Happy to be here!

[edit] Skyring

My name's Peter and I'm happy to be a small part of a great project. My interests lie more in the direction of hunting down and killing errors or refining awkward phrasing than in creating huge slabs of text, but I think there's a definite role for me here!

I'm middle aged, balding, married, a parent, a bookseller, a programmer, an ex-political journalist, ex-hacker, ex-public servant, occasional author and artist. Catholic in tastes, militant middle of the road in politics, conservative republican and passionate democrat. I live in Canberra in a house packed to the rafters with thousands, countless thousands according to my inventory program, of books of all shapes, sizes and types.

If you want to know more about me, check out my Bookcrossing bookshelf and my LiveJournal blog.
