Hey guys,

 

For a while now, I've been adding 'geekzone' to NZ-specific, tech-related google searches. I guess I figured that I have been lurking long enough, I'm keen to start contributing. I live in Wellington and am a 'mature' student. Cool huh? I like playing music, watching films, reading books and taking pictures. I work part-time as a picture framer. I used to frequent GP Forums when I was a teenager playing lots of games, before it got all 'new'. I prefer the no-frills aesthetic. 

 

Glad to know ya.

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments not the people behind them.

Those more frequent posters help us make sure the community is safe.

Welcome to the madhouse




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.
