Finally got to 1000 edits!!

I haven't been very involved as I've been too busy working for Guide Dogs Tasmania and starting my own business called Tasmanian Living Technology which specialises in adaptive technology.

Articles I've started - Alexander Pearce, William Lanne, Matthew Brady (bushranger), Mannalargenna, Fanny Cochrane Smith.

[edit] About Me

My real name is Wayne McLean and I was born in Launceston, Tasmania, lived in London, England for six years, and now I'm back in Tasmania.

I've loved encyclopedias ever since I was a kid, so I've become quite hooked in the short time I've been exploring this site. It's great I can make contributions to articles about George Augustus Robinson or Lake Pedder - topics that would not normally be included in you average paper reference book.

I'm a keen photographer and owner of the excellent Nikon D100. It's great to be able to put some of my photos of things like the Tasmanian Devil or Jerusalem to great use.

My former job was as a Web Developer/Programmer Analyst with a large US investment banking firm. I specialized in building web applications with ASP, Microsoft SQL Server, JavaScript, CSS and XHTML.

My latest skill set mission is php, mysql, apache, debian and general unix stuff. I have become a switcher in the last 12 months, and now own a mac mini and PowerBook G4.
