Catapultam habeo.

George hates the third person with a passion, and... oh, <bleep>.

George is happy to be a Jack of Many Trades.

I have far better things to do with my time, but can't... stop.... editing....

This George Herbert. However, we're all in the family.

I try not to let the power go to my head.

This list is about 2 weeks 6 months a year out of date...

My 1,000th edit was apparently this administrative edit, on Sunday, March 13, 2006. I was not paying enough attention; I had intended for my 1,000th edit to be an article contribution.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, with my wife Lee, and four six (groan) seven (thank you, Momma Cat) six rescue cats, 3 of which weigh over 12 lbs (and mostly muscle).

I work in computer consulting by day.

By night, I do aerospace engineering as the owner of Venturer Aerospace (see also Commercial Orbital Transportation Services WP entry) and my consulting company Retro Aerospace, which also is involved in various defense-related analysis and technology.

I write technical materials, nonfiction, and a little fiction for flavor. I could say I write poetry, but that would be somewhat of an abuse of the term. I produce doggrel is perhaps a more fair statement.

I have an Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering degree from UC Berkeley and attended the 1992 International Space University summer session in Kitakyushu, Japan.

I have published conference technical papers in space exploration and spacecraft design, internet traffic research, and computer systems reliability.

I was a very long time and multiple topic contributor to Usenet, including moderating newsgroups, group creation process, and widespread participation. I was spamm'ed under around 2006 when the groups I was moderating started getting several hundred spam messages a day around my spam filters, and was unable to participate in any useful way after that.

My first Usenet posts were in 1987, though they don't show up in Google Groups' archive. Many thousands of later ones do, though.

For over 10 years, I moderated sci.space.tech, sci.space.science, sci.military.moderated, and sci.aeronautics.airliners . I was the group creation proponent for the sci.space reorg that created sci.space.tech, .science, and .policy back in late 1993.

Technically I also moderated alt.war.nuclear.biological-chemical-radiological-moderated but the traffic is dead. After it was abandoned by its original moderator, I took over sci.aeronautics.simulation until it fell into disuse and was rolled up into sci.aeronautics.

For a long time, I regularly read and contributed to to sci.space.*, rec.arts.sf.science and rec.arts.sf.written

Frequently I read and contributed to news.groups, talk.bizarre, comp.arch and others.

I ran the Usenet Volunteer Votetakers for a short while in the 1990s.

I murdered B-News ( .cabal ) and was ringleader and chief bottle washer of the Quality Internet Pranksters, perpetrators of several April 1 Usenet hoaxes.

I have had snide comments in email a couple of times by people who spotted me taking credit for accidental IP edits I made.

I am entirely open about who I am, my real name, etc. I have stated above that I own the business whose IP space I primarily use. My day consulting job affiliation is not listed here, but is on a bunch of technical conference papers I've done and conference attendance lists, which are all online.

If you think that finding my IPs is a big deal, my only response is "...and?". I am who I am. I have a 20-plus year history on the Internet and much of it is documented in Google archives of mail and usenet, all under my real name. You can't really out me much more than that. 8-)
