User:Tom Henrik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hey there. If you have arrived at this page, I take it you are interested in knowing more about me. My full name is Tom Henrik Aaberg, and I live in Trondheim, Norway. I was born in 1980 in a small seaside town in the Southern parts of Norway, called Farsund. (Yeah, I know. I was just as surprised to find out that Farsund had its own Wikipedia entry.) I've been an active user of Wikipedia for as long as I have had internet (since the middle of 2004), but only recently made myself an account. I have not been an active editor, though, as there aren't many subjects I feel comfortable enough about my knowledge level to start "fixing" or improving.

My first real contribution to Wikipedia was the article about Abandonia Reloaded, when I discovered that Braindead had created a small stub about the site. Since I was a co-founder of the site, I felt that finally I had something I could contribute with, as few people knows the site to the level of detail that I do. (Apart from the other co-founders, naturally). Other sites that I have been involved with includes Abandonia and Home of the Underdogs, although I have only helped Sarinee Achavanuntakul with ideas and brainstorming session in the latter.

I am probably most "famous" for my work on Abandonia, where I began work on April 30th, 2004. The three things I am most remembered for is that I was the initator behind daily updates and for starting with Mega Updates (when I was an updater). Nowadays I work mostly with the Abandonia AW List, which I founded and are the only worker for.

I am also an avid pixeller, and have created many of the pixels featured on both Abandonia and Abandonia: Reloaded. Especially the Space Invaders mascot used on both sites.

As I help run two online gaming sites, it is probably not a surprise that I am an avid gamer myself, but due to my amount of work, I find that I don't have as much time to play games as I'd like. And as I just landed a job in a warehouse, driving a truck, my free time is even more limited.

During my life I have lived several places, including Longyearbyen and Fuengirola, and I am currently making plans to move to Lakeland, Florida in order to settle down with my girlfriend in a house dominated by cats.

Apart from gaming, I have many interests ranging from drawings to billiards to nature. I particularly enjoy to test my survival skills, something I have been interested in since childhood, but only got to use to its fullest during my service in the Norwegian Army. Although I am not, by far, an expert. It's just an hobby of mine.

Anyways, I guess this is as far as anyone would bother to read, so I'll just stop here. I hope I have not bored you too much with my ramblings.

Take care!
