Hello, I'm Lucio and I study Physics at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

I usually go around Wikipedia like this: initially, I have some subject I'd like to know about and so I search it or type the URL directly to see if I'm lucky (and most times I am!). I read on a bit until some very appealing link to some other subject comes up in the middle of the article. So I click all links that seem interesting in that and subsequent articles and open them up in new tabs (using Opera web browser). With a really wide collection of pages open, I begin reading one by one, eventually stopping at some point, saving the session (another one of Opera's very neat features) and continuing later. A friend of mine, majoring in computer science, said I like to search superficially rather than deeply (he probably had trees) in his mind.

I speak portuguese (brazilian) as a mother-language, fluent english, some spanish and am learning german. French is pretty cool too, but I can only read it. :)

In wikipedia, I do minor edits most of the time. Basically I correct pages' grammar and spelling, rewrite some phrase or paragraph to provide clarity and ease of understanding, correcting links (there are TONS of links leading to the wrong place and to disambiguation pages lying around!) and adding little known or unperceived facts now and then.

I'm a lot into computer programming and computational physics, knowing Visual Basic, C, C#, ASP.NET, PHP, Sql Server, MySQL and the like. Also, I know HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, XSL and maybe other TLAs.

In science, Physics is my element. I am mostly fascinated by the people behind it all. Mr. Feynman isn't your usual fella (as stated by Stephen Hawking, he was "A physicist's physicist". Calculus is great (of course, a physicist came up with it (simultaneously with Mr. Laplace)). Carl Friedrich Gauss is unbelievably incredible also :)

I think recursion is awesome, especially recursive acronyms. My favorites are GNU and PINE.

My favorite Linux is Slackware Linux. Although I like Linux, I like to program the most using .NET =P

Oh, I also enjoy Ragnarok Online big time. I used to have a photo gallery related to the game but it's gone now =/
