A george in its natural environment... a Silicon Valley cube.

This user is a mad scientist.

This user should probably have a Q clearance or Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Information Top Secret clearance for Restricted Data but doesn't.

Catapultam habeo.

George hates the third person with a passion, and... oh, <bleep>.

George is happy to be a Jack of Many Trades.

I have far better things to do with my time, but can't... stop.... editing....

I am not...

This George Herbert. However, we're all in the family.

Trying hard not to let any power go to my head. I think you have very much let it go your head

because you do not play fair, and you are unfair to your fellow wikis . . tmayes1999 The source of the few lines I added to the discussians of high explosive lenses is the advanced implosion design section of Gary Sublettes Freqauntly asked questions about nuclear weapons . You therefore should restore my edit to the article. It was only a minor edit. If you need a specific section number to verify my source I will give it to you . All you have to do is ask me ? Every edit I have ever made has generally had good and reliable & credible sources whether you believe it or not. That is the truth about it, but you are always close minded ,unfair,very hostile, and arrogant, and you will not listen ? tmayes1999

Wikis

I have installed and am running a MediaWiki wiki at work. As an IT consultant, I also work with companies running MW.

I try not to let the power go to my head.

Contributions

This list is about ~~2 weeks~~ ~~6 months~~ a year out of date...

My 1,000th edit was apparently this administrative edit, on Sunday, March 13, 2006. I was not paying enough attention; I had intended for my 1,000th edit to be an article contribution.

Real Life

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, with my wife Lee, and ~~four~~ ~~six (groan)~~ ~~seven (thank you, Momma Cat)~~ six rescue cats, 3 of which weigh over 12 lbs (and mostly muscle).

I work in computer consulting by day.

By night, I do aerospace engineering as the owner of Venturer Aerospace (see also Commercial Orbital Transportation Services WP entry) and my consulting company Retro Aerospace, which also is involved in various defense-related analysis and technology.

I write technical materials, nonfiction, and a little fiction for flavor. I could say I write poetry, but that would be somewhat of an abuse of the term. I produce doggrel is perhaps a more fair statement.

I have an Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering degree from UC Berkeley and attended the 1992 International Space University summer session in Kitakyushu, Japan.

I have published conference technical papers in space exploration and spacecraft design, internet traffic research, and computer systems reliability.

Usenet

My first Usenet posts were in 1987, though they don't show up in Google Groups' archive. Many thousands of later ones do, though.

I moderate sci.space.tech, sci.space.science, sci.military.moderated, and sci.aeronautics.airliners . I was the group creation proponent for the sci.space reorg that created sci.space.tech, .science, and .policy back in late 1993.

Technically I also moderate alt.war.nuclear.biological-chemical-radiological-moderated but the traffic is dead. After it was abandoned by its original moderator, I took over sci.aeronautics.simulation until it fell into disuse and was rolled up into sci.aeronautics.

I tend to regularly read and contribute to sci.space.*, rec.arts.sf.science and rec.arts.sf.written

Frequently I read and contribute to news.groups, talk.bizarre, comp.arch and others.

I ran the Usenet Volunteer Votetakers for a short while in the 1990s.
