Welcome to Acaides' user page. I became a Wikipedian on 19 November, 2004. I graduated from Purdue University in May 2007 with a degree in Computer Engineering.

The best, and definitely fastest, way to contact me is on AOL Instant Messenger. My username there is also Acaides. I am usually logged on 24/7. If I'm not available, I will usually have an informative away message.
Major project
I was involved in developing articles about and related to Colleges and Universities as a part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities. I was particularly active in the development of the Purdue University article.
The project, started on 10 August, 2003, the project is attempting to formulate a standard template for College and University articles on Wikipedia. The ultimate goal is to bring all articles on the subject into compliance with a single standard in order to give Wikipedia a more professional look, make cross-referencing easier, expand content of edu-stub articles, and ultimately make Wikipedia a more useful and powerful resource.
Interests
Hmm. I thought I would include a list of my interests, as it seems to be the thing to do, so here goes:
- electronics, computers, etc.
- open source software / free software, and the free software movement in general.
- the Apple Macintosh platform and associated craziness.
- Star Trek
- Philosophy
- Politics
- Music. Specifically Bluegrass music, Symphony, and Ben Folds
Articles Originated
These are the articles on Wikipedia that I have started. I monitor all of these pages in my watch list, and update or expand them as necessary.
Future Projects
There are some articles that I'd like to work on in the future if I get a chance. They are, in no particular order:
