User:Pakaran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

My name is Nathan, and I just graduated (May) from SUNY Buffalo, currently looking for jobs and trying to help with maintenance tasks and vandal-fighting here on WP. I majored in computer science, and am looking for sysadmin, Java/C++/C programming, or tech support positions. I would like to attend grad school and eventually do academic research around algorithm analysis (matrix multiplication, possibly). I am applying to start my MS in the fall of this year, having found significant inspiration in Objectivist philosophy, which I ironically discovered when User:Xed posted a rant about it on Jimbo's talk page. I am volunteering with the Greece, New York school district and working part-time for a small computer repair business.

Statement of POVs, intrinsic biases and self-descriptions:

• Atheist
• Aspie and proud of it
• straight with some Bisexual leanings. I don't personally like the term "bicurious."
• Depressed for several years now, but getting better every week now
• not a registed Democrat, but agree with them on many issues
• Libertarian to some extent, but I support taxation
• Transhumanist (to some extent Singularitarian")
• Vegetarian, but not devout

Strongly opposed to:

• the vast majority of alternative medicine, especially when used for conditions which are not self-limiting
• Communism which I feel has been experimentally shown not to work
• Cults and cult-like groups
• most Electronic voting as presently conducted in the US
• Edit warring over trivialities.
• Perpetual motion, also including "free energy" or "Casimir" devices

I am a sysop. I firmly believe that sysops should use our abilities only as servants of the community.

If you disagree with any of my actions, please discuss it on my talk page, or email me using the "email this user" option below; I try to check my email every 12 hours around the clock.

Stuff that I'm proud of:

I was probably one of about five sysops without one of these sections, so these are articles that I've improved and am, well, proud of my contributions to (in most if not all cases I didn't start these).

• Ackermann function (created table, made analogies, translated some content to Spanish)
