G'Day,
as you've probably already figured out, I have a little more than a passing interest with Hot Rods and modified cars in general. I'm also pretty lucky to have been working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Unix workstations, high performance PC's and LAN and WAN networks for the last 10 years.
The internet has taken up a large slice of my time for the last 3 years, I have been involved in the design and collection of content for my current employers website Department of Infrastructure. And am now working on the Victorian State Government's, Electronic Services Delivery Project, MAXI, this will provide a one stop shop for all State government services by the year 2001, through a presence on the internet with the Citizens Channel, Business Channel and Land Channel and through kiosks to be installed in Post Offices, Libraries and many State Government Offices.

When the opportunity came to develop a site for the ASRF, I jumped at it. A naturnal extension was to create a site for my own club, BAY RODDERS. The Hot Rods Down Under site, is mine for me to play with and experiment with. The DLRA site is the second site I have been commisioned to create.

Sites that I have designed and constructed : -

• Australian Street Rod Federation Web Site http://www.asrf.org.au/
• Bay Rodders Inc http://www.vicnet.net.au/~bayrod/
• Dry Lakes Racers Australia http://www.vicnet.net.au/~drla/
• Hot Rods Down Under http://www.geocities.com/gregwapling/
• Woppa's GIS Page http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/7090/
• Ballam Park Primary School - Under Construction
• Edithvale Primary School - Under Construction
• Pakenham Hill Primary School - Under Construction

Each site is a little different, using different levels of sophication, although nothing really fancy (read dollars).

• The ASRF site is plain, simple and hopefully quick, through experience I have been able to continually improve the image quality, whilst reducing the file size and consequent download time. It has no background images, image maps, tables, frames, forms or java etc.
• The BAY RODDERS site makes extensive use of tables. I have yet to create a site using frames, it's not that I don't like them, it's just that I don't like most of the sites I have seen using frames, they allocate too much of the screen to redundant information or advertising (yes, I know it's a necessary evil).
• The DLRA site has animation, tables and larger graphics.
• The HOT RODS DOWN UNDER site features javascripts and forms. All images on this site have been produced by me.
• WOPPA's PAGE has been set up for my final year major project. I'm in the second year of a Post Graduate Diploma in GIS at the University of Melbourne. The project is about being able to combine / display / distribute the local strategic statement plans that are prepared by municipalities as part of the new Victorian Planning Provisions.
• The school sites are all based on frames. My reason for doing this is to make it easy for the school to update the pages as required without referring back to me. The frames enable me to set the site up and supply good consistent site navigation. So it's been as much about training someone to maintain the site as it was about actually creating the sites.
