about us > staff > shad

"I spend most of my spare time in an infinite loop of "break my computer" >> "learn to fix it". When I'm not playing with my own computers, I have a pretty good time helping other people fix or update their own computers. My other hobbies include reading (about computers), writing (about computers), and arithmetic (on computers). I enjoy beta testing, and long walks on the wikipedia site."
