Hi Everyone,

I've only just stumbled across GeekZone and it looks like a really cool and useful site.

My name is Greg and I'm from South Canterbury. I've pretty much worked in the hospitality/service industry all my life.

I love to travel, cook (worked as chef throughout the world), am a dog person (sorry cat lovers) and enjoy messing around with PC's both hardware and software.

Not a computer expert, by any stretch of the imagination, so you won't see me posting advice but I will probably ask the occasional question from time to time.

Stay safe, stay frosty

Cheers

Greg

Running Man - Yes he was. Tribute to a friend of mine's faithful companion of 10+ years.

As I said I love dogs but I've never owned one due to the fact that I flit from one place or country every year or 2. Not fair or practical!!

Welcome Greg.

This site is useful for more than just IT. I'm sure you will find threads to contribute to. We've had discussions about steaks & bbq's around here. Maybe you can ask the mods for a dedicated cooking section. 😉

Please keep this GZ community vibrant by contributing in a constructive & respectful manner.
