My name is Tadej Persic (or Tadej Peršič to be precise, or even Ivan Tadej Peršič-Kandus) and I am 31 years old (male), born on July 13 1980, and I grew up and still live in Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, which is a country located in the center of Europe. I'm an ex student of Architecture College, which is a part of the Univerza v Ljubljani (in English this means University of Ljubljana), while currently I am studying at the Information technology college. In general I see myself as a pretty liberal person, a pacifist, skeptic and rationalist. I am a proud member of Wikipedia from March 25 2005 onward (as of November 25 2011 the number of my edits is: 958). Most importantly, I'm a member of the English variant where I contribute the most (see here for the list of my Contributions), however, about the same time I registered also at Slovenian Wikipedia and Wikinews (also see the "My user pages" section, the second paragraph below). By the way, you can see how my user page looked back then (before I've rewritten and shortened it) on my Old user page.

Regarding my interests/hobbies, I'm interested in just about anything related to basic programming and scripting, like batch processing, VBScript, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Python, ABC, etc.), while I also enjoy customizing and tweaking my operating systems and similar. I mainly use Windows XP, but occasionally I also use Linux (the Slackware distribution). Otherwise I like mystics and stuff, I like to listen to various types of music, watch movies and television series; South Park, Dilbert, Futurama, and Simpsons are currently my favorites. In my spare time, I also like to browse the World Wide Web (news, science and IT related sites, post on various Internet forums), go to the nature, meet with my friends, and smoke herbs. In the paragraphs further below, there are also listed links to my various online profiles (accounts' home or user pages, including Wikis), to my blogs, and to my own three different websites.

[edit] My user pages

Atom of Atheism-Zanaq.svg This user is an atheist.
Flag of Slovenia.svg This user comes from Slovenia.
@ This user can be reached by email.

As first I will mention my personal page[1] on about.me portal which links to various others profile/user pages of mine, then as second there's my professional profile[2] at LinkedIn, and my profile page[3] on Scribd with various seminar papers from my 2 year study of Informatics. There's also my personal page[4] on Posterous which will hopefully get more content in the (hopefully near) future.

Then there are of course my many accounts' pages on various Social networking internet portals such as for example my profile page[5] on Twitter which is also some sort of a blog (this is called micro-blogging), then there's my profile page[6] on Facebook community, my personal page[7] on MySpace portal, and my user page[8] on Fubar portal. For many other such account pages rather see my-accounts.html page[9] on my main personal website (also see below).

And finally there are user pages on Wiki-type websites. I will start with my user page[10] on slovenian variant of Wikipedia, and then there are also my user page[11] on Wikimedia, and finally my user page[12] on Wikinews. Of course there are other Wiki-type websites where I am a registered member and on which I mainly use a nick "Satyr-wayfarer" (that's because my nick on Lost In The Box, MozillaZine, and CastleCops forums is "satyr", while on all the original Wikis it's "Wayfarer"), the user pages below are ordered by the date of registration. As first there is my user page[13] on SourceWatch website, then there is my user page[14] on CastleCops Wiki, then my user page[15] on Mozilla Wiki, my user page[16] on Mozdev, my user page[17] on MozillaZine Knowledge Base, and finally my user page[18] on bb4win Wiki (bb4win is a branch of Blackbox shell replacement for Windows), and my user page[19] on Ghisler Wiki (it's a Wiki for Total Commander file-manager).

[edit] My old blogs

I have a blog [20] on Sopca community website, which is now my main blog in Slovenian language (but I've more or less abandoned also this one), then there was also a second and now abandoned blog[21] on VOLJAblok, which is not accessible anymore since the blog-portal itself was taken off-line (however there's a page[22] on Internet Archive listing all the archived states of this blog; the Januar 29 2007 archive[23] being the last archived state, and the oldest one being April 23 2006 archive[24] archive), and there are a bunch of blogs in English language, e.g. my blog[25] on Senserely Yours, my diary[26] on kuro5hin portal, my blog[27] on Spread Firefox community portal etc., which are all, as you can see, more or less community-oriented blogs. I guess my user page[28] on Technorati also suits into this section since it lists all my blogs (well, at least those that I've submitted there).

[edit] My websites

I also have a general personal website[29] (meaning that it's not strictly computing, nor strictly non-computing related), and there exist also a Slovene variant of this same website[30]. It is basically just a navigational website that just briefly describes and lists links to my other websites and blogs. My oldest website though is my main computing related website[31] that deals with important computing-related things that I've discovered so far, e.g. my various personal computing-related articles, hints, principles, rules, tips, while it also contains links to my favorite programs and describes their usages etc.

The current layout with three tables is just a temporary solution, which will remain as it is until I find a better way to lay them out. I had many problems laying-out the three tables (i.e. originally I was planning to have my picture on the left and some text - probably the intro paragraph - on the right side, both cells being in a single row in a left-floated table), but in the end when I finally made it to look relatively ok in full-screen, I realized it was all wrong in non full-screen mode.

But especially interesting are my numerous discoveries and descriptions of various of experiences. Note that the website contains also a some sort of a blog (in other words an ever-growing set of pages with important news and events) started in 2005, with first entry being on events1.html page[32], and the last/current one being on events16.html page[33]. Finally there is my third website, which is a clarinet instrument related website[34], which as its title hints contains mostly technical and history information about the clarinet musical instrument, and a few of my personal experiences with it.

The emphasis in case of all the three websites is not on website's outlook but on the websites' content (by the way, all the code was written and is maintained strictly by me, mostly "typed-by-hands" with a bit of copy/paste in a few cases of JavaSript), therefore I only use HTML/JavaScript and a bit of CSS since I've tried to make it as simple and fast-loading as possible. Also, all of them are more or less crafted by hand (i.e. none was made with the use of pre-built templates or even worse, written with WYSIWYG or other such "make-your-webpage-in-5-minutes" type of program), and all are licensed under a Creative Commons license. You may notice that on all of my websites I don't use underlying for "normal" words (i.e. not links) to prevent the confusion and to follow the standards. Like almost every other website on the Internet, thy one is also always under construction. And finally, they also don't contain pop-ups or banner-ads, and are XHTML and CSS code is valid by W3C standards.

[edit] The Messages

This is a place for any important messages that you may want to send me; although I highly recommend you to rather use my talk page...
