Hello ! My name is Chris(tian) Azoeuf.
I'm newbie at Wikipedia so bear with my small experience and my lack of correct procedures.
I started contributions to the Wikipedia with some articles about Punk rock in Belgium in the late 70's, as it was a very fun period for me.
As I'm interested in numerous things, I could get around a lot in this wikistuff...
Althought I'm a native French-speaking person, I prefer to use English in this Internet environment just because English is much more commonly spoken/read/written and I'm quite comfortable with it.
Cheers

Born in 1959 in Namur, capital of Wallonia, Belgium.
I'm been living in Brussels for quite some time now.
I've done lots of things in my life. After studying photography, I worked in a factory, in TV and radio stations, in sound recording studios, in sound for theater shows and rock concerts, in a youth hostel, as a bartender, as express courier, in the import/export business, in a 3*** hotel, in a flathotel and finally, in the Internet industry.
In the middle of all this, in 1987-1988, I traveled for a year throughout Canada and the US. Intense !
I started to create websites in 1995 and in 1999, I made Web development and Web design my main job. Since then, I created dozens of websites, most of them are built dynamic and are fed from databases (MS SQL Server and MS Access). My favorite scripting language since 1998 has been Macromedia ColdFusion which is a great language for fast advanced coding and is so flexible. I just hope that the merger with Adobe will not have bad effects on ColdFusion.
Music
I'm very eclectic in my musical tastes. I first hit the rock'n'roll craze when I was 11 years old with Eloise from Barry Ryan. Then followed chronologically (just quoting a few): The Beatles with the White Album, the Glam rock wave, hard rock (Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc.), Progressive rock, Woodstock, flower power, country music, protest song, Folk-rock, country, Bluegrass, Free jazz, jazz rock/Jazz fusion, reggae, punk rock, ska, Power pop, rockabilly, Salsa, Brazilian jazz, Latin jazz, etc.
My favorite of all and forever: The Ramones!
I can't standy rap music, Disco neither Blues.
I formed my first punk rock band in 1977 named The Razors (lead vocals). Then followed in 1979 Acné Juvénile (lead vocals and rythm guitar), then The Charts (lead vocals and rythm guitar), then Index (backup vocals and rythm guitar) then a last band for which I don't recall the name (...) (lead vocals and bass guitar). I stopped making music around 1983-84 and now, I can hardly play a few basic chords on my accoustic guitar... and, just don't mention singing...
My favorites places and cities
- Amsterdam
- New York City
- Key West, Florida
- Montreal
- San Diego, California
- Santa Cruz, California
- London
- The South-West of the USA
My thoughts about Wikipedia
- Great idea and great tool. Nice way to organize and manage the infos. Though not very user-friendly and the learning curve quite long (too many infos to read in the Help sections, takes too long). I still have to understand how to deal with the Talk stuff, the copyrights params and many other ways to format. I find the server very slow and editing the wikipedia can take a lot of time.
Chris 11:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC) - I'll look for a wiki for ColdFusion though I could set up MediaWiki on my webserver as a php app side by side with my CF server. But as I'm better with CF than with PHP and I always improve the code to suit my needs, I'd prefer a full CF app.
Chris 11:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC) - I'm having a hell of a time (loosing some actually) as it appears that my user profile is not recognized in the fr.wikipedia. It seems that I'd need to create a second ID to sign my posts over there... No way. There must be a way. I need to find out otherwise I'll add this to my Wikipedia NotMuchUserFriendly list... :-(
Chris 17:26, 16 August 2005 (UTC) - I'm wondering how this phenomenum (Wikipedia) is seen by the big players selling encyclopedia books and other supports. I think they should not be very comfortable right now...
