About me

edit

My username was formerly LiberalFascist.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page, or by email. Note that I prefer to keep conversations public (i.e. on the talk page) when possible.

I live in the Dallas, Texas area. I'm a computer programmer, server technician and general internet junkie (been online since the early 1990s).

I've used Wikipedia extensively over the years, and now I'm trying to give back to the community and improve the resource I've enjoyed so much.
