About me
- I'm a member of the Something Awful forums. I am also a moderator of the World of Warcraft subforum at Something Awful. I don't post often, but when I do it's usually a megapost, such as my software lists or my film review index. I frequently browse the WoW, D&D, SH/SC, and Film Dump forums.
- I use Perl for all my scripting needs. For general programming, I use C# and C++.
- I have a particular interest in neural networks and genetic algorithms.
- I once worked on NewsPro / Coranto (a free Perl CGI script for website content management).
- I once performed minor upgrades on YaBB, a free Perl Internet forum CGI script.
- I'm a liberal, but I make a conscious effort to avoid edits to political articles.
- I'm a spelling and grammar nazi. Many of my edits consist solely of cleanup.
- I use Ubuntu Linux because I've gotten fed up with Windows. Also, I am incredibly cheap, and have been known to use things until they are practically falling apart, so the price of Linux (free) helps.
- I am a huge science fiction fan. I really don't read anything else. Most of my non-cleanup edits are to science fiction articles.
- I love movies. If I were to be provided with an endless supply of movies to watch, I would probably starve to death rather than vacate my couch.
- I have an uncanny ability to identify movies based on a quick (two to three second) glance at any arbitrary scene.
Contributions
Although most of my edits are relatively minor, occasionally I will dedicate some time to creating or substantially revising an article of particular interest to me.
Wikipedia Search, by Google
I really don't like Wikipedia's search functionality, so I use Google's search (with I'm feeling lucky) instead. Here's how to add a search shortcut for Wikipedia.
For both Firefox and Opera, use the keyword/shortcut "wl" and this url.
