I've noticed theres a number of geeks in my "neighborhood", and figured meeting up and having a few drinks every so often might not be a bad idea, and hey, who knows, you might make a friend of two :)
So if you live on the Hibiscus Coast / Whangaparaoa / Orewa area, and are keen for the occasional meetup at the local bars, let me know via PM and I'll add you to the (private) Whangaparaoa Geeks forum.
Cheers
