I'm a married male with teenage children. We live in Torrens Park, a suburb of Adelaide. I'm a big fan of humour, many types of music, and other stuff too. I made my first edit in late March 2007, but my interest in Wikipeadia took off in mid April when I started looking for cover versions of What a Fool Believes. This quickly turned into a 3 month obsession, which I still haven't quite got under control.
[edit] Time
The chances are very close to 100%[1] that I live in a different time-zone to you, so don't be upset if I don't respond immediately.
This user's time zone is UTC+9:30. |
between March and October. (That's when our Winter is.)
This user's time zone is UTC+10:30. |
between November and March. (Summertime, and the living is easy.)
(Yes, it really is "+", and it really is ":30")

[edit] Footnotes
- ^ My first estimate of the chances was: 1 - (about 1 million in about 6 billion) = about 99.9833%
However, at 11:23 6 September 2007 Rich Farmbrough correctly pointed out: "You need to weight your probability figures with language and internet access." Assuming that the vast majority of people reading English Wikipedia live in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Uk and the US, and further assuming that internet accessibility in my time zone is about the same as accessibility in Aus, Can, NZ, UK and US, then:
My second estimate is: 1 - (about 1 million in about 400 million) = about 99.75%
