User:Modus Vivendi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Modus Vivendi is Latin for method of living, but appeals to the present author because it's the only foreign phrase he convinced an attentive but language-shy listener to learn and adopt (he used modus operandi when modus vivendi would have been more appropriate) during his time as a graduate student at an American university.

In any event, I am a Canadian former academic now working in high technology, with advanced training in science, and knowledge of several foreign languages.

I am a long-term observer of Canadian politics, mystery novels, and a few other things, and I try to correct obvious errors I observe in those areas.

I have been on the internet since 1989, and I may be available if events so develop in the future to play a technical role in Wikipedia.

Here are a few things I have contributed to Wikipedia

• Macroscope
• Children of the Thunder
• Category Nero Wolfe -- a gateway to many things about the irascible corpulent Manhattan detective, some contributed by me, others merely gathered under one roof.
  • I have now added the Category Nero Wolfe novels
  • The pre-existing Nero Wolfe page contains a list of Rex Stout and Robert Goldsborough books and stories. I have been gradually adding individual pages for the various books by each author and eventually the lists on the Nero Wolfe page may become partially redundant.
  • Nero Wolfe novel summaries
    • The Doorbell Rang
    • Might As Well Be Dead
    • The Silent Speaker
    • Murder in E-Minor
    • Not Quite Dead Enough
• The Bishop's Mantle
