Hi all,

 

A long time stalker from GeekZone's early days, went overseas, come back a couple of years ago, and now find myself lurking here more and more so feel a bit guilty for not contributing.

 

I have been doing IT contract/project type work for about 20 years so have encountered quite a few "WTF/you want it when/how do I do that/it cant be done" scenarios, so hopefully I can provide some help where possible based on outcomes of these experiences.

 

I also decided to become a subscriber and would encourage others to do so. 
Its basically a box of beer (or if your preferred wine, roughly 1.5 bottles) per year for supporting a great community that helps sort out some of the problems we encounter everyday.

 

I am currently based in Wellington, New Zealand.

 

Interests are;

 

  • Commercial/small business/enterprise IT
  • Home networking (NAS devices, networks (wireless, wired, smart), and generally anything that might seem useful.
  • Games (more pc based but also playstation & xbox)

     

    • Currently revisiting Civ V waiting for Civ VI to drop in price like it always does (normally the day after I pay full price)
    • Restarting Skyrim with the special edition update
    • GTA V
  • Domestic and world "real news"/general happenings

 

 

Thanks
