[edit] J’raxis·Com
J’raxis is the creator and primary maintainer of the website J’raxis·Com.[12] The website first went online in 2000, but has existed in various manifestations at less concise URLs since September 13, 1996—for nearly twelve years. It was taken offline for several months when its hosting server was compromised in mid-2003, and from August 11, 2003 until September 12, 2004, it sat mostly empty, with nothing but an index page claiming the site would be back online Real Soon Now™. On September 13, 2004, J’raxis began reposting the old site content, after completing the back-end XSL-based templating system and having converted much of the old content to the new format.
As of March 2008, the site has largely fallen dormant again, and is in need of a redesign once again.
[edit] Free software
J’raxis uses the GNU/Linux operating system and free software almost exclusively. Originally using only Apple and Macintosh computers, J’raxis switched to Linux after using Unix-based systems at his university and workplace. In late 2002, he began to use Linux From Scratch on a Toshiba laptop, Iraxia; in 2005, he began experimenting with Gentoo Linux, and currently runs Gentoo on an AMD64 desktop machine, Iraxia64.
Software that J’raxis has authored, including the code to J’raxis·Com, is released under the GPL. The J’raxis·Com content itself is mostly released under a Creative Commons license where possible.
J’raxis intermittently runs a 20 GiB Freenet node.
J’raxis is not the WIPO Troll.
[edit] Wikipedia
J’raxis mostly performs article cleanup and improvement when he comes across articles that need it. He usually adds links to articles whose cross-linking is scant, adds or corrects categories (in particular, the birth- and death-year categories), fixes typographical and formatting mistakes, and replaces general stub notices with more specific ones.

[edit] Typography
J’raxis always uses correct typography on Wikipedia, including en dashes, em dashes, “curly” quotation marks, and ellipses. In his opinion, there is no excuse for ugly “ASCII kludges” nowadays, when computers in general have supported these extended characters for decades and nearly all major browsers can finally handle Unicode and UTF-8 properly.
