 the revolution will not be televised DO'Neil on other Wikis: wikiquote | en wiktionary | wikibooks "Life is short. Live it up!" -Nikita Khrushchev Hello! I'm a Sydneysider, that is to say, I was born and live in Sydney, Australia, in the great state of New South Wales. I'm proud to have been a member of the wonderous website since February 27, 2004.
Interests and hobbiesMy interests include history (primarily the Age of Discovery, the Napoleonic Wars, the British Empire the Second World War and the Cold War, ornithology (even before I could read I'd spend hours looking at the pictures in my father's birdwatching guide) and world music, especially that of Latin America and the Caribbean, among a myriad of other things. The cultures of Latin America and those of the Slavic peoples also fascinate me. The former so much so that I've had to make a seperate bragsheet (see below) about my Latin American contributions to prevent them clogging up my userpage! I have many actual hobbies, such as playing the steel-stringed acoustic guitar, kayaking, the collecting of stamps and of foreign currency. I am a Christian, more specifically, an Anglican, and I am of Irish descent. I would describe myself as a leftist. I have a certain obsession with diacritic marks. I simply cannot pass by "Vasco Nunez de Balboa", "Karl Doenitz" or "coup d'etat" without clicking on Edit This Page and replacing them with "Vasco Núñez de Balboa", "Karl Dönitz" and "coup d'état". I made my 1000th edit on May 15, 2004. In October 23 (which is, curiously, my birthday!) I added several new events, such as the Red Army entering Hungary, the first use of aircraft in war in the Italo-Turkish War, and an attempted coup on the part of one of Napoleon Bonaparte's lieutenants. I'm a part of the "mad little ship". It's 05:55 on Sunday, May 15, 2005. Well, not here in Sydney, but it's that time in cities like Warsaw, Paris, Berlin, Sarajevo and Luanda. My Wikipedia ideology is one of inclusionism and eventualism. Articles Unrelated to Latin America That I've Significantly Contributed to, Started or Rewritten Include...Geography
