Hi there!

I'm a long time lurker, but have decided to take the plunge and register for the forums.

I'm a 47 year old geek based in the booming Metropolis known as Invercargill (for those that don't know the place, it's at the end of South Island!). The home of no museum, a dysfunctional council, and a half completed inner city central business district. But it's a nice place to live. :)

I'm into various facets of information technology (networks, software development, control systems) and I'm also an electronics engineer mainly working in the field of radio communications. And yes, I am also a ham (ZL4ARG). I'm also passionate about 3D printing, and prototyping.

I run two small businesses, ZL4 Electronics Limited, and Southern 3D Printing Ltd.

Cheers,

Alex G.

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.

Welcome to Geekzone, Alex. :)

I've been to Invergiggle only the once; for the Burt Munroe in around 2015. Definately keen to come again one year soon with the Burt being moved to (I believe) coincide with the Crank Up. :)
