[edit] Who I am

My name is Sam, I'm British, and was born in Stafford on June 8, 1985.

I am currently studying for a BEng in Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Birmingham.

I reside with my father and sister in Birmingham, having moved here in March 2006 from Kidderminster. Now back in Kidderminster.

[edit] What I do

During my spare time (the amount of which decreases the closer I get to the summer exams) I enjoy motorbiking, computer gaming, programming (Java, C#), maintaining my personal website (which I have written in PHP) and, of course, editing Wikipedia. My website has been partly taken down in preparation for a redesign over the summer months.

The motorbike I currently own is a 2003 Yamaha YZF-R6 having previously owned a 2002 Honda NSR 125. I ride solo during term time, and with friends during the holidays when they are home from university. I have two main riding 'buddies', who currently own a 2007 Suzuki GSXR 750 and a 2006 Kawasaki ZX-6R.

As regards computer gaming, I enjoy playing UT2004 and UT3, as well as a few other games I play less regularly. Recently I've been spending quite a lot of time with the Crysis Editor, having recently completed Assassin's Creed.

Currently I'm undertaking my finals, having recently completed my final year project. The project consisted of a Client-Server system interacting with a PostgreSQL database for managing a motorcycle racing team - with the software and report both complete and submitted I just have to hope I get a good result!

[edit] On Wikipedia

My Wikipedia time is spent removing vandalism, which I am able to do thanks to the help of several users. I initially thought it would be a reward-less task, but several members of Wikipedia have already thanked me for helping out. It is enough for me, though, to know that the articles I edit will be vandalism-free for the next user. The constant input of other users helps me become more effective at this each day.

I personally have found it quite frustrating to find an article has been altered when I am researching a topic, and if I save one person that same frustration then I will be more than content.

[edit] Notices

Main interests of late are AV (as always) and Featured Picture nominations over on Wiki Commons, mainly due to my love of photography!
