It is with some regret that I wish to inform the Geekzone community that I have resigned from Spark, effective 25/09. This means that apart from general advice, I will probably no longer be able to assist any Geekzoners with Spark related issues, problems or inquiries.

Note my use of the word "probably" in the previous sentence. This is because I have recently accepted a position at Chorus, so I look forward to being able to assist in the capacity of my new role if I am able to, although there are already Chorus staff on GZ who do an excellent job of that now.

To my fellow Spark Geekzoners who I am leaving behind, I wish you all well, and thank you all for the help you have given to me over the years

Thanks for your assistance to date, and all the best with the new role!

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I'm sure having a(nother) man in Chorus will be very helpful - good luck!

I didn't know Chorus was after another new CEO so quickly.

Keen man moving to such a hated company :-P Congrats on the new job though.

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.
