[edit] Playing with EasyTimelines

There's little to say about myself with regards to Wikimedia; some personal information is on my personal website, though, for the curious, and the beginnings of a list of cultural things I've seen. If you want to contact me off-wiki at james@jdforrester.org, or via the built-in emailing page; I also hang around on IRC a great deal (or, rather, my computer does - I'm often away). You can also leave a message on my talk page

Please, feel free to edit my page. This is a wiki, after all. and anyway, I can always revert you ;-).
