I'm an undergraduate Philosophy student at both the (very) liberal College of Philosophy, Literature and Human Sciences (FFLCH) of University of São Paulo and the (very) conservative Brazilian Philosopher Olavo de Carvalho (although I'm currently not taking classes with him currently). I'm also an electronics technician working with tech support for industrial data acquisition devices and living in São Paulo city, capital of the São Paulo state, Brazil.

[edit] Interests

My main interests are Philosophy, mostly in the fields of Metaphysics, Ancient philosophy, Medieval philosophy, Philosophy of religion, Epistemology, Philosophy of science and basically any contemporary philosopher improving upon these under any post-but-anti-modern perspective, including those of the Traditionalist school of religious studies; Economics in the Austrian school tradition; Politics and History.

My secondary interests are varied, including among others: fantasy and science fiction books; computer games, mostly in the fighting, RPG and MMORPG genres; programming languages; and Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular. The game I was playing until recently was World of Warcraft, where I was a proud member of the famous Dawn Alliance guild, formerly a part of the even more famous Ängels av Tända, in the North American "Maelstrom" realm. I plan playing again in a few months, once a cool expansion comes about.

[edit] To Do

To-do list for User:Alexander Gieg:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Create a Category:WikiProject Brazil members, correct the user templates that refer to it, and correct subst'ed users. Split Category:Wikipedians in São Paulo (city) from Category:Wikipedians in São Paulo, correct the user template referring it, and correct subst'ed users. Then search for city categories and place them inside the state one, correcting user box templates and user pages accordingly. Do the same for other states. Create a new template, named {{Usercatb}}, merging the best features of {{Usercat-2}}, such as multiple places, and {{User category}}, such as display of user boxes and custom text, with full empty parameter handling, so that it can work as a direct drop-in replacement for all of {{Usercat}}, {{Usercat-1}} and {{Usercat-2}}. Note: more links at Category:Usercat templates. Afterwards, discover all categories that use them and change them accordingly, or check whether a bot is feasible, starting with Category:Wikipedians in Brazil, Category:Wikipedians in São Paulo and Category:Wikipedians in São Paulo (city). Do to {{Educat}} roughly the same that went into {{Usercatb}}, and improve it with categorizations. Replace this section with a proper Todo template.
