A huge fan of this forum.

Been using Geekzone to solve anything from IT to issues with old record players.

Originally born and bred in Denmark for 23 years, then 8 years in London (where I bumped into my Kiwi wife), 1 1/2 year in Blenheim, 8 years in Melbourne and now finally in Auckland (where wifey originally is from), where we'll be staying for good! Been here since March and loving life in NZ!

Love my sports (football, AFL and rugby league). The teams are Odense, Charlton Athletic, Wellington Phoenix, Denmark (all football), St. Kilda (AFL) and the Warriors (NRL).

Welcome.. AFL doesn't count as a sport in NZ thou :-P

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.

8 years in Melbourne basically brainwashed you. AFL is an incredible game.
