[edit] A quick introduction

I'm a Brit but lived in San Francisco for nearly ten years; I have recently moved to New York.

Since my Welsh username is ambiguous I'm male but it's no big deal if you get the pronouns wrong.

[edit] Admin Actions

I am an admin on Wikipedia, which means I'm here to help. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if there's something I can do for you.

You can review my actions as an admin at any time. Please feel free to ask about any of them on my talk page. Yes, sometimes I make mistakes; I hope not often but it happens and I will try to correct them when I do.

[edit] Railway Interests

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the narrow gauge railways of Wales. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the Corris Railway and also an ex-volunteer of the Leighton Buzzard Railway. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the British narrow gauge railways,and British industrial narrow gauge railways, a history of narrow gauge railways in the UK and a comprehensive list of all of them. Also dabbling with the Minimum gauge railways page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world. If it runs on rails less than 3 ft 6 in (1067 mm) apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

This user is a member of WikiProject Trains, a WikiProject which aims to expand coverage of rail transport on Wikipedia.

[edit] Computer Interests

I've been playing with computers since 1981 when I taught myself to program on a ZX81. Here on Wikipedia I'm contributing to some Computer Science articles, particularly those related to Macintosh and AI.

This user is a member of WikiProject Macintosh.

Some of the pages I'm contributing to: QuickTime, Ontology (computer science), HyperCard, Apple Media Tool
