[edit] Things I work on
- I mostly edit the RuneScape articles, usually vandal reverts, since it gets a lot, but I'm chipping in on the featured article drive where I can.
- SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle - trying to get this to featured status too.
- Sussex (chicken), Marans and Rhode Island Red - the breeds some of my vicious pet hens.
- I've done a fair bit of illustrating articles, since it sure brightens up a big mass of text, and makes it a big easier to read and understand. I've added images to Sussex (chicken), Born-Haber cycle and a couple of others.
- I'm also thinking of helping out Deus Ex, Operation Flashpoint and Freelancer sometime - three old favourites. I don't have much free time at the moment, though.
- You may even catch me making copyedits (spelling, grammar, etc) to any article I find myself reading.
- RC patrol on the rare occasions I get my rollback tool working.
[edit] Favourite articles
- RuneScape - the MMORPG I used to annoy people on. I've not been on it in ages however, since MMOs don't really suit me.
- Stargate (device), and related - a favourite film, series, and concept of mine.
- Metalloid - interested as a chemist, and the subject of much ado about Bismuth.

[edit] Images
Some of the images I have uploaded...
This is the first image I uploaded, of one of my hens, for the Sussex (chicken) article.
Second image, two more of my hens (only because one wouldn't get out of frame, grr!) for the Marans article.
A diagram of the Born-Haber cycle that I made.
[edit] Insane rantings
This week's interesting computer problem: damn you Dell and your stylish but impractical wares! Found out the hard way about slimline computer cases over christmas, although the product "description" and the photograph taken from such an angle to make it look as big as a server chassis didn't help. Luckily, alcohol was on hand to save the day and only the backplate of the wireless network card I was installing was too big (the actual board fit perfectly) - I never thought I'd ever use a hacksaw to modify a computer.
