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

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