User:Veratien

I no longer use this account, and Wikipedia refuse to re-name it, so I can now be found at User:Syniq.

Splurge
My name is Ben, I'm gay, and I'm a geek. :) I play the Piano, Flute, Highland pipes, Clarinet, Oboe and Shakuhachi, and I habitually compose music whenever I'm bored.  I am a programmer by trade, but hope to break into the music industry in the near future.

I am often found in #wikipedia and #cvn-wp-en on irc.freenode.net chatting away, and smacking vandals with a clue stick. I fix other people's dodgy Open Source Software in my spare time. ;)

Ik ben het Nederlands leren. :)

Funny things I've found on and about Wikipedia
From Homosexuality (talk):
 * Have we no article on the island called Lesbos? &#37329; (Kim)

From the Wikipedia IRC channel:

Lesbian literature is the literature written in Lesbian language.

"Lesbian language is an ancient Greek dialect that belongs to the Aeolic group of the Central Greek languages spoken in the island of Lesbos and other nearby islands."
