Original intro

I used to be an insignificant disturbance on Wikipedia, looking around, touching objects and observe the feeling.

Probably this has been changed since I got involved in resurrecting Hunipedia, and fixing several Hungary related articles here and there.

A bit more

My name is

My main area is (are?)

I am an active OpenStreetMap contributor (since 2008) and community (dis)organiser. I am often involved in Wikipedia and OSM-related legal affairs. I also happen to take care of a few hundred servers, routers, and various kind of electricity-consuming stuff.

Unfortunately my available time is very limited, so having such amount of responsibility often results only fixing broken things and starting useful things, to show the way to those masters who stand on my shoulders.

In the real world I am older than 18 but not yet 99. (Considering life expectancy and caused effects of the amount of idiots on the net I may never be.)

I remember 13 digits of pi. (Some people really care about details, now, don't they? :))

Licensing and other shitty lawyer stuff

I multi-license all my article contributions, (so none of my user pages, talk pages and their subpages), as described below:

Rest in Pacem

The rest is just fluff.

I am urging to start the hu.wikipedia.org, see Meta:User:grin for further info. -- grin 09:31 4 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Yee-haw! [It works]!

I try to collect the secret page about hungarian editors.

Accents test: árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép ÁRVÍZTŰRŐ TÜKÖRFÚRÓGÉP (8859-2 or utf-8)

Thanks. I've actually been through with most of the FAQ and introductory materials (they're really verbose and take ages to read, I bet I was the first :) fortunately good organised), but it's a good advice anyway. I already met parallel editing and removing stupid change in my text, and a friendly merge of my mistakenly double submission.

I'm trying to cast life into hu.wikipedia.org but pretty hard to get a reaction from the gods it seems. grin 14:21 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)

I happen to make changes on |these articles.

I happen to work on some, too.
