User:Zilog Jones

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi. I started contributing to the Wikipedia using this name on the 25th of January, 2005 (UTC). I had previously made some contributions without an account, but as I either did them at home with my ISP's dynamic IP addresses or in UL under their proxy server, I cannot track them. I am also a contributor to the Japanese Wikipedia, though I don't do much.

Currently an undergraduate student in the University of Limerick, doing a Bachelor of Science in IT & Telecommunications. I have interests in electronics and computers, video (and to an extend audio) technology and editing/conversion/encoding/whatever, cars, Japanese stuff (anime and manga, the language to an extent, electronics, other junk), and video games.


Due to being in my final year of my degree, I may not be contributing as much (not like I did all that much anyway :D ) as before.

[edit] Contributions

The first article I created from scratch was the one on Sony's Professional Disc for DATA format, created on the 18th June 2005. It's not perfect, and a lot of it's very similar to the Blu-ray article (though that couldn't be helped as the format is confusingly similar), but it's better than nothing. It also helped me discover how to make redirect pages, which can be very useful - especially with a format like PDD that seems to officially go under three different names (PDD, ProDATA and Professional Disc for DATA)!

[edit] People who say stuff to me

Hi! I'm his friend! ask him why his name's so crazy.

Alright. Why is your name so crazy Zilog?

  • I dunno.
