[edit] Wiki-User Gertlex

Wikipedia is an outlet for my freetime that I find interesting and thought provoking... even when I'm simply editing format for an album I've never actually listened to. I like to think of myself as a nerd: I love reading, computers and gaming. I have some basic experience in HTML, Python and C++, and more extensive knowledge of Java. I've been hearing impaired since I was born. Although I do great in school, my preferred medium of communication is not speaking. I did survive 3 years of high school German, however.

  • My work here is sporadic, but I mostly focus on typos, and wikifying stuff. The content that I actually add is mostly album information gleaned from AMG.
  • Ultimately, I'm really not a knowledge source myself, but I take pleasure in doing a small part to make Wikipedia more uniform in appearance.
  • I've programmed myself a small java app that gives me the total track length of an album... good for checking numbers :)

[edit] Hobbies

My hobbies are relatively varied, though certainly not very athletic...

  • Archery (I'm a toxophilite)
    • JOAD has been my main outlet for shooting for my 8 years of shooting.
    • Currently ranked a Junior Bowman, the next rank is Bowman at 200 points, I've gotten a personal best of 199...
    • My dad is an instructor for JOAD.
    • I have short ranges in both the basement and back yard.
  • Computer games
  • Warhammer (Not much anymore :( )
  • Reading (Sci Fi and Fantasy books, science magazines)
  • Internet forums (for games and music)
  • Lego was the toy of my childhood. I still like them, though I've moved on to building robots and also into recreating models with MLCAD, a Lego CAD program using the LDraw system. I've further learned to render and then create animations of the models with POV-Ray.

[edit] Music

This user is a member of WikiProject Albums




I also have a varied taste for music, although I don't listen to much of anything from the last couple years.

  • Toad the Wet Sprocket
    • This is my absolute favorite band.
    • I have not, and probably never will see one of their concerts because the band has broken up.
    • I have seen lead singer and currently solo artist Glen Phillips live. That was the greatest night of my life (I'm still a virgin... ;) ).
  • Tally Hall
    • These guys are a fun new band from the local University
    • I have seen them in concert a handful of times, and I know I will again.

[edit] College and Future

I am currently attending the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor to study engineering. I'm currently looking at majoring Nuclear Engineering (and Radiological Sciences) and/or Mechanical Engineering. I'm leaning towards majoring in NE, and proceeding to get a masters in NE as well.
