[edit] About Me
I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I currently work as a business consultant, focusing on business management, event planning, and government lobbying around cultural issues. I have been involved with the Halifax music community for 16 years, and have done all sorts of neat things around that.
More importantly, though, than real life achievements, is that I have been online since about 1984, when I first plugged a 300 baud acoustic coupler into my Vic-20 and called into my first BBS (TIBBS, a local BBS run on a Texas Instruments computer!) I had an email account on the AM*X network and a FIDOnet account by 1986, and was trying to hack into the Dal university computer by 1987. My first real DARPA net style internet email address was at Dalhousie University as a student in 1990.... I remember when there were only 1100 usenet new groups and the newgroups were all, by and large, good!
I think Wiki is great, though almost every page to do with music of Nova Scotia is very un-encyclopedic and completely biased. I think I have a lot to contribute here, but god damn it is a lot of work. I am being bold and hope that my massive edits of some of these pages will be the catalyst to have a more healthy level of involvement by our music community in this wiki community.
[edit] Nova Scotia
I love my home with a deep passion. Its ridiculous, I make fun of myself so you should to. Over winter break 2005/06 I am founding the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nova_Scotia, working on new template driven sidebars (which other people actually placed! woot!) and trying to get together enough people to start a biweekly "Nova Scotia Article of the Moment" system.
I am trying to upgrade all the Nova Scotia maps, flags, crests, arms to a better standard of graphic. I am also upgrading all the municiple pages, and I am slowly going through the NS county pages and adding content and links. I am also watching to make sure creeping stupid tourist scottish revisionism does not overtake historical fact on the NS, CB culture, history and music pages.
[edit] NS Project Links
I am pretty much out of updating music for now, too much other structure and organization to do.
[edit] Major Revisions to Come
- finish buck 65 album pages - unlikely to happen any time soon.
- all county upgrades on hold until Plasma East and I complete the new NS community template User:WayeMason/test
- ECMA page upgraded
