• 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.

Given the above hobbies, it should come as no surprise that I don't see the sun very often, but when I do get outside, I like to play disc golf. I have my own discs, I can hold my own with most of the folks around here, but I'm against calling myself an intermediate. More like an advanced beginner. I have a long way to go.

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.
