User:Lisa Seelye

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Lisa Seelye and I'm fairly new to this aspect of Wikipedia -- being a user, I mean. Wikipedia seems to be a fairly large place and for the new user it comes across as intimidating. (I can now see why there is a welcoming comittee!)

[edit] Interests

• Politics
• Norwegian and foreign languages in general.
• Linguistics and Phonetics, even though I have no formal education in the subject (yet?)
• Grammar
• Linux (Gentoo Linux inparticular), open source projects, and philosophy.
• Photography, in fact the image on Church of Avaldsnes is mine, even though the content of that article isn't.
• Audiology topics

[edit] A little about me

My political leanings are towards the socialist end of the spectrum.

I am a developer on the Gentoo Linux project and have contributed to the Memcached (which is apparently being used here), and Distcc projects.

I currently reside in York, England, United Kingdom although I am originally from Rochester, New York.

I do well enough with Norwegian, but reading the Norwegian Wiki is a chore because I have to look up a lot of the vocabulary.

My personal website is at http://lisa.thedoh.com/site/
