Hello and welcome to my user page.
I have been a member of Wikipedia since November 30, 2007 (though the records say December 1 because of time zone differences). I am an administrator here on Wikipedia, which basically means that I have few extra buttons to push if I need to. It also means that if you need help with something, I can probably provide assistance; so please ask!
Interests and favorite areas of Wikipedia
I am very interested in all forms of computer programming and I often use Wikipedia to find the definition of unfamiliar words and terms. In addition, I commonly visit pages relating to video games, astronomy, and science in general.
When I'm not editing or participating in other areas of Wikipedia, I enjoy reading articles on topics that are not available in other encyclopedias, such as Star Wars and Star Trek. Although much of my time here is spent on relatively few groups of pages, sometimes I like to just pick a random interesting link, go on to that article, read it, and repeat the process.
Other Wikimedia Foundation wikis that I frequent include Commons, Meta, and occasionally, the Spanish Wikipedia.
About Me
I was born and live in New York, United States. My interests include reading, computer and web programming and... well, I guess that's about all the useful things I do.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching TV, playing video games (favorite game: Warhawk.), and playing football. (even though I'm not very good at it.) I also enjoy eating pizza, lasagna, ziti, (basically anything Italian), and most junk food.
As to where I came up with my username: long, boring story...
