Hi Tess! Nice to see you here. Welcome to Wikipedia! --LMS

Hi Larry. Thanks! Happy to be here.

Tess officially rocks by the way. -H

Begorra Tess !! Sorry to see an alterate future. Bono anyone ?

Tess, do you think it would be possible to integrate your TeX hack with the wiki code so that one could type $int_0^x t^2 dt$ and get an integral right away, in png produced by TeX? --AxelBoldt


 * Possible? Yes. Going to happen? No. There are just way too many security issues that arise when we let the wiki software evaluate arbitrary code.


 * With "arbitrary code" you mean "arbitrary (La)TeX" code? If so, are there really any dangerous TeX commands? Can you access the file system from withing TeX ? --AxelBoldt


 * Yes, yes, and yes.


 * Ok, I wasn't aware of that. openout seems to be the problem. I just found a discussion of the very issue at http://math.albany.edu:8800/hm/emj/1995/msg00125.html. But I wonder if running the TeX interpreter under some nobody user in a tmp directory, using chroot(1) so that it can't see anything outside the sandbox, wouldn't solve the problem. Or can you also execute programs from within TeX, or access the net? --AxelBoldt

Hi there, we're planning a Boston meetup on Nov 20 or 21. Leave a note on that page if you think you could make it. :)  +sj +  01:55, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

All over the web
I rarely check to see who's subscribed to my blog on Bloglines, but I happened to take a look today. What do you know, you've listed me as a Designer, hehe - I'd probably call myself a "standards supporter", if I could categorize my site any way I wanted.

I assume you found me through some Eventful comment I made since I've been looking for more reviews of your new site.

Anyway, even though you're not on Wikipedia as often as Flickr, LiveJournal, and del.icio.us, I thought you might enjoy a new Talk entry here. Best of luck on Eventful; it looks like it'll be a great service! Now if I can just integrate all of these folksonomy tools into my beta redesign, I'd be a happy man! --J.

Jimbo Wales to Attend San Diego Meetup on October 18 2005
Hello, Jimbo Wales will be in San Diego to attend OOPSLA and has agreed to come by and visit with the San Diego wikipedians. If you are interested, you will find more info on my talk page. Johntex\talk 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hello Tess, I'm glad you plan to come to the meetup. I've posted info at the Village Signpost, on the Meetup page, and on the San Diego page.  I am currently pasting a notice on every user page listed at "Category:Wikipedians in Southern California".  It is slow going.  If you know anyone in SoCal, or if you would like to take the time to paste notices on people's pages, or if you can think of anywhere else the invite should be posted, please spread the word! Thanks! Johntex\talk 01:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I invited all the "Category:Wikipedians in Southern California" though the letter "L", plus a few random people I'd encountered elsewhere. I'll resume the invitations tomorrow. Johntex\talk 02:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Details on the Meetup
I went to the Town and Country area last night to check out restaurants. I've eaten at the restaurants in Town and Country and they weren't that great, ao I wanted to find us somewhere nearby. There is a nice but expensive steak house down the street, but I don't know what everyone's budget is. I picked this place, I hope it is OK with everyone:

See you there! Johntex\talk 01:31, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 7:00pm Tuesday October 18th
 * 24-Hour Valley Kitchen Family Restaurant
 * 875 Hotel Circle South, Mission Valley, 619-819-1017 or 619-298-8282.
 * It is right across Highway 8 from the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center
 * It is very casual and comes highly recommended by the hotel desk. Entrees are $8-$15.  They have a wide menu: They have breakfast all-days, salads, burgers, steaks, echilladas, pies, that sort of place.

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 23:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron


I notice that you are part of Category:Inclusionist_Wikipedians. I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever. I think you will find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.

History of Wikipedia
Hi, quick question about the history of non-English Wikipedia. What prompted you to make this edit. I'm from id.wp. Does that edit means id.wikipedia.com was already existed on 14 November 2001? Bennylin (talk) 13:26, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Your user page
Hi Tess, I've just imported some old edits to your user page from the Nostalgia Wikipedia, a copy of the Wikipedia database from 20 December 2001. The history may contain some gaps, but at least it's more complete than it used to be. Hope you don't mind. Graham 87 01:06, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * And I've imported some even older history from the title the Nostalgia Wikipedia. Graham 87 01:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
