Announcements

I have begun taking classes as a 'post-baccalaureate', in preparation for admission to graduate school. So I will not be around as often as I have been the last couple of months. (Now on Christmas vacation.)

Interests

Favorite composer	J. S. Bach
Programming languages of interest	Python, Nice, Fril
Favorite books	The Lord of the Rings, Gödel, Escher, Bach, The New Hacker's Dictionary (even though it's rather out of date with the current online version)

Contributions

I have made significant contributions (i.e. more than just fixing typos, formatting, etc.) to the following:

• Tetration
• Conway chained arrow notation
• Category:Wikipedian musicians
• Amiga demos (marginally significant)
• Babel categorization for organists (created)
• Flip-screen
• An improvement for maintaining the User instruments project: Template:User instrument and its helpers, Template:User instrument category, Template:User instrument subcategory and its helpers; see Wikipedia:Instruments/Adding for details
• Along with the previous item: reworked many of the existing instrument entries to fit into the scheme (a couple of people did the remainder)
• Fril
