I found this forum while looking for reviews on different broadband providers. I'm new to NZ and to Auckland and super excited to find a NZ specific forum like this for geeks and techies :)

I'm a tech hobbyist and enjoying tinkering with computers and gadgets during my free time, and coding and scripting.  I have two IBM Thinkpads and Macbook (very recent acquisition) but I'm more of a PC person.  I also own an iPod Touch.  I speak PHP and an assortment of other languages, and I'm now digging into Java. I do a bit of web development using CMSs and PHP, and I also enjoy writing tutorials during my free time.  I am self taught in all things computer related, no formal learning in that field, and I have an infinitely long list of things I want/intend to learn, including how to create android apps!!

Excited to be here and looking forward to interacting with you all, sharing, learning, and all that good stuff.
