About Me

Wikipedia Background

Hi, I started editing articles, mostly for typos and grammar, around 2001 or 2002, creating a user account (this) a couple years later.

I used to have a page here with some links to a little bit of info about me, but it got deleted because someone thought it might be spam. It was all outdated anyway :)

Personal Background

Anyway, about me: I performed in a major rock opera when it left Broadway and toured the Americas, was one of the few kids who put together a garage band while attending one of the nation's first charter schools (a math/science magnet school), was involved in some porting and backporting projects (including getting gaim to build and run on Irix), wrote the early version of a CPU simulator core which eventually was developed by somebody else into a historical mainframe emulator, have done significant original research on minimalist CPU design and alternate ways of working with prime factorizations of numbers, advocate for inclusivity as one of very few trans women for a large global company, and currently perform in an extremely rare type of fetish art as one of the few trans performers. None of those things are notable for WP articles (just circumstantially very uncommon), but I hope they are at least something that won't get deleted from my user info page... We'll see =)

Other info that may help you understand me as a contributor: I am a queer woman, a Witch, a computer programmer since age 6, a Slackware user since age 12, and a punk rocker since my teens. I suffer from depression (been hospitalized for it several times) and had my last drink in 2015 (after multiple hospitalization for that too).
