Hi,

I'm Gideon. I live in Auckland and work in IT.

I like Mac computers, iphones and iPads but sometimes I use Windows too!

I like walking around our beautiful city and enjoying the outdoors.

I go to Church each Sunday and religion is important to me.

I also enjoy the indoors where I play videogames on Mac and PC. Currently I am playing World of Warcraft. (Yes it is still going!)

I also enjoy RTS and strategy games. I have previously played Civ II - V, Red Alert and Command and Conquer and even Dune II.

I have spent a bit of time in Minecraft but I'm not playing it at the moment.

I am more of a lurker than a talker so you probably won't hear much from me on the forums but I'll pop in from time to time.

-Gideon

Hi Gideon,

Welcome to our little madhouse on the internet.. I loathe both religion and Apple products so I'm sure we'll get along fabulously lol.

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.
