I've been reading Wikipedia for quite some time now, as well as providing minor edits on occasion (mostly picky grammar and spelling stuff). I have extremely eclectic interests, and mostly browse around Wikipedia until I find something interesting to me. Thought I'd finally get an account so I'm not making anonymous edits. I think I have a pretty good idea of the scholarly thrust of Wikipedia, if you will, but I'm not exactly completely adept at making actual edits (going to be using that cheatsheet a lot).

About me

Computer Science major from Wisconsin. I've been involved via the internet with radical left-libertarian scholarship and activism. I'm now a third-year student at a tech/professional school studying CS with an emphasis in networking and, especially, an interest in GNU/Linux.

Interests

  • Revolutionary tactics
• Computers
  • GNU/Linux & FOSS
    • Bash!
  • FOSS on Windows
  • especially Virtualization, Compatibility and Interoperability
  • Custom-built computers
  • Security & Encryption
• Austrian Economics
• Music - too many likes to list
• TV & Film (but only good stuff, which is to say I don't like much)
• Lit
  • H.P.Lovecraft
  • Stephen King
  • E.A. Poe
• Comedy
