Introduction/Background
Hello, and welcome to CZ! I am a recently Honorably discharged Soldier living in Tucson, Arizona
My "job" in the Army was as an Information Technology Specialist, which basically translates to "a geek in the Army." I suspect I will be doing something in that same career field out in Tucson as well (I am a nerd, after all)
I've always been passionate about and interested in technology in its myriad forms, from computers to Sci-Fi, since around age 12 (the "Age of Reason" as it were).
If you're so inclined, you can read my résumé at nixwizard.net and see pictures of my life in Tucson (and my "past life" in Baghdad, Iraq) at the Gallery here
The necessity of this project
If there is any doubt on the necessity of this project, please see Wikitruth for all the convincing one could possibly need.
Call for Help
Please help out on the Computers Workgroup articles! The four or five of us that regularly edit articles there can't do it alone. You can see related changes in the Workgroup here.
Images on CZ
See Image_talk:MOS_6502.jpg for an interesting dialog between myself and constable Stephen Ewen about importing images from Wikipedia or Wikipedia Commons. Things are definitely not always what they seem to be.
Current Project(s)
We have a license! Hopefully this will help to convince all those fence-sitters and nay-sayers to get off their fences, stop nay-saying, and contribute!
Articles I'm collaborating on
- The Unix/Linux/Open source software family of articles
- The Computer security family of articles
- The Commodore series of articles
- General Computer articles
Articles Approved
I Collaborated On
- Tux - the first Computers Workgroup article to get approved!
(Josh put a HUGE amount of work into this article. Great job folks!)
