Hi there. I'm Tess.

During the early days of Wikipedia, I worked for User:Jimbo Wales at Bomis in Pacific Beach and on Point Loma. My biggest contribution to Wikipedia during that time was the UseModWiki hack that we used to include LaTeX formulas in math articles, and just generally keeping the servers up and running.

I haven't participated all that much in the Wikipedia community since that time.
