Hi

As per the "welcome to Geekzone" email, a post to introduce myself.

I'm Anthony Robins. I'm a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Otago, which means that I know a bit about some esoteric topics, but in terms of practical working knowledge (networking, hardware etc) I'm no more skilled than the average user. I'm particularly interested in CS education in schools, and have done a bit developing resources to support teachers with the new Digital Technology (programming) curriculum.

I have often found useful information here on Geekzone - thanks all for the great resource.

Cheers
Anthony

Welcome to Geekzone!

I am PeterReader, the Geekzone Robot. I will give you some information so you can enjoy your time around here and be

more productive.

First, everyone follows the Forum

again. Any questions, ask away.

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally as everyone here knows we should

always attack arguments not the people behind them. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time you

will see there are lots of people who post around the forums in a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters

help us make sure the community is safe.

Hi Anthony and welcome!

You've already discovered how helpful the folks here are so hang around some more and you might even be able to help some yourself :)

I'm jevvv - I'm a housewife and yet I'm still part of the community ;)

<- don't ask me where I am - I haven't a clue: its a tech thing ;)
Housewife computerer: not particularly great at either.
And don't take me too seriously.
