Wiki-User Gertlex

Wikipedia is an outlet for my freetime that I find interesting and thought provoking... even when I'm simply editing format for an album I've never actually listened to.

• My work here is sporadic, but I mostly focus on typos, and wikifying stuff. The content that I actually add is mostly album information gleaned from AMG.
• Ultimately, I'm really not a knowledge source myself, but I take pleasure in doing a small part to make Wikipedia more uniform in appearance.
• I've programmed myself a small java app that gives me the total track length of an album... good for checking numbers :)

Hobbies

---

My hobbies are relatively varied, though certainly not very athletic...

• Archery (I'm a toxophilite) - been shooting for about 12 years
• Computer games
• Reading (Sci Fi and Fantasy books, science magazines)
• Lego was the toy of my childhood. I still like them, though I've moved on to building robots and also into recreating models with MLCAD, a Lego CAD program using the LDraw system. I've further learned to render and then create animations of the models with POV-Ray.
• Engineering related stuff...
  • I recently completed a mod of an R/C car to use bluetooth... I can control it with my laptop now!
  • Robots
  • Hardware hacks
  • Basic circuits
  • Fixing stuff
  • Voiding warranties
