Web designer. Musician. Linguist. Former racing cyclist. Former Wiktionary bureaucrat. Designer of LEGO set that never made it into production. This and that. Something something. Always something different. Studied maths, studied translation, studied CS. Now learning the violin, because why not.

My modest contribution to this mess

I only ever wrote one article from scratch, the original German version of Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Moscow), for a Wikipedia competition back in 2009. I wasn't even involved with the English translation in any way, but apparently it now qualifies for a Featured article here, so yeah, go check it out if you haven't. It's quite a story.

-[[Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Moscow)]]. Nah, not really. I only ever wrote the German original for a competition back in 2009. But apparently other folks have since invested considerable chunks of their lifetimes into translating it, and lo and behold, it's a Featured article on here now. Whodathunk. Good stuff. So check it out if you haven't.
