Meta has a User Page for Asa Winstanley

This user is a professional writer or journalist.

Hello I am Asa. I live in London. I discovered Wikipedia when it was listed on Slashdot in July 2001. I then started tinkering with various bits. I continue to do so when I have a bit of time. My user name used to be just Asa, but that was needed for an article (should have thought more before I used that user name really!). Software changes now mean I could have the user Asa again, but this one is fine.
