I'm more of a reader/maintainer than a writer, but every now and then I get the bug to write and/or research an article. Maybe when I get braver (or at least more bored) I'll port some of my other stuff. My interests include Florida, current events, nearly all aspects of computers and engineering, and trends in current and past history that help(ed) shape or destroy civilization.

Meanwhile, this page has turned into my own personal reference desk for wikiStuff I look for.

stuff I wanna work on

Some candidates for future merging from my previous writings include:

• Mockingbird
• Earth (book)
• file system

Pages I care about that could use some help:

• virtual ground
• antenna theory (now a redirect to antenna, should be separated and expanded on)
• environment variable need to list more MS Windows info
• registry same as above unless it's under another entry??
• communications path needs an article mentioning as many terms as reasonable from Category:Radio frequency propagation plus Concentrator, Propagation, attenuation, distortion, link; and then disambiguate these and all relevant things now linking to path
• scope needs more types of scopes listed, possibly better linking, examples need to be added to related articles where possible. Emphasize that scope disambiguates environment in first paragraph.
• Retagging and filling categories: Category:Orphaned categories, Category:Writers, Category:Writers by genre, Category:Cryptographers, Category:Craters
• Searching for orphaned categories and other category maintenance

• Articles already merged from E2: UFS

random stuff

Watching these categories:
