m unnecessary complex addition to subpages listing ;)
good grief, that's not "out of date", that's paleolithic!

''Hello.''
'(I shouldn't really do this lot 'til after my exams. Or after I get some revision done, at the very least...)''
A few months ago, I [[British university|graduated]] as a [[BSc]], with "Honours of the First Division of the Second Class" (commonly known as a 2:1 grade), in [[Artificial Intelligence|Intelligent Systems]] - a lovely mix of [[Cybernetics]], [[Computer Science]] and [[Psychology]] - at the [[University of Reading]]. Needless to say, those are my main interests, but I also tend to go round randomly tidying things up wherever I spot that they need it. I am now, theoretically at least, "job hunting" - so if you have a graduate computing career going spare, [[User_talk:IMSoP|drop me a buzz]] <tt>;-D</tt>
 
Hello. This page was so shockingly out of date that I've completely blanked it. I'm ... just zis guy, y'know?
I'm also active (or have been, and may be again) on [[h2g2]], from whence my user-name originates. Over there I have researcher number 110916, which shows how long I've been around, if you compare it with most people's (although there was a whole chunk skipped recently, so that's not so valid now). You can see my personal space at http://www.h2g2.com/U110916 (although it's not much to look at right now).

Gosh, I thought I'd long ago mentioned that "[[UTC]] (or, to be rather old-fashioned, [[GMT]]) is local time for me - so if you see my signature with some ridiculously late hour timestamped on it, it really was that time when I made it". Only now of course it's not true, because [[British Summer Time|they've fiddled about with the clocks again]]!

#Have more fun with <del>[[Twin towns]]</del><ins>[[Town twinning]] and [[List of twin towns and sister cities]]</ins> - maybe go through with a semi-bot and add links to the articles. Oh, and check the dates are consistent, too.
#*<del>Re-factor the page, and merge with [[Sister city]], creating [[Town twinning]] and [[List of twin towns and sister cities]]</del>
#The [[Wikipedia:Status of FOLDOC import|list of FOLDOC entries]] could possibly do with a semi-automated glance, too, to see which ones can be marked "no import".
