I'm twentysomething , a systems administrator , web developer and all-round geek . I'm currently completing a degree in engineering sciences , and currently enjoy pattern recognition problems. My thesis will be on acoustic triangulation , specifically aimed at solving 3D explosives detection used during cluster bomb testing. I'm a self-confessed technophile . Oh, and I'm also engaged to the love of my life . I'm apparently INFP , although I don't believe it to be a scientific method , as well as a sceptic in general. I'm -2.75 on the Economic left/right scale, and -0.97 on the Social Libertarian /Authoritarian scale, according to the Political Compass . This places me in the same quadrant as Mandela , Ghandi and the Dalai Lama , and completely opposite Bush , Blair and Sharon . Sounds about right.
I'm from Stellenbosch , near Cape Town , South Africa . I take an interest in articles specifically related to this part of the world, and I could probably be described as a spelling nazi . The first edit and article on the English Wikipedia under my username was made in September 2004 , and was an amateurish attempt at highlighting a South African landmark. My 1000th edit (according to Kate's tools ) was just a bit of housekeeping. I've been active on the Afrikaans Wikipedia since at least July 2004 , when I started an article on politics . My Wikipediholic score is 130, apparently the optimal, most productive range according to the online version. You may or may not be interested in my contributed image gallery or to-do list . I actively hunt spam on Wikipedia, especially relating to (South) African topics.
