pro-∪nion. Please enjoy my very messy userpage, as is tradition. Pronouns: any are fine, I tend to use singular they when speaking in third person (which is rare).

I use several userscripts: /common.js, meta:special:mypage/global.js. Honestly, for some of these I'm amazed anyone could cope without them. Try editing logged-out, it's a pain.

Timeline

This is mostly so I can keep track of what I and others have done around this cyber-vicinity, but it may be of more general interest. Maybe eventually I'll throw in some <noinclude>s to allow a more practical sublisting to be transcluded somewhere more useful than my userspace (ironic, isn't it?)
