[edit] About
My name is Benjamin Craton. I am a 21 year old senior at Purdue University where I am majoring in the History of Science and Technology. As you can see, I am also not very long winded.
[edit] Internet Life
I am basically hooked up Intravenously to the internet. I have programmed for many websites, mostly my own. My offical homepage is FalseBlue.com however, the most active of my projects is the server which is nearest to me.
My alternate server Zephiris is the main box on which I work. Currently, it runs Gentoo Linux along with PHP, Apache, MySQL, and irssi.
I spend alot of my time outside of class on IRC, namely on #boilermaker-anime@irc.rizon.net with my TsunamiNoAi username. I am also on #kawaii-radio@irc.chatsociety.net which is the IRC branch of Kawaii-Radio.
[edit] Wikipedia
I've been a part of wikipedia for some time. I'm not quite sure when I first came here, but I find it to be a valuable resource. Recently I discovered how rampent vandalism is here, an unfortunate result of wikipedia's open source approach to information. As a result, I have joined the Counter Vandalism Unit to try and combat immature users from defacing pages for other viewers.
In practice, doing CVU work, I do not look for information vandals. That is, I am not concerned with people who change minute details in articles. If I was, I would have to look up the facts on every change in every article I review. I instead focus on blatent vandalism. Looking for recently updated pages with IP addresses instead of usernames, I check the differences between their edit and the previous one. If the page has been blanked or defaced, I try to quickly revert the page back to its original form.
I also watch for newly created pages and for those that are nonsense or otherwise malformed, I leave a stub or a deletion notice on that page so that others may quickly follow up.
