This wordpress site contains links to all of my current life (maintained) interests and archived (no longer maintained) pages dating back to the creation of the internet. Many of them were created using legacy software no longer available. Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGot an electrical problem that nobody else will touch? Been given a crazy quote? Let our 35 years’ experience turn your problem into our solution. We’re not always fast. We’re not always cheap. But we can always guarantee the best value from your existing assets!<\/span>\n\n\n\n\nNSW’s premier PA system installation contracting business for public schools. Over one third of public school students in NSW study in a school with a “PA Matthews Audio” PA system fitted over their head. Total world domination? Nah.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nFrom the early ’00s up until the mid 2010’s this was a thing. <\/font>

It still is a thing, although less in the lime light these days and more likely to pop up on social media than demand a separate web site with blog. <\/font>Follow the madness here, as it stands in history.<\/span><\/div>
This series of pages was originally created using a mix of HTML edit tools such as IXLA Web Easy and even older.. a 1990’s thing called “Coolpage”. It now sits behind a SSL equipped server so it should also load up as https.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n16th March 2002 was the day me and Sashi were married. We couldn’t find a decent and affordable wedding venue to hold the reception… so we decided to have it “everywhere” by hiring Red Set F1. The result was a wedding that NOBODY will forget. This was the last trip made by the train before the “long winter” of inactivity between 2002 and 2015. Most of the videos are now available here : https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@zordmaker<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nMy involvement with Sydney’s heritage electric fleet of course goes back to the dawn of time (1991) and that in itself could fill a book, but my current involvement mostly revolves around this org (which I started in 1998 but took a long break from between 2004 and 2016). HET gobbles up more than 50% of my hobby time in 2025.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nMy first foray into WordPress in 2017. Still a very relevant site for information about Sydney’s heritage electric train set F1. Also includes links to our “Jolly Johnson” train tour events when they are planned.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nEasily my oldest web presence dating back to the 1990s and still one of the most popular. “Film is Forever” they say. With the original Power Rangers movie now firmly a “cult classic”, details of my intricate involvement with this film’s production is still all over the internet. Created mostly using “Coopage”. The production history was updated as a PDF in 2015. This is another world that also features prominently in my youtube presence:<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nAnother 1990’s Coolpage offering. My life as “Electrician to the stars” began with Power Rangers in 1994 and stretched to about 2002 with many other feature films and TV shows under my belt. It kinda ended when practical effects gave way to computers. “In the box” solutions ended the era of building massive film sets and filling them with real light sources. The 1990s.. when we were making 21st century films with 1980s technology. It was a great ride while it lasted.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nI’ve been in and out of this over the years in varying degrees but have always presented the show “Inphase”. There’s a deep and interesting history – which can also be accessed and read via this current site. Now I’m back “in” it again as Treasurer for the time being, trying to keep it alive. I put a hell of a lot of my life into this org – but I always consider that over that time I’ve gotten more benefit back out than I put in.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nAlways playing third fiddle behind trains and radio, my interest in electromechanical telephone exchanges popped its head above the water many times. Atttempts to take it further (like to actualy establishing a museum) however never quite got there. That all said, there are some amazing stories to tell about this not entirely forgotten technology – and the story begins HERE. Created using IXLA Web Easy in the mid ’00s.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nA very old (1990s) coolpage site with some useful information about nudism, yet another world I am still involved in. Its the only place on the internet you’re ever going to find nude photos of myself. Quite a few of the links on this old page are broken, but the site content is still navigable. It stands as a heritage site that has now existed for more than 30 years.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nA “Men Only” festival style event held annually every November in Wisemans Ferry (NSW) and born out of the LGBQTI community. I am heavily involved in the production and ongoing planning in this event, which focuses on workshops and body work. One of my few social nudism outlets now that River Island is gone. This one saves lives (maybe even my life at one point) so its worth my passion, at least for one week a year.<\/font>\n\n\n\n\nMostly containing MP3 downloads of 1990’s SWRFM test broadcasts, but also incudes a collection of older material snaking all the way back to the 1970s with me and my Brother Keith mucing around in my bedroom during the Summer break in 1977. A WordPress clone site like this one.<\/font>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
