I started contributing to wikipedia on exactly December 31, 2002.^{[citation needed]} The range of my interests is probably not much different from other geeks; they include computer science, particularly programming languages, the interpretation of them and designing (not implementing) operating system concepts, theoretical mathematics, especially set and category theories, TV cartoons, Japanese animations and manga such as the Simpsons, the Ghost in the Shell and Love Hina. I read, among Japanese newspapers and magazines, International Herald Tribune and The Economist. My favorite podcast^[1] is In Our Time, a discussion program. I switched from ThinkPad to iBook G3 in early 2003 and bought a new G4 iBook in March 2005. To read Kant or, say, just to look smart, I am studying German using the book in Wikibooks, with a hope that I will be able to provide some valuable learning experience afterward. I'm a reader of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost.

To do

This list is used by me but you may add one if you really want to.

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn20030503a1.htm
Import info about Takakura family from pages Lupinoid told me:
- http://www.tanutanu.net/roots/database/t/takakura1.htm
more info about Hagi (or pics)
could you please add more info about Itsuki, Kumamoto; is it notable or to delete? There seems to be no entry in Japanese wikipedia? Create a page there??? Mozzerati
dump GPL'd textbook about category theory
Clean up Joi Ito article. ;-P --Joi 13:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- In particular, add "he is best known for ..." in the 1st paragraph. -- Taku 14:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Correct Referential transparency -- Taku 04:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Start Historical Japanese name, Governors of Japan
Rework on History of calculus (I wish). The current article (as of Nov. 07) doesn't mention many key facts; e.g., difference between derivatives, differentials, Cauchy's contribution to the rigor formulation of differential calculus.
Eliminate duplication in Fujiwara family
Write about finalization issue at Object lifetime using [2]
Mention NewGlobalRef at Java Native Interface (or maybe completely rewrite it by translating corresponding articles in other languages.)
Reorganize Optimization (computer science)
Write School Education Law, a very important topic
Create Lie algebra action and special linear Lie algebra. The redirection is an option.

Links

Scripts

perl -e 'for(0..999) {my $text = `curl -L "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random"`; $count++ if $text =~ /

/;} print $count/1000;'

This is from [3]. -- Taku 14:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

In case you are curious, I am using this Ruby script /ja-politician.rb to create a bunch of stubs of Japanese politicians. -- Taku 07:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

/load_png.c (the insertion of this code example to libpng was objected by another editor.) -- Taku (talk) 12:03, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Quotes

Most potential wikipedians "wash out" in a month. The rest get "killed in action" within a year. And the majority of the rest are quite happy to take an "honorable discharge" after a few "tours of duty". This is gruelling, stressful stuff. We don't have to run through the jungle, we have to "think" through it, which is a different but equally challenging task.^[1]

Private sandboxes

In addition to this one, I maintain few other private sandboxes: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Please do not edit them.

{\mathcal {ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}}

{\mathfrak {ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}}

{\mathfrak {abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}}
