[edit] George William Herbert

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....

[edit] Wikis

I have installed and am running a MediaWiki wiki at work.

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

[edit] Contributions

This list is about ~~2 weeks~~ 6 months out of date...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

[edit] Real Life

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.

[edit] Usenet

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

I moderate 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 moderate 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.

I tend to regularly read and contribute to sci.space.*, rec.arts.sf.science and rec.arts.sf.written

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

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