Search Engine

I have created a custom search engine for Wikipedia. It uses the Goolgle engine and is significantly better than the default Wikipedia search. Use it here

Introduction

Hi All, I was born on the 11th of February 1984. I live in a small corner of the world otherwise known as Australia, in the outer north eastern suburbs of Melbourne. In 2006 I will complete my Commerce / Science double degree at RMIT. I work part time in a timber yard on the weekends. I am a volunteer in the Panton Hill CFA (fire brigade)

Interests

Of particular interest to me is political history, and the causes for conflict throughout the 20th centruy. Facist and Communist states and how they are percieved in the west interests me greatly.

I also have a hobby interest in photography. I enjoy reading about (and driving) different cars, for those who have no interest in cars this sentance will be wasted - but I HATE turbo.

My Contributions

I only discovered Wikipedia in mid 2005 and since then I have been hooked. I have made significant contributions to the Mercedes Mclaren SLR article (my favourite car) including a farily large overhaul. I have also made minor contributions to the Bugatti Veyron and Dimensional lumber articles.
