From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greetings!
I am a a computer geek (thus the user name) specializing in database connectivity & information warehousing, and small computer networking, but my hobby (and hopefully my eventual profession) is musicology specializing in organology.
I hail from the thriving metropolis of Des Lacs, North Dakota. Originally from Farmington Hills, Michigan, I came to Minot Air Force Base kicking and screaming, but now, you couldn't drag me out of North Dakota!
Since I was adopted by Lethaniol the adopting uber-god, I want to return the favor and see how I am at being the mentor instead of the mentee! I don't want to overwork my meager abilities, so I must state that, until my current adoptees feel they are ready to go independent, I have to stick with the people that I have now.
I work with Wiktionary and Wikipedia mainly, but I'll browse and lend a helping (typing) hand to any Wikimedia project that I can be useful.

[edit] Personal
Hmmm.... Let's see - married, 4 kids, 5 cats, 1 dog, a few smaller pets (bats, fish, rodents, among others), miscellaneous transient pets (like a sick bat we nursed back to health and released - but she hung around and is now a pet herself), going back to school for my Bachelor of Science in Education majoring in Music Education, ummmmm, I guess that's about it....
