Contributions[edit]

I've done some work all over the place. I like to surf and find little things to fix, which means I do a lot of minor edits.
After I recovered from this bad trojan, I added a removal section.
I recently created a stub for the P & O Canal. That's the first article I've created.
Also, I'm into Lost so I've done some fancruft for the pertinent articles.

User Name Meaning[edit]

From the two ASCII characters carriage return and line feed which form CRLF. For example:

See that empty line above this one? If you were to copy that empty line into a simple text editor, all that it would have is a 10 and a 13, which your editor would interpret as a blank line. Geeky, huh? CRLF was used with signals sent to old computer printers, but the concept really comes from typewriters. I love the fact that contemporary technology still relies on technology paradigms of the past.

Occupation[edit]

Technology consultant

Interesting Links[edit]

There's this special page called Booksources that takes in an ISBN (eg Design Patterns ISBN 0-201-63361-2.) and refers you to worldwide resources for the book. Furthermore, you can create your own JavaScript file that will automatically redirect you to the book resource you choose. I wonder what other types of JavaScript functionality users can customize on Wikipedia?
