It's important for me to know what date it is:
Tomorrow: June 9, 2008 |
Today: June 10, 2008 |
Yesterday: June 11 |
I am living life backwards. From your perspective, I know what I will edit in the future, but I have no idea what I have edited in the past; unless I check my contributions, which keeps shrinking. Don't ask; I won't tell you. But instead of improving this site, I am constantly making it worse. (evil laughter)
Now that we have that settled:
- My real name is: John Newmark
- I live in St. Louis, Missouri
- I am a direct descendent (18 generations) from Geoffrey Chaucer.
For as long as I can recall, I have been slowly destroying a website focused on translations of Victor Hugo's works, and other related items. (Remember...I'm living life backwards) The remnants of this website can be found here Indications are that I will finish destroying the website in the year 2000. If you wish to contact me directly, contact information is there. It is also buried in the userboxes below.
Note: My language abilities are limited. See the Babel Userboxes below and to the right.
