Down Under with Darius!
Across all the Thoughts Media websites, many of you may have known me by the pseudonym, DJ Apod. Well, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Darius Wey, a technology aficionado of colossal proportions, and the newest Contributing Editor-in-Training here at Pocket PC Thoughts.
I live in Perth, Western Australia - the most isolated city in the world! I am a student doctor and I love my gadgets. So when I'm not out there trying to save lives, I'm out there laying my hands on the latest technology available. 
My first computer was the Commodore 64 (those were the days ). From there, I went through the progressive stages of owning every x86 computer, followed by every line of Intel Pentiums. My affection for mobile devices extends back to when I was a baby. Instead of being the typical kid that would draw on furniture, I played with a calculator instead. My first handheld was the Casio SF-6300 personal organiser - one of the first organisers to have a touchpad interface - and I still have it too! Some of my personal interests include creating and mixing music, video editing, web and graphic designing, programming and astronomy.
It�s great to be a part of the best Pocket PC website out there, and it is the readers of this website that make this place enormously special. So with that in mind, I am looking forward to working with the team and adding to the quality content that Pocket PC Thoughts already delivers. I like to think that being in a completely different time zone from the rest of the team only makes the experience all the more exciting! 
Aside from the editorial duties, I enjoy responding to any questions that people throw at me. So feel free to drop me a line if you�re in need of advice! You can also use the forums to ask questions � the whole PPCT community will do their best to help you out.

Good to meet you, Darius! You're always one of the first to answer questions on PPCT. Keep up the great work.
(Now if there were only people to answer my questions... seems like the last few I've posted haven't gotten a single response. oh well)

Well I guess this is your first official post in hopefully a very long tenure here at PPCT with all the other "technology aficionados of colossal proportions". And now we get the pleasure of hearing more of what you got to say. Thanks PPCT for making a great choice.
Welcome Darius!

Welcome Darius! I knew DJ Aphod wasn't your real name all along.

Haha... Actually, if it was, I'd be worried. I only found out a year ago that the definition of "apod" is an animal that lacks feet, or a fish that lacks a ventral fin. Having that as a name would make me vulnerable to being teased by the other team members.
Oh crud...now that I've said it, they're probably going to spam me now. :spam:
