I live in the United States with a spouse and cat(s).  Worked 40 years as a programmer, sysadmin, professor, and tech-of-all-trades consultant.  Formal education: M.A. in public sector management; and M.S. in computer science, most of a Ph.D. (not completed) in Germanic linguistics and literature, and B A. in liberal arts, major English.  I joined this wiki in 2007.  Some articles I have worked on:


I have worked a lot in the [https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Category:Computers_Workgroup Computers Workgroup].  I once served on the governing council, when no one else would, in hopes of keeping the project alive.  When Citizendium teetered again in mid 2020 (first year of the COVID-19 era), I wanted to recover the sense of community that I formerly had in Citizendium. I hope Citizendium can carry on for many years to come.  It still exists because of past great efforts by Larry, Anthony, Milt, Norman, Ro and others, and the continuing efforts of John. S., Hayford P., and the current technical staff.  I am grateful to them and to all the current and past participants.

I returned in mid 2020 (after a long hiatus) and took ownership of the Citizendium domain to help the project continue.  My interests are wide ranging and include traditional music, languages, science fiction, literature, plants and flowers.  I once contributed significantly to the [[Coal mining]] article.
