N.B. This page (or a portion of it) is on the multilingual wikisource, if you are viewing it from a language subdomain, you are viewing it through interwiki transclusion. Clicking on links that appear local, or the [page] link above, will take you to the multilingual wikisource. Interwiki transclusion may not display properly in non-compliant browsers; in addition, links may be to non-existent pages but will not show redlinks, unless the link is to a page on the multilingual Wikisource.

I was very active on Wikipedia, Wikisource (multiple languages), and other Wikimedia projects from the mid-2000's to the early 2010's. Since then, I've only occasionally shown up and have given up (by default/inactivity) my admin (and in a couple case bureaucrat) bit on all projects. None of my bots are currently active, nor have been for years, though some retain a flag on some projects. I check back from time-to-time and occasionally make edits, but I no longer have the time for extended projects or the commitment required for most administrative work.

I'm a cyberspace professional, involved in suitability and effectiveness testing of complex technologies. I'm also an adjunct professor of philosophy, specializing in philosophy of history from a Continental perspective, in particular, the effects of the omission of various classes (queer, women, racial minorities, disabled) from the historical narrative; as well as in Indigenous and other non-classical logics.
