Hey I'm from Wanganui I've joined this site because I love technology
I also hope to find other people like me here. :)

I am also a graduate from the Wanganui school of design.
I also like to program right now I'm currently trying to learn java through the use of making Minecraft mods but the 1.6 update is making it hard to set up the workspace.

I also watch a lot of YouTube videos mostly lestplays.

Hi and welcome!

I'm about the least technical here, but love hanging out with the folks on GeekZone: they are great with answering questions and pointing people in the right direction.

Son plays Minecraft a lot but hasn't got to the programming stage, just playing around with adding mods and seeing which plays nicely with what :)

Once again: welcome!

<- 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.

Thanks. And yeah. There's a lot of stuff that you can do with minecraft that goes beyond the point of just being a game.
I would be making 3D maya anamations with it If I had enough computers to render it.
But since it takes 15 minuets per frame to render a small scene. It is in no way a practical thing for me to do.
