I'm an active Wikipedian and you can find more about me at my Wikipedia profile.

Wikimania
I would love to go to Wikimania, August 2006, but can't make it to Boston. I'm in Sydney for August, but I'll be in S.E. Asia (maybe Thailand or Indonesia, but I can adjust my plans) later in 2006, so if something's happening there, I'm keen to join in. Indonesia is my preferred option, as I speak the language and can also get involved with discussion on the Indonesian Wikipedia.

On Wikia
Not doing much here, as my main activity is at Wikipedia and Appropedia.

And keeping a curious eye on:
 * Hitchhiking Wikia
 * PermaWiki
 * Sca21
 * Renewable Energy Design Wikia
 * Personals Wikia
 * Ideas
 * Wikocracy (what happens when everyone can write and revise the law?)
 * Wikitecture
 * Minangkabau
 * Campaigns Wikia
 * Anything to do with a wiki-based blog. Notes:
 * See Blog:Home & Blog:How do I add a new blog entry? for some ideas on how it can work).
 * Blogging isn't about personal blogs, so do we need a new Wikia to look at this topic? (Someone gave me a good answer on this, to the effect that each Wikia has its own guidelines and some may allow blogs. Can't find where that answer was, though... or did I dream it?)
 * Brettz9 & and Nyarlathotep are also interested in a wikiblog.
 * Interesting blog sites (from my perspective) to take note of are: Kuro5hin, Not Even Wrong & LiveJournal.

I'm very interested in free networking sites that help to link people with common interests. See my /Networking/ page.

Subpages

 * My blog - coming... eventually. For now it's at Bloggy thing and rather out of date. What about this format? Try Schtuff.com as next step.
 * Podcasts & online news sources
 * Search and research tools
 * Networking - accomodation sharing for travellers; work; volunteering; dating & social networking.
 * Software - my favorite open source software.

What I'm keeping track of...

 * Blog comment:Home
 * Personals - Community portal
 * Posting a thesis: Converting doc files to wiki?
 * Talk:Interwiki map
 * RenewableEnergy:Talk:Main Page
 * w:c:personals:How will this site work
