Tim Pierce is a Boston-area software engineer and recovering Usenetter.
In a former life I was moderately well known for kibitzing on Usenet software , being a cranky contrarian and reading bad pornography .
I am still not, when last I checked, an L.A. session guitarist or a basketball player for the Arizona State Sun Devils.
To date I am still unimpressed with the Arctic Monkeys.
WikiFriends include Bcordes, Shevett, Agaran, CruiserBob, Jrlevine, Vzafrin, Moominmolly and Joelfurr. Jay and I used to have a mighty fine feud going on, but it turns out he's really a pretty cool guy.
My contributions to Wikipedia include:
- I negotiated a substantial rewrite of the Jewish Defense League article during a December 2005 revert war that both parties accepted.
- PhotoCatBot, a bot that categorizes generic photo requests and promotes easier navigation of Category:Wikipedia requested photographs and subcategories.
- Recently I've become enthusiastic about contributing photographs to Wikipedia, mostly by scouring articles under Category:Wikipedia requested photographs for practical contributions I can make. Articles I have contributed images to include:
