User:Lisa Seelye

My name is Lisa Seelye and I'm fairly new to this aspect of Wikipedia -- being a user, I mean. Wikipedia seems to be a fairly large place and for the new user it comes across as intimidating. (I can now see why there is a welcoming comittee!)

Interests

 * Politics
 * Norwegian and foreign languages in general.
 * Linguistics and Phonetics, even though I have no formal education in the subject (yet?)
 * Grammar
 * Linux (Gentoo Linux inparticular), open source projects, and philosophy.
 * Photography, in fact the image on Church of Avaldsnes is mine, even though the content of that article isn't.
 * Audiology topics

A little about me
My political leanings are towards the socialist end of the spectrum.

I am a former developer on the Gentoo Linux project and have contributed to the Memcached (which is apparently being used here), and Distcc projects.

I currently reside in Leeds, England, United Kingdom although I am originally from Rochester, New York.

I do well enough with Norwegian, but reading the Norwegian Wiki is a chore because I have to look up a lot of the vocabulary.

My personal website is at http://lisa.thedoh.com/site/
