- Succeeding in being less of a wikiholic; if I don't answer a message on my Talk page, email me from the link in the toolbox. — OwenBlacker 17:51, June 13, 2005 (UTC)
British guy based in London, mainly interested in politics and history, but a Software developer during the day, with a degree in Molecular biology, of all things, from UEA, and very much interested in languages. English is my first language, but I am bilingual in French and can handle a smattering of (in order) Spanish, German and Welsh, with the odd word of several others, including Latin, Russian, Hebrew, Cantonese and some Scandinavian languages. I'm a punctuation fascist (see ISBN 1861976127), but not really one over grammar and make a somewhat individual use of the English language. A vanity list of my contributions (which is usually out of date) is a subpage of this one.
In the little free time I have between socialising and wasting time, politics is a big thing for me and I am one of the guys behind the Open Rights Group, mySociety and UKCOD, Stand.org.uk, NO2ID and Make My Vote Count. My mores tend to be libertarian–left; according to a hurried Political Compass run-through, I just scored −7,75/−5,23, putting me a bit further left and a little more libertarian than Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, apparently. I very much enjoy debating my views with people who disagree with me, though; much of my "serious time" online is spent discussing politics in a very diverse group of friends and acquaintances (or was, until I became a Wikiholic). Recent thought suggests much of my personal alignment might be informed by my mother's Welsh Non-Conformism; very little of my politics, though some of my morals, are more informed by my father's Catholicism. I tend to describe myself as a Liberal Catholic.
I work for a dot-com, mainly working on functionality for their website. I have a print-media and digital-media-agency background, notably having worked for a major High Street retailer in the UK. From a Web development point of view, I mainly do server-side development in C# (though I have worked a lot with JSP), but I also specialise in front-end development, pticly CSS and Web accessibility (my CV is available on request ;o)
