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.
  6. Spending time making an incredibly handsome userpage, replete with amazingly on-message and up-to-date userboxes, is probably not the best way to spend time improving the encyclopædia.

Things I am Proud Of

I was a blood donor for many years, with 41 accredited donations. On 11th May 2012 I gave my first platelet donation. The UK Blood and Transplant Service prefers donors to give either whole blood or platelets, not both, so I guess I'm proud of ceasing to be a blood donor as of May 2012. Not really something to be proud of – sitting on my arse eating biscuits and drinking tea for a couple of hours – but if saving lives sitting on my arse eating biscuits is something to be proud of then yes, I'm proud.

Stuff


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.

SOPA blackout

This thing was completely unnanounced, as far as I'm aware. However having read what it's about I support it 100%. The Internet should be free. Tonywalton  00:59, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
