Welcome to Lios, my personal Sun Microsystems workstation, which is part of the Core Matrix Foundation (affiliated with GreenSpore and HereticWeb).

Lios is connected to the Internet via my local network (known as Orbnet), and the Sydney region of the Australian Public Access Network Association.

If you're interested, check out the hardware and software I'm using.

Other machines located here are Jedi (my APANA Sydney member-access server), and Treefern (my local FTP server).

You can view this machine's web server logfile analysis which is generated by The Webalizer. You might also like to check the stats page of my main server.

The following sites and services are available from here:

- My main home page. This is where you'll find a comprehensive collection of info about me, including my biography and my resume.

- My computing and electrotechnology account, which is where you'll find the Sun Shack - my collection of Sun Microsystems data and information. In conjunction with the Sun Shack I also auction Sun equipment, etc. via Ebay.

- If you are interested in sourcing surplus and/or pre-loved Sun Microsystems equipment, check out Sun Ripened Kernels - my commercial Sun surplus business. Please note these pages cannot be hosted here because they contravene the APANA Acceptable Use Policy.

- My rail transport and railway modelling account is where you'll find lots of information about prototype railways and railway modelling from an Australian and New Zealand perspective.

- My personal Saab page and my specialist Saab C900 Workshop site cater for my growing interest in Saab's 'Classic' 900-series cars which were built between 1979 and 1993 MCR.

- In my guise as Zonavar I express my interests in alternative electronic audio/visual arts. I'm also a member of Clan Analogue, an Australian collective of people with similar interests.

- The machines here are part of the Core Matrix Foundation, a collective which strives to fight for freedom of speech, especially in electronic communication. The CMF is an affiliate of GreenSpore and HereticWeb.

- If you're truly a voyeur, check out the Lab Cam to see what I'm up to. Be warned that it's a (mostly) live webcam, very strange things can happen (including erotic activity). 8-)

Boycott Micro$oft

Are you sick of the lack of competition in the information systems industries, especially the software industry? Are you sick of companies that believe they have a mandate to take over, monopolise and control as much of the IS industry as they can, and ultimately control and manipulate the way we lives our lives? If you are, join the Boycott Micro$oft campaign and support competition, free markets and innovation.

Dont be Soft on Microsoft!

Bill Gates is the modern-day equivalent of a Robber Baron, well on his way to creating a Microsoft monopoly. Microsoft's operating system and software are installed in a majority of the personal computers on the market today, and because Microsoft controls the standards and architecture that control the design of software, the company continues to capture market share.

When necessary, Microsoft buys up its competitors. Consumers are increasingly dependent on computers and the Internet for both business and personal communications. A Microsoft monopoly threatens to end innovation and leave consumers without competitive choices. Join NetAction's Consumer Choice Campaign today!
