Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself, my name is Chris, I'm a Sr. IT Engineer in Oklahoma City, I work mainly with Servers, hardware and virtual ones.

I have a little bit of storage and networking experience, but not an expert by any means, just a beginner there. I love technology, and enjoy being around all things tech.

I was led to this site from a user named @michaelmurfy, from a link he posted over in the Ubiquiti forums, enjoyed his posts and the tech topics here, so I joined up!

Can't wait to dive into some tech/geek discussions.

Welcome aboard

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.

Oh yes, I see this is a New Zealand based site! We love Steven Adams, thanks for sharing him with us!!

I want to visit NZ someday, maybe you all here can help me figure out a trip for my family and spots to visit etc, all I've seen of your land is very beautiful.

Mate, I live in the south of the South Island ( Google : Queenstown, Wanaka ) I'd be happy to sort out the ultimate road trip itinerary for you.

NZ is amazing, the trick for Kiwis is learning not to take it for granted. The older I get, the more blown away I am that this is my country !!

South Auckland to North Shore is a fantastic road trip at 8am weekdays - can really kick back and relax to take in the views of Auckland and its people ;)
