Hi all,

Arrived in New Zealand 2 months ago today, living and working in Wellington, been obsessed with tech, gaming and SF/fantasy since the days of 8-bit home micros and Blake's 7. Very much looking forward to my desktop gaming PC, Oculus Rift and 3D printer to clear customs etc!

I'd noticed a lot of searches for getting set up in New Zealand led here so I figured it was time to register; looking forward to exploring the forums!

Oops, yes, forgot to mention that. Born in Malaysia but spent most most of my life in London and now in Wellington!
