About Me

Just a ronin with an interest in several projects on the wiki. At the moment I'm closely following OreImo (all caught up) while casually working my way through reading ToAru Index (stalled at v15). Outside of Baka, I'm also reading YP's English translation of Spice and Wolf, and own the JP LNs, although I can't actually read JP well enough to get through them yet. It's sort of my fallback if YP for some strange reason decides that S&W isn't worth finishing.

(American) English is my native language, and I can read, write, and speak very minimal JP and Mandarin/Simplified CN. I wouldn't count on my Japanese or Mandarin skills for anything major, though.

I might make occasional minor edits here and there, but for anything major I'll do my best to contact someone relevant before committing anything. Feel free to drop a line on my talk page if anything comes up. I'm new to wiki editing, so I don't doubt it could be a rough start.

In any case, I'm in your care! -bows head slightly-

Status

Trying to help out a bit with the tail end of OreImo v11, and possibly v12. Having said that, I seem to be spending more time talking about editing than actually editing. ... Well, we'll see.

I'm usually active in spurts, and my "availability", such as it is, is intermittent. Especially around/nearing PSO2 patch days (やぁぁ、TACOs won't do themselves... bleh) and release dates/content updates of the occasional major gaming (damn fungi!) or indie title (not starving is the easy part), air dates of certain series (once you've been burned, you're almost like a dog drenched in purple goo waiting at the door for the little sister who couldn't poss... eh, nevermind), et cetera, I drop off grid for a little while. Just a few competing interests for my "spare time", so to speak.

While I do my best to do a little here and there, I usually try to update in batches, and if I don't feel like I've accumulated enough to warrant refreshing the change history, I'll avoid committing anything. Similarly, if I feel like there are still numerous issues I'm still not satisfied with, I prefer to wait until I've addressed them in some way or other before committing.

If you've ever used the Android app and ended up tracking down the changelog to figure out what's new, perhaps you can understand where I'm coming from with that. XD

If you prefer to contact me via email, I can be reached at (at)aim.com(moore.desu) (note the period in the middle). (Depending on the browser, segments may appear side by side rather than stacked.)

The account is (currently) exclusively for BT, but having relevant subjects wouldn't hurt.
