My current WikiStress level

Hello and thanks for visiting my profile page! As you have probably guessed from my username, my name is Peter McGinley. I'm an Australian citizen and currently live in Mulgrave, a suburb in south eastern Melbourne, Australia. I was also born and raised in Melbourne.

My birthday is on April 17 but I don't give out my year of birth. I have an Australian father and Czech mother. Both grandparents on my mother's side of the family (grandfather passed away in 1997) were/are Czech. My grandfather on my father's side of the family was Irish (he passed away in 2000) and my grandmother is Australian.

I joined the Wikipedia community back on November 21, 2004. I consider myself a "technological geek" as my life revolves around computers and the internet, and it is my main interest and hobby in life. Being a "geek", I am a great believer in open-source projects, but especially Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Sunbird.

Among my friends circle and family, I have earnt the reputation of being a perfectionist.

I am the proud owner of a one year-old pure-bred female smooth-haired fox terrier dog named Tara (pictures to come soon). Her birthday is on May 5. She is a beautiful dog and is very affectionate, but at the same time is a little 'crazy'. When she gets excited, she runs around in the fashion that resembles ADHD. If I hang any washing on the line, I have to hang it up out of her reach, otherwise her keen chewing habit will get the best of her. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way (let's just say I wasn't too pleased with her for a while).

Even though we share the same surname, I am in no-way related to the American actor, Ted McGinley, who played the role of Jefferson D'Arcy in the sitcom Married... with Children.
