[edit] Introduction
I don't have any great ideas at this time for my user page so there might not be any creative elements to it, for now. But it looks like it is changing as it seems to finally be coming all together and starting to look good. I have been over a few other interesting user pages and I have a cool beta version in the works. In the mean time, this is it. Welcome and enjoy your stay.
And how can I forget; if you have any questions, comments and request or anything else, please leave me a message in my discussion page.
Update: This is the beta version I was talking about. Now I have an even better version in the works. This one will be moved in to archive when I release the new one

[edit] Links
Orbiter Space Flight Simulator "ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours."
"But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background. Good starting points are JPL's Basics of Space Flight, and R. Braeunig's Rocket & Space Technology."
[edit] Good Article Collaboration of the week
The Good Article Collaboration of the week works to polish already good articles to the highest of standards.
This week's improvement drive is Massively multiplayer online role-playing game:
MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) is a genre of online computer role-playing games (RPGs) in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world. As in all RPGs, players assume the role of a fictional character (most commonly in a fantasy setting) and take control over many of that character's actions. MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player RPGs by the number of players, and by the game's persistent world, usually hosted by the game's publisher, which continues to exist and evolve while the player is away from the game.
MMORPGs are very popular throughout the world, with combined global memberships in subscription and non-subscription games exceeding 15 million as of 2006. Worldwide revenues for MMORPGs exceeded half a billion dollars in 2005, and Western revenues exceeded $1bn in 2006.
You can still help pick next week's article.

This is a basic reference -welcome to wikipedia- code for personal use. Look for the source in the edit page. I can't figure how to display the nowiki code properly. It leaves out the <>code</> tags. So if I or you ever need the code just copy it from edit this page screen. Here it is;
