Wikipedia
Internet has made knowledge like encyclopedias more accessible. I am contributing content to WikiPedia.

Computer Languages
The use of programming languages is volatile. Cobol, Fortran, C, C++ have ruled the world, Now Java is hot. The advantage of Java is the fact it is more than a programming language. But for how long will this head start last? What seems to be stable is the usage of object-oriented technology.

Projects
The following has meaning to me for recording the projects at Wikipedia.
 * Project Militairy History Rules, Guidelines
 * Wikipedia Userboxes
