I'm an active Wikipedian and you can find more about me at my Wikipedia profile.

Wikimania

I would love to go to Wikimania, August 2006, but can't make it to Boston. I'm in Sydney for August, but I'll be in S.E. Asia (maybe Thailand or Indonesia, but I can adjust my plans) later in 2006, so if something's happening there, I'm keen to join in. Indonesia is my preferred option, as I speak the language and can also get involved with discussion on the Indonesian Wikipedia.


Interests

On Wikia

Not doing much here, as my main activity is at Wikipedia and Appropedia.

I do keep an eye on:

  • PermaWiki
  • Other green/social stuff - see the Development and Sustainability WikiNode
  • Sca21
  • Renewable Energy Design Wikia
  • Personals Wikia
  • A wiki-based blog. Notes:
    • See Blog:Home & Blog:How do I add a new blog entry? for some ideas on how it can work).
    • Blogging isn't about personal blogs, so do we need a new Wikia to look at this topic? (Someone gave me a good answer on this, to the effect that each Wikia has its own guidelines and some may allow blogs. Can't find where that answer was, though... or did I dream it?)
    • Brettz9 & and Nyarlathotep are also interested in a wikiblog.
    • Interesting blog sites (from my perspective) to take note of are: Kuro5hin, Not Even Wrong & LiveJournal.
  • Wikiversity at Wikibooks. My main contribution, though, will be by developing articles at Wikipedia which can then be used as source material for Wikiversity.

And keeping a curious eye on:

I'm very interested in free networking sites that help to link people with common interests. See my Networking page.

Subpages

  • My blog - coming... eventually. For now it's at Bloggy thing and rather out of date.
  • Podcasts & online news sources
  • Search and research tools

  • Software - my favorite open source software.
