My name is Tony Walton, and I edit Misplaced Pages.

Things I have Decided:

  1. "Never Edit Sober" is bnot a gooidea
  2. I need to discover Unicode, so I can say "☺" (&#9786;) instead of ":-)" It's been pointed out to me that 'Alt+1" makes a ☺'. I'm told Windows works this way, but on this 'ere MacBook Alt+1 makes '¡". Unicode is more of a bugger to type but is platform-neutral.
  3. Use the Pipe trick at every conceivable opportunity, because it rocks.
  4. Tell everybody I know about the Pipe trick, including writing "http://en.wikipedia.org/Help:Pipe_trick" on the wall of the Gents' at the pub.
  5. Where another editor prefers to put his willy is a matter of supreme indifference to me regarding the quality of their contribution(s) to this encyclopædia. Same applies to what another editor prefers to do with her ladyparts.


I worked for Sun Microsystems until May 5, 2006, on which date they made me redundant after 11½ years. So if anyone has any job going for a Unix sysop and knowledge engineer in the UK (or possibly Germany), drop me an email... Ah well, worth a try.

I was nominated as an admin by Jimfbleak on 8 December, 2006. The nomination page is here.

I don't appear to be related to anyone famous, except possibly Kinmont Willie Armstrong but that's only what my mother has told me, and she tells lies.
