Internet services and other Work stuff

(also known as the "why I don't have any spare time" section :-)

I am Managing Director of Sublime IP Pty Ltd. Sublime IP (formerly known as JustNet) is a family-owned Internet services business based in Australia. JustNet, and the somewhat related DIALix (Australia's first commercial ISP) have been keeping me busy in various ways since 1992.

One of the things I enjoy most about my work relates to our domain name registration business GoDomains and the opportunities this gives to deal with people all over the world.

What did an early ISP look like?

Check out this behind the scenes glimpse at the workings of an Internet Service Provider from the early 1990s. At the time there were only a handful of ISPs in Australia, and one of them, DIALix, is shown here.

Eat, drink and be merry

Eat, Drink and be Merry
One of my favourite "foods" is fresh herbs. Also, try a few of my favourite recipes or enjoy a cocktail.

Marine Environment

I have maintained various fish tanks over the years, with salt water tanks being the most interesting (but also expensive and time-consuming).

I enjoy visiting aquariums around the world - particularly reef tanks. Browse through my Marine Images Gallery for a look at some exotic marine life.

See my salt-water aquarium page for marine life in my lounge room. See also my brother Max's Marine Aquarium page for some great photos of some of the sea life from around Manly in Sydney, Australia.

I also love snorkelling whenever I get the chance (and particularly when the water is warm!) Sydney has some amazing snorkelling spots that still surprise me sometimes.

Northern Beaches

Check out some of (Northern) Sydney's Coastline with my quick virtual trip from Sydney Harbour to the Northern Beaches. See also northernbeaches.com which is currently being constructed (well, actually nothing has changed for years, but the idea is still there.)

Dubbo Zoo

A Virtual Tour of Dubbo Western Plains Zoo

Wondering whether the five hour drive from Sydney is worth it? Here's the piccys to prove it!

Australian Culture

Check out some Australian poetry and song lyrics such as A Bush Christening by Banjo Paterson or Australiana by Austen Tayshus.

Sydney loves to party, and what is a big party without fireworks? I have lots of pictures from popular Austrlian events such as the New Year's Eve fireworks on Sydney harbour (1998).

Water
Some watery places I like around Sydney.

Sexy video cameras and digital video information.

Things I do for pleasure

Photography, particularly close-ups of people, Australian bush, wildflowers and beaches, and Australian birds, lizards and other animals. I also like street photography when I get the chance.
Food is fun to buy, especially fresh food. I like buying fresh baked bread, herbs and fruit and vegies.
Dropping in on people unexpectedly (you have been warned :-)
Spending time with friends, going out etc.
Listening to music. Lots of diverse musical interests including nasty modern pop, classical (especially piano such as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata or just about anything by Debussy. My interest in particular bands has obviously changed a fair bit over the years but if I had to pick a favourite all-time band I would say U2. I enjoy listening to the radio when I have a chance, but there's usually way too many ads. For this reason, I like finding new stations that are either going for a new license from the ABA or just starting out, and haven't yet got enough of an audience to draw in lots of advertisers. 96.9 FM (in Sydney) was good for this over the past few years. Now it is Nova, who I listen too quite a bit but the ads do get a bit much at times. I also flick through 2DAY FM, MMM, MIX (yikes did I say that - target audience is middle aged women I think) and various others. For classical 92.9 - ABC Classic FM - is often playing things I enjoy in quieter moods, and occassionally I catch an interview I find interesting too.
Bushwalking. Favourite spots include Dobroyd Head, North Head, West Head, Bradleys Head, Manly Dam and various walks around Blackheath and the Bluegum Forest in the Blue Mountains. I also enjoy walking wherever I find myself in the world, whether it be climing a volcano in Japan or going for a wanderweg in Switzerland and straying off inadvertently into Germany.
Eating out at nice restaraunts and cafes (especially if someone else is paying ;-)
Eating generally.. I am quite fond of seafood (mainly the expensive stuff unfortuantely :-( My favourite cuisines include Japanese, French and Thai but I also love Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese...
Feeling the warmth of the sun. That big firey ball in the sky sure is nice!

Expanding my Self Knowledge.
Driving! Never mind getting from A to B. The bit in the middle's got to be an experience too! Not quite as much fun as was with a brand new sports car at age 18 but I still like to hit the road from time to time.

See a Summary of the World for a sombre reminder of where we live.

Or for a little light relief, check out the glove joke (potentially offensive!).

Here is the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House by night, probably Australia's most photographed icons.
