Hi all,
I'm Richard.

After many years of seeing this site in my search results, I figured it was about time I joined :-)

I work half time for an ISP, and in the rest I'm attempting slowly to build a free software-oriented consulting business.

I'm based in Wellington.

Richard

Welcome




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.
