Location: San Jose, CA, United States of America Email: petercorless(a-t)mac(d-o-t)com Disclsosures: In 2014-2015 I worked for Aerospike, Inc., and in 2015 founded Globalcommit.org. In the past I used to work for Cisco Systems, and founded Green Knight Publishing and Celebrate History (both presently defunct). I've done work for West End Games and Chaosium game products. I've worked at Apple (albeit for a contractor) and the old Macintosh dealer ComputerWare. I've also worked at Chase Manhattan Bank.

I took a virtual "leave of absence" 2007-2008 from Wikipedia, yet felt compelled to return to work on this global information resource in late 2008. It is very good to be back! --Petercorless (talk) 20:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
