Heyo,

I'm Theo, I'm a Ruby developer, and in my spare time I've been developing a blog (real live blogging software), a VM management panel, and some forum software.

TL;DR- I develop webapps in Ruby (on Rails), I love all things tech, and it's great to be a part of the GZ community!

Hi! I'm TheoM, but you know that already. I run Linux mirrors in NZ together with 2degrees. Like a mirror added? PM me!

I've been a long time lurker (accountless of course), and I decided that I may as well get an account. GZ is a valuable resource :P
