Hey all, I've been lurking a while and recently decided to register to start contributing, and have only just gotten around to writing an intro post. So, my apologies for that!

Anyway, I find GZ very useful for all sorts of questions, queries and help, and hopefully I can do my share of contributing and helping others, too. I'm a contract Systems/Infrastructure Engineer based in Auckland, and have been working in the IT industry in general for about 10 years now. There's always so much to learn and new things to play with, so I really enjoy it. And as with most industries in NZ, it's fairly small community when it comes down to it, so it's great to get to know a few more people too :)

Cheers,

Inphinity

Welcome aboard




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
