[edit] All About Me

My name is Ben, I'm gay, and I'm a professional IT geek. I play the Piano and the Flute and regularly compose pieces of music. I'm technically pagan, although I don't practice, per se. I'm a member and moderator of The Pagan Network and I volunteer part-time at Treadwells Bookshop in Covent Garden, London.

I am often found in #wikipedia and #wikipedia-en-vandalism on irc.freenode.net chatting away, and reverting vandalism on articles. I write Open Source Software in my spare time.

Ok, so not all about me. Pfft. Add something if you want.

[edit] CoBo and Copyright Violations

I am currently working on a bot to detect copyright violations and replace them with the copyvio template. Information on the bot can be found on its user page, User:Cobo.

  • The Pagan Federation - An offline community of Pagans originally created to stop Alex Sanders doing what he was doing. How's that for an ego trip?
