About me
I do computer systems engineering work including software development and network systems design. On the side I read a lot of science fiction and dabble a bit in Amateur radio. The radio interest has led me to startup WikiProject Amateur radio in hope of improving coverage of the topic on Wikipedia. Just for the heck of it I build and run a few web sites including World Beach List and Self Study Certs.
My motto
It takes a smart man to learn from his mistakes, but it takes a wise man to learn from the mistakes of others.

Userbox war
Finally, after months of conflict, the German userbox solution appears to be catching on. There are still debates out there but a general concensus seems to have taken hold that admins should not delete boxes out of user space. As the template space archive migrates over and the ones listed in Wikipedia:Userboxes are adopted and cleared out we will hopefully see peace in the valley at last. I know, wishfull thinking. I'm sure people will find many other topics to fight over. Still, in support of this solution, I've started my own archive of userboxes that others are welcome to transclude.

Religion
Isn't it amazing how much hostility can be unleashed by so little? Just take a look at the history on the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy article for an example. All was caused by one image. As of 2 Feb 2006, the edit war raging is like nothing I've ever seen before on Wikipedia. It is only being outdone by the real life protests across the Middle East. Higher resolution versions of the images are available here. Judge it for yourself.
Just something interesting
Well, Wikimedia has the longest acronyn I've ever seen in my life. Welcome to "AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD". And I thought the US Navy had some long ones!
Personal sandbox
I maintain a sub user page for doing sandbox work. This page has my doodles and experiments not ready for prime time. You can view the sandbox if you are really interested.
To do list
These are some wiki tasks I intend to tackle as time permits
- General vandalism cleanup
- Recent changes patrol
- Articles for deletion
