About Me
Hi, I’m Jeremy: a geek, systems engineer, and bassoonist from Australia. By day, I engineer systems to be more reliable. By night, I play bassoon in orchestras and hack on things I find interesting.

This domain (jeremy.visser.name) may be going away. More information from my fellow long-term .name domain owner Neil Fraser about the termination.
I’ve had this domain since 2007, which (shockingly, after doing the maths) forms the majority of my existence in meatspace. The email address jeremy@visser.name has been my primary published contact address since then. It is a bit of a gut-punch to learn that VeriSign may be terminating this third-level registration, having done no consultation whatsoever.
To date, I have not received any actual correspondence from VeriSign, nor my actual domain registrar (domaindiscount24 / Key-Systems GmbH). In fact, I paid for a domain renewal after ICANN had approved the motion to discontinue third-level registrations (me being completely unaware), and my registrar accepted the money without warning me.
I don’t know whether any other .visser.name third-level registrations exist (they certainly don’t show up in any search engines). If I’m the only remaining registration, I would very willingly take on ownership of .visser.name in its entirety. If there are other registrations, I would very willingly wear the technical burden of managing the remaining NS delegations on a private basis, at no cost to others, for my remaining duration in meatspace.

- This year, I’ve started filming concerts from the orchestras I’m in, and some of the videos are available (21 Jun 2026, 19 Sep 2026, 20 Sep 2026, 26 Sep 2026). These are by no means professional-grade, but I’m trying to (affordably) improve the quality each time.
