Revision 341021 of "User:Pakaran" on enwiki

[[Image:Wikistress2.png|right]] My name is Nathan, and I just graduated (May) from SUNY Buffalo, currently looking for jobs and trying to help with maintenance tasks and vandal-fighting here on WP.  I majored in [[computer science]], and am looking for sysadmin, Java/C++/C programming, or tech support positions.  I would like to attend grad school and eventually do academic research around algorithm analysis (matrix multiplication, possibly).  I am applying to start my MS in the fall of this year, having found significant inspiration in [[Objectivist philosophy]], which I ironically discovered when [[User:Xed]] posted a rant about it on Jimbo's talk page.  I am volunteering with the [[Greece (town), New York|Greece, New York]] school district and working part-time for a small computer repair business.  

Statement of POVs, intrinsic biases and self-descriptions:

*'''[[Atheism|Atheist]]'''
*'''[[Asperger's Syndrome|Aspie]]''' and proud of it
*straight with some '''[[Bisexuality|Bisexual]]''' leanings.  I don't personally like the term "bicurious."
*'''[[Clinical depression|Depressed]]''' for several years now, but getting better every week now
*not a registed [[United States Democratic Party|'''Democrat''']], but agree with them on many issues
*'''[[Libertarian]]''' to some extent, but I support taxation
*'''[[Transhumanism|Transhumanist]]''' (to some extent [[technological singularity|'''Singularitarian"''']])
*'''[[Vegetarian]]''', but not devout

Strongly opposed to:

*the vast majority of [[alternative medicine]], especially when used for conditions which are not self-limiting
*'''[[Communism]]''' which I feel has been experimentally shown not to work
*'''[[Cult]]s''' and cult-like groups
*most '''[[Electronic voting]]''' as presently conducted in the US
*'''[[Edit war]]ring''' over trivialities.  
*[[Perpetual motion]], also including "free energy" or "[[Casimir effect|Casimir]]" devices

I am a [[Wikipedia:Administrators|sysop]].  I firmly believe that sysops should use our abilities only as servants of the community.  

If you disagree with any of my actions, please discuss it on my talk page, or email me using the "email this user" option below; I try to check my email every 12 hours around the clock.  

Stuff that I'm proud of:

I was probably one of about five sysops ''without'' one of these sections, so these are articles that I've improved and am, well, proud of my contributions to (in most if not all cases I didn't start these).

*[[Ackermann function]] (created table, made analogies, translated some content to Spanish)
