Hi, I'm Lachlan.
You can't have a tour around my world without talking about one of my most boring hobbies..
My crippling addiction of buying website domains that I have no use for (but like to collect like pokemon cards)!
Take a click on each domain to visit them, or click the tag around them to see more info about how/why I chose it!
lachl.au - Portfolio
One of the more recent addition to my collection, a 'generic TLD' that is the closest to my name that was able to be grabbed. I bought this domain on the day that the .au domain was able to be bought from directly
lacln.com - Legacy Portfolio
The very first domain I bought, I am pretty sure I found this domain based off my username on social media / gaming accounts, however I cannot guarentee the order of that since I think the domain and the username came about at around the same time, moving on from my original username I had since I started playing Club Penguin in 2009.
moore.moe - Family Site
After spending a bit of time with my original doamin, and having to manually spell out (time and time again) I went looking for another domain I could use with any combination of my first/last name.

Another domain I bought when the .au TLD allowed for when direct domians were able to be ordered, however this one has a story behind it. I originally found
lachlan.zip - Unused
When the
ohh.li - Link Shortner
The shortest domain I own, found by searching specifically for the shortest unreserved domains on the internet (that also didnt cost $100s per year to keep). I eventually found two (that were pronouncable), and settled on this one after some thought and due to it being a XXXXXX of two names, "ollie" and another that held more significance at that time, and still exists hidden on the site as an easter egg.
sussy.zip - Automation Tooling
When the '.zip' TLD became a buyable domain, I could barely believe it was allowed, considering the already used namespace for the file type and how
000800.xyz - General Use Home Automation
When looking through the $1 'xyz' domains, I found this one and
1100011.xyz - General Use Programming
When I first started looking into 'buying a website' when I started learning HTML in 20XX, I
