About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To confuse the world about the dangers of small fluffy animals

ABOUT ME

Im an IT worker that kind of fell into what I am doing now mainly because I have always worked with computers. Its a lot of fun at time but more often than not any visit to family or friends turns into me sitting at their PC fixing their problems. (I am thinking of starting up a barter service for my work to Friends and Family :) )

Born and Bred in Wellington and have not had much chance to travel around often because I was working and am forever without money. I think this is why I have just packed up my life and moved to almost the exact opposite side of the world (You cant get much further than that)
I love giving things a go (though I do calculate the occasional risk) and am up for most things.

Did my degree in Biomedical Science and it turns out that I should have done it in I.T. Hindsight is always 20/20 I suppose!

Teach, Learn, Share

Being your 'STANDARD I.T. NERD' (at times) I can give you a hand with any PC problems you might have, which undoubtedly everyone has. Other than that I love to cook and if you wanted to know something about Biomedical Science I am happy to impart.
I would love to learn about so much from local culture to the degrees that other people have taken.
