• Writing:
  • So you want to be a sysop? - A detailed guide to the unwritten rules of becoming a sysop.
  • Fighting the AP War - A strategic look at how AP is being used, and an evaluation of various actions. Take it all with a grain of salt, since it's unfinished and there are errors in it.
  • Iscariot's Vandal Data - A collection of my research into Iscariot's vandal data's history and my conclusion based on it.
• Suggestions:
  • Verbose Barricades - Didn't seem to garner much support, unfortunately, so abandoned.
  • Alt Proximity Warning - The DS version of a suggestion that was eventually peer-reviewed.
  • Password Change Option - A suggestion that was thought to be a dupe at the time and abandoned.

Hobbies

Backloggery.com: I play games. That's a link to pretty much everything I do that's related to gaming. It has lists of all the games I own, what I think of each of them, what systems I own, what my Steam/Xbox Live/PSN/etc. usernames are, and a whole lot more. Do yourself a favor and sign up there, since the community and site are awesome.

MyAnimeList.net: I used to watch a lot of anime. These days, I don't watch as much, but here's a link to everything I've seen.

I dabble in coding on the side for fun. Check my userscripts for some examples of coding I've done for fun within the scope of UD.

I also like to argue on the Internet (though not here) for fun, and there are a few sites I go to where you can get some good debates going over technology or science. These days I go by Aichon or Aichonic pretty much everywhere, but I used to go by Anubis IV and Orison, so if you see either of those, wave and say "hi", since it's probably me on an old account somewhere.
