Mark Suter's Web Site
Welcome to my web page. First off, there are two sites that I believe warrant attention. One is the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the other is the Electronic Frontiers Australia.
Given the recurring censorship debate, I find the Universal Declaration of Human Rights interesting reading, especially Article 19, as follows.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
I have some firm ideas about web design and have dealt with Microsoft and Commonwealth Bank of Australia to get them to make improvements to their sites. Learn more about this site.
As you can probably tell from the material below, I use GNU/Linux - the "Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net."
GNU/Linux
Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.
It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking.
To find out more about GNU/Linux, try the Linux home page. For more documentation on GNU/Linux than sane people want, try the Linux Documentation Project. For rational advocacy, read David A. Wheeler's Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS)? Look at the Numbers!
Humbug
If you're in Brisbane, why not come along to a Humbug meeting on the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland? You can see GNU/Linux and other Unix clones firsthand and meet people who use them. They're held fortnightly and you're welcome to attend.
Babylon 5
My main interest outside of high technology is Babylon 5. Arguably one of the best Science-Fiction shows, it has one of the best web sites I've ever seen for any television show. Take a look at the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.
Work
You may take a look at my résumé or some talks that I have given.
