Describe your typical day of living online?
Each day starts with a fun dig through the email delivered overnight - there's always plenty of stuff to look through! Then usually a visit to the worthy news sites (Slashdot, The Age, The Register, BBC, ha.ckers.org) and, if I've got time, a quick flick through the fun sites (Fark, WorseThanFailure, PostSecret).

Then it's on to some work - which might involve building/patching Windows machines, downloading Linux ISO's, building websites, using Skype, IM or email to keep in touch with clients and colleagues, or remotely managing servers for some of my clients.

The best thing about broadband for you?
It's hard to pick just one thing, but I guess it would have to be the speed. For remote administration - critical. For building dynamic websites, where I'm constantly FTP'ing files to and from the 'net - critical. For Skype - critical. For browsing YouTube - not critical, but it sure makes it more fun! :)

Your favourite site?
My favourite site is www.petrescue.com.au - a non-profit group based in Australia that help find homeless animals a new home each year. I'm their sole web designer, and I can honestly say working with the rest of the PetRescue team over the last 3 years has been the single most rewarding thing I've done with my life.
