User:Joeblakesley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wikipedia user, joeblakesley, goes by the (slightly more) mundane name of Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley (initials: J Ll G B).

This is a Wikipedia user page.

I currently live in Colwyn Bay in Conwy county borough, North Wales, United Kingdom [GB].

I've dropped out of studying linguistics at the University of Wales, Bangor (due to financial difficulties) and am now studying with the Open University, probably towards an open degree. I'm not currently working but am involved in volunteering (mainly with a disability charity). I'm also standing on the Green party list for the North Wales region of the National Assembly for Wales in this year's election if anyone is interested.


I was born on 1985-10-03 in Tower Hamlets, London. That makes me 22 (last time I updated this) for the mathematically disadvantaged among you.

I'm a bit of a polymath, but I'm probably mostly involved with environmentalism in my spare time. I also use free software (almost exclusively), am for reforming our antiquated copyright system into something more logical and believe in the importance of accumulating knowledge (and the power of information); hence helping out at Wikipedia.


I've been here a few years and occasionally edit. I would like to edit more frequently in the future, but am quite busy ATM and don't have my own Internet connection. See my contributions.

I've also made some extremely feeble attempts to edit on the Welsh Wicipedia (see my user page there). Although I'm of Welsh descent I never learnt it as a first language and I'm very bad at learning new languages (though I'm trying now).

[edit] MetaSoc

MetaSoc is a project to create an XML DTD for organisational (esp. societies’) psuedo-‘metadata’ (probably with an RDF counterpart) and use it to create XML (and thereby HTML) documents with information about non-profit organisations in Bangor, Wales.

(This is on hold ATM, as I am too busy. I may carry on with it at a later date or give the data and draft DTDs I have to someone else who may be interested in taking over.)

See /MetaSoc.

See /Notes for notes to myself about stuff on Wikipedia.

[edit] Contact Details

[edit] WWW

You may contact me via the WWW by editing user talk: joeblakesley, or use my PURL, http://purl.org/net/jb , which should always redirect to a WWW contact page for me—currently this one.

If you want to contact me privately (or very quickly), you are probably best using my WWW email form here or emailing me (see below).

I have my own domain name, blakesley.eu, but I don't have a website up yet (as I don't currently have my own Internet access) so it just redirects here.

[edit] IM

[edit] E-mail

You may also send me mail. Obviously, you need to remove four words from that email address that have been added as an anti-spam measure. You can also use a form on this site to email me.

[edit] Snail-mail

Send letters, explosive packages, &c to:

Flat 3
57 Prince's Drive
COLWYN BAY
LL29 8PW

[edit] PSTN

If you need to speak to me on the phone, email me and I will tell you my phone number.

(For urgent stuff, my mobile is tel:+44-7989142383, but I prefer using a landline.)

[edit] Geek Code

------BEGIN GEEK CODE DISCLAIMER-----

N.B.: This geek code may not make sense in many interpretations of the geek code (especially strict ones and ones not involving elements of wetware—including the geek code decoder), but, as the rules are pretty lax, I decided to use the geek code in a way which gives as much info (and/or lack there of) about myself as possible (and exploits the code's hacker humour to its full extent and had as much hack value for me). If you do not understand my geek code it is either because:

  1. you do not understand how the code works (see the official site) or
  2. I have written it in a way which I believe makes sense; and my sense of reality, and/or interpretation of life, the universe and everything are seriously warped.

The latter is most likely.


Also N.B.: Although writing this code did have some hack value for me, it only took a few minutes of my boring life and I do not claim I have followed every rule by the letter (or any non-alphabetic character for that matter). If you find that this code block breaches version 3.12 of the geek code, I may be interested but I probably won't be (because I did this for a laugh and am not totally obsessed with the geek code (I'd like to say this is because I have a RL but it is more because I have so many other (much more expansive) areas of geekdom to explore)).
