Welcome! My name is Greg Ballantine and Bit Goblin is my passion project for creating YouTube videos on tech. I love tinkering with all things related to computers, and I enjoy documenting the things that I do so that others can use my struggles to ease their own. Whether it’s buildings PCs, playing with networking gear, or exploring the beauty of Linux, there are lots of things to play with and try to help others with.

Not only do I create tech videos for Bit Goblin, but I’m also trying to build a community around it for great people to just chill, have fun, and help each other out when need arises. Ranging from the aforementioned YouTube videos on computer hardware, networking and Linux, to a community Minecraft server, a Discord server for everyone to relax and chat with each other, a future community forum and other services. Everyone is welcome to join the community, all I ask is that you simply just be excellent to each other. Easy enough, right?

I do work with sponsors to help fund my projects. If you’re curious about who I’ve worked with before, check out the Sponsors page.

This world is open to everyone who would like to play on it. There are no mods installed, and currently only world is available. I am open to adding mods in the future and even adding more worlds, just let me know!

Note: The website is currently a work in progress, but it will be up soon!
