June 2013, I have decided to try to involve myself with Wikipedia again. That's about it.

Right now I am working on the Phonoscope Communications article which was recently nominated for deletion. I have rewritten the article to resolve POV complaints, and thanks to recommendations from other editors and new sources having been discovered form reliable sources, I believe that the company's article can meet the notability requirements. I have no connection to them, other than I edited created the article several years ago and I subscribed to their cable television service during the 1990s.

October 2014

Still doing an edit now and then. Check out my user box for those who operate internet radio stations. 1 of 1 of editor have already embraced this innovative new user box.

Phonoscope article got kept, which is cool. My wicked old article concerning the JamCam is still around too.

February 2016

Well, the JamCam article got knocked off, but I was too busy to notice. I suggest that the JamCam is notable because because it was a sub $50 USD digital camera, manufactured and sold in 2001, that produced images of adequate quality (640x480, flash) for use on the web. AFAIK, other sub-$50 digital cameras available at the time produced images that were too poor (320x240, no flash), and on top of that were usually marketed to juveniles.

September 2016

On the disambiguation page for LEL, someone had asserted that "LEL" stood for "Laughing Extremely Loudly", without any citation. So, I merely added a "citation needed" tag. A short and unremarkable war erupted, the end result being that the assertion has been completely removed from the page. I will call this a victory.

Update: Now it's back again, meh.

Update 2: Now it says LEL means "laughing even louder". Yeah, ok. Whatever.

March 2018

Still alive. Every year for the past few years I get invited to vote for something called ArbCom and then I never do. Next time I am definiely going to vote on that. It's neat just to get invited.

June 2021

Well the last time they did ArbCom they increased the requirements to vote in it, and I got excluded. So that kind of sucks.

November 2023

Well now I can vote in the ArbCom thing again. I should figure out who to pick.
