Unfortunately for you guys I seem to have survived and so here I am to do my damage to this great encylopedia, fortunately though I am a nice person so you shouldn't have to worry too much!

Hobbies, Interests and Expertise

Mostly my hobbies seem to be based on computers, which isn't suprising really. I have an interest in pretty much anything electrical / electronic - especially if I can take it apart to see how it works. Also I have a big interest in Web design, mostly the programming , and have built a few websites (Higher Fingle Farm, Starlincs Planetarium) through the small company I run with a friend. I self taught myself PHP, Html and Mysql and I like to think that I have a good understanding of all 3. Currently I am working on a PHP based project called LIVE! which is a sort of social betworking and productivity site (anyone who wants to help ouit get in touch we need you). Other than that I like both reading and writing stuff - especially the writing. I like to think I am quite a good writer after having published a couple of articles.

On Wikipedia

In truth I try my hand at anything and everything because I feel that specialising at a single thing actually minimizes productivity (oooh technical!). For example I occasionally use VandalProof when I get the chance (although I am very careful with is - especially as I got approved before I should have thanks to a kind admin) or tour the RC's or New pages special pages. As such I have a very wide range of edits to all sorts of different pages. I am a member of the Mediation cabal (well if it exists) and Esperanza and believe that although Wikipedia is primarily an encyclopedia it is an excellent community as well. At the moment I am currently working on the following articles (a.k.a to do list):

1. Micro Mart - Working on the history and modern events fo the mag. Have added picyutere and infobox. Still requires rewrite
2. Video scaler - clean up reasearch and rewrite but information is sparse
3. Web Designer - stub for magazine article need to expand this!!
4. Computer magazines - expanding list of computer magazines
5. Template:Computer Magazines - created this template from Computer magazines, again needs expanding.
6. Computer Active - magazine article, need to start...
