[edit]

I'm an embedded systems computer engineer currently living in Kongsberg (but hailing from Kristiansund), Norway. My wikilife began a little after 2 AM on 18 August 2003, when I started contributing to WKP [1] (and soon thereafter contracted a mild to intermediate (?) form of wikipediholism, which, a year and a half later, resulted in my promotion to adminship).

Being of an exceedingly leptosomatic physical build, and having had far too many hobbies and interests during my childhood and youth to care much for doing sports myself (as opposed to watching them), I have really excelled in only one sport: dodgeball. :) However, I immensely enjoy recreational back-country skiing, in particular the combination of cross-country and "powder snow skiing" (slightly downhillish, off-piste). And mountain hiking.

My encyclopaedic editing interests revolves mainly around the following:

[edit] Routine work

Besides writing/editing articles, much of my effort on Wikipedia has tended to go into maintenance:

[edit] To-do: edits/articles

  • Area record (athletics etc.): establish; use in tables as [[AR]]
  • Biathlon-related:
    • Establish annual BWC season articles(?), starting with 2005--06
    • Translate lots of biathlete bios from no:
  • Fredrik Rosing Bull: expand (ask Ulf Uttersrud of HiO if his page may be translated)
  • GIER, NUSSE (DIANA?): establish
  • Category:Integrated circuits: establish a couple more subcategories
  • List of heroic fictional scientists and engineers: complete the list of Star Trek sci-tech officers
  • Misc. company product templates: include logos (for an example, see Template:AMD processors)
  • List of Motorola products: dab product lks, e.g. V220 --> Motorola V220, to distinguish those cell phones from other roughly similarly named, and much earlier, products, like DEC's terminals such as the VT220
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject CPUs: establish WikiProject, with structural features such as:
    • CPU info box showing programming model, microarch, ...
    • Lineage, direct/indirect, in-house/3rd party (place in info box or in separate 'box')
  • Norwegian Institute of Technology: expand, espc History sec
  • sign extension: establish, if nobody else does
  • U-boat: write about Karl Dönitz' WWI escapades (and some WWII stuff, too?)
  • Lots of articles (sigh):
    • Finally coerce myself into shooting and uploading pics of all my computer and electronics junk from the 70s and 80s
    • Convert footnotes to the up-and-coming footnote standard (#3)

[edit] Interwiki

My user accounts on other Wikimedia sites (besides other language editions of Wikipedia, for which see the left margin):

[edit] Edit summary codes

I use a number of abbreviations in my edit summaries. Many of the abbrevs are the standard ones, to be found in official Edit summary legend, while others are my own more or less self-devised ones (some infrequently used std abbrevs might also be listed below). Why do this? 1) for the obvious reason: it's quicker, hence no reason to drop the summary; and 2) contributors in doubt of the meanings will most probably come here to find out.

[edit] Affixes

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ a b To an old DOS-geezer like me, "WP" will forever mean WordPerfect, of which version 4.2 for DOS was the pinnacle of word processing. Period. Hadn't it been for the sorry fact that the first Windows-version sucked—allegedly due to M$ initially supplying their competitors with a reduced version of the Windows API—I'd guess WP would still be the supreme market leader like it was in the DOS days.
