Hi there

I'm BlueShift, or BlueShiftNZ. You might remember me from such other forums as Twitter, PAS or Aardvark (which I gave up on recently as the neo-nazi trolling was driving me nuts).
I'm not BlueShiftNZ from Trademe, so don't ask me about your cheapo MP3 players. Smile

I'm from the 'Tron, work in IT, and dream of a lotto win to finance my geeky toy lust.

What's this about a badger?

Welcome!

Can't help but notice your intro sounds like a new member to an AA meeting speaking or something? No need for that here - we're geeks and we're proud!
