About Me

Young, enthusiastic and generally an all-round good guy unless I am annoyed or provoked which in that case I can then be either very aggressive,sarcastic and unhelpful. Don't blame me if I present any of these traits, as I'm sure it was deserved.

My Wireless Background

I was introduced to WiFi from the MyBB forum in 2007, and at that time mercury did not exist so the only option I had was to try shoot for botlary. Signal was achieved but the unfortunate verdict was handed down by Mufasa with the words "sorry boet, -91 is rubbish".

So after alot of sniffing and snooping, I was made aware of LOEM. I knew my, then, 3m pole was not enough to clear the ugly double story behind me, and that is where I adopted the words "most dodgiest setup in CTWUG" where I decided to stick a nice 6mx50mmx5mm Steel pole on my roof. Seen here: http://gallery.ctwug.za.net/main.php?g2_itemId=63&g2_imageViewsIndex=1

On LOEM I quickly got my bearings and was in a matter of months promoted to Network Admin. Expansion was slow, and my talents were starting to become not required and at that point switched over to CTWUG. From there I was quickly promoted to Head Admin of Mercury and later assigned the new TestKit.

After some time, and at the beginning of a new business venture, I resigned from admin duties and proceeded to just be a normal wugger. My presence at this time was very limited.

I proceeded to carry on my nomadic journeys, moving from my southfield house to a complex in plumstead. This is where, once again I became known for "thinking out the box" when red tape prevented a pole from being mounted so happily decided to use the neighbors tree as my mast... and man did it work out well. I could see mercury with the naked eye.

After Plumstead, came Muizenberg... where hopefully the southern movement stops ( I'd hate to step on deep south toes... even though i would rock at it ). At this point I became more freely available and soon met King and Fudge ( my other 2 bandit brothers ) who got me more involved again in the wug... more so King due to his greatness. Since then I have been on numerous upgrades/fixes/new installs like: Prometheus, Mercury, Zenberg, Booster, Darkfall, Archon, Sirius, The-Claw, Sharkie and so on.

I have now taken on the following roles:

  • First contact for SouthPen
  • Head Admin for SouthPen
  • Admin on CTWUG

For contact information, feel free to use one of the two methods ( Please use first contact... failure to receive a reply you maybe then use the second )

Email: toady@ctwug.za.net OR WhatsApp: 083 7814 913

I look forward to helping each and everyone in my area as much as possible and to meet the rest of you wuggers over alot of pints.
