- Generate your own image for GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and more here.
- I also run a blog on a variety of topics, mostly technical.
[edit] Wikimedia
- I am an avid Wikipedian and I read a lot of articles. Don't ask me why, I just find it interesting :P
- I spend a fair amount of time editing the wiki - minor edits like spelling and Manual of Style corrections, but I've also developed a couple of significant articles (see Significant contributions, below).
[edit] Works in progress
- Programming HP Calculators, a wikibook on HP-BASIC I've written basically by myself
[edit] Useful links
- Wikipedia markup, a meta-wiki on using Wikipedia markup to format text
- Table syntax, for more info on using the wiki pipe markup for tables
- XHTML to wiki tables conversion script on uni-bonn.de
- Image syntax, for inserting images into articles
- Table syntax, for more info on using the wiki pipe markup for tables
- Donate to the Wikimedia Foundation - bandwidth costs money, and Wikipedia and its sister projects use up a lot of that.
- My mirror of User:Gargaj's PHP edit counter (source)
- The sandbox, for testing... Please don't test the wiki on a regular article!
- List of templates available for use on Wikipedia, including a list of templates for the user namespace.
- List of stubs that you can use on Wikipedia articles
- Help with using the divbox template, which is used for creating pretty boxes like the one with Wikipedia statistics at the top of this page
- WikiProject on my home city of Perth, Western Australia
- Fair use guidelines, which are particularly useful for uploading images that you didn't make yourself
- The Wikipedia reference desk - help out some fellow Wikipedians who need.. well, help
- WP:Userboxes - info and lists of userboxes. I have a copious number of them below.
- My sig tutorial, for custom '~~~' signatures on Wikipedia, like this: splintax (talk) 05:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Significant contributions
- Programming HP Calculators, a currently incomplete wikibook that I've been working on
- Perth Royal Show, an article which I started and added a significant amount of information to, from scratch, based on my personal experiences and the Show website
- BitTorrent-related articles - I've been cleaning up and watching a fair amount of these, because many of them seem to have been created by users who really don't know much about the protocol. Also, a lot of people are spamming links to their trackers on Wikipedia, which I've been trying to prevent.
