About me

Hello world.

I'm a motorcycling nut and enjoy having OCPD and depression. I dropped out of school during the dot-com boom and worked at MP3.com, Amazon.com, and finally a miserable, confusing year at Big Fish Games. I've now downsized from our large Seattle home and moved into a tiny Downtown Portland apartment so I can go to school at PSU and finish a degree in Computer Science. I should be done in late 2010.

Interests

I'm a fan of Adam Carolla and the shows he's done over the years, as well as the umbrella of related individuals: Teresa Strasser, Dr. Drew Pinsky and Loveline, Jeffrey Ross, David Alan Grier, Joel McHale and The Soup, etc.

Since getting involved with Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon, I have taken on a couple of tasks that were needing a not-owner: mainly, fulfilling requests for photos in Oregon and creating/expanding every high school article in Oregon with sources and infoboxes. I've never attended a primary/secondary school in Oregon, nor do I have children, but that hasn't stopped me from learning and contributing as I can.

Good times!

This section is for .. questionable activities that I've been involved in.

Code

Convert requested photos from KML to Garmin Mapsource: 

wget --output-document=/tmp/wiki.kml \
  'http://toolserver.org/~para/cgi-bin/kmlexport?article=\
  Category:%20Wikipedia_requested_photographs_in_Oregon&l=0'\
  && gpsbabel -i kml -f /tmp/wiki. kml -o gdb -F \
  wikipedia-requested-photos-oregon.gdb\
  && echo "saved to wikipedia-requested-photos-oregon.gdb"

(Poor formatting to make it not break my entire page)
