Im new to the site and decided to sign up to a tech forum because im losing my touch with technology since finishing my apprenticeship in IT. Basically i did an IT apprenticeship starting in september 2011 and finishing april 2012, but have been unemployed ever since and currently looking for work. Ive been lazy however and lost touch with alot of the knowledge i had gained on the apprenticeship, so i have decided to start using forums again, it worked with previous hobbies such as photography, writing, drawing and graphics design so i thought it should help with my computing again lmao.
