Hi everyone!

 

Just wanted to say a quick hello to you all.  I'm a pretty long-standing geek, I guess (mostly musical instruments but also electronic gadgetry) but have finally found my way to Geekzone through a brand new interest, of which I am a complete unashamed novice - I say 'unashamed' because I am very eager to learn, and reasonably content to ask dumb questions so that I can - namely woodworking and general DIY.  This kinda started with what was quite a victory over fear - by starting to play with the insides of guitars and also with doing minor repairs to my motorcycle - and has become a bit of an obsession since then.  I stress, though, that I am very new to it all, and still very raw, so please be gentle!    😂

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.
