NOTE: If you want to contact me, do it on my talkpage, not here.

I'm currently slogging my way through life, writing programs, doing math for fun, playing video games, and browsing the vast network that is the Internet in my spare time. Other than that, there's not much else to say about me.

I've been interested in WP for a couple of years, though I only recently (late October 2006) saw fit to actually make a userpage and make pages, instead of simply reverting vandalism and correcting minor typos. Although reverting vandalism/spam/ads is what I do now more than anything else on WP, so I think I've come full circle. And yes, I do find it ironic that my userboxes actually are longer than the rest of my content; this is probably because I've already put most of my interests in the boxes, obviating (ooh, fancy word! he must be smart!) the need for me to state them here.

By the way, why does everybody keep spelling it 'Venior' or 'Vienor'? I see those more often that 'Veinor', and that puzzles me.

[edit] Vandalfighting/Spam removal

I've been fighting vandalism (mostly spam) on Wikipedia since mid-November 2006; it's a thankless job, and you tend to get flamed for it (one guy wanted to get my userpage deleted since it's on a non-notable subject [me]). Also, you sometimes get people who read the comments other people leave and assume 'Oh, someone said something bad about him! He must be a bad person!' instead of realizing that this sort of job is going to get you a lot of flak from people that is totally unjustified (though I do make mistakes sometimes).

A while back, I wrote a script to parse the logs from the linkwatcher to see how many times/day each link was added and who added them. The main page for the output can be found on User:Veinor/Link count.

[edit] Templates I've made
