[edit] About me

Hello! My Wikipedia username is DragonHawk. Feel free to call me that. My True Name is "Benjamin Scott". Feel free to call me that. Most people (myself included) just use "Ben". Feel free to call me that. But please don't call me "That".  ;)

ObBiographicalDrivel: In Real Life, I live in New Hampshire, in the New England region of the United States. I'm a geek, a professional sysadmin by trade. I'm big into Linux and Free Software, and am heavily involved in my local LUG. I also know a fair bit about professional Microsoft Windows administration, although personally, I don't like Microsoft. I have a good understanding of technology and science in general. Outside of the geek/career stuff, I'm also interested in science fiction, and read heavily. I also like music, especially rock, double-especially classic rock. My favorite band is Rush.

[edit] Contact me

Feel free to contact me! I am open to suggestions, comments, commendations, and condemnations. Let me know what you think I'm doing right or wrong. Or just say "Hi".

You can always leave me a message on my talk page. Please separate threads using section headings. Lately I have been checking Wikipedia at least day or two. That may change, but even if it does, I will still eventually get any message left there.

My email address consists of my Wikipedia username, at the domain used by Google's email service. Anyone who can understand that is welcome to email me.  :-) Or just use the link in the "toolbox" on the left.

[edit] Toolbox

I keep these here for easy access. They're mostly for me, although the ideas may be useful to others.

• Things I want to do on Wikipedia
• Things I have abandoned
• A sandbox, to test my understanding of syntax, templates, and such
• Quick reference to Wikipedia stuff I always forget/loose
• /WikiProjects of interest (to me)
• Images and other media I have found useful/neat
  • /Media bookmarks - Links to categories
  • /Icons - Gallery of my own
• My edit stats

[edit] Holding area

Works in progress, or just stuff I wanted to save but didn't have a good place for. "A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind."

• /SCSI SCSI notes
• /Temp1 potential template against NOR and for V
• /Temp3 Yet Another welcome template
• /Temp2 Another welcome template idea, likely to abandon
• /Temp4 A template for talk pages which are a magnet for misplaced discussion (like Talk:Main Page)

[edit] Busy page bookmarks

Sometimes, I want to watch something, but the page generates so much activity that putting it in my watchlist is counter-productive.

• Talk:Main page - History

[edit] User boxes

I limit my use of userboxes to those which have some relevance to my work as a Wikipedian. I'm here to write an encyclopedia, not create a MySpace page.
