[edit] Ian's Stuff
Hi. I've been hanging around here since about October 2003, with my first edit being this [1] and a bit on Michael Jeffery. Most of my editing to date has been related to Australia and cricket, but my interests are fairly diverse and you could see my name against almost any article. I'm also interested in history and information technology subjects.
In the Wikiholic test I scored 96 which surprised me because I thought I had it bad. Some of you others out there must have big problems! (was previously 162 but since then I've had a hard look at myself).
By the way, my name is an anagram of "Barn Wino". My full name converts to "Barrow Inventor". I don't know what all this means.

[edit] Picture Of The Day

The Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that hunts by speed rather than by stealth or pack tactics. It is the fastest of all land animals and can reach speeds of up to 70 mph (120 km/h) in short bursts up to 500 yards (500 m). The cheetah is well known for its amazing acceleration (0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds which is faster than the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, the Lamborghini Murciélago and the F/A-18 Hornet).
