which comes bundled with Wesley.
