Well Wikians, here it is: My first post. I would like to give you the CV, but I don't have a clue yet how to do that. I would invite anyone who has some time to mentor to let me know.

That having been said, I am a semi-retired professional who is now a professional writer and full-time altruist. I am willing to donate a complete collaboration platform which I can offer from my infrastructure for use by anyone thinking it would be handy. It is an industrial-grade ECM/Collaboration platform, fully compatible with Open Office and Microsoft Office. It also has a Web development environment IDE (very nice), Activiti, and loads of other features too numerous to mention. As the founder of several commercial organizations as well as non-profits, I cam also be of great help to those needing assistance managing work, or working on things you manage.

Among my advanced degrees are Operations Research, Clinical Dynamics, Information Systems, Management, Education and to again avoid getting into my CV (a thing with a considerable thud-factor) I can sum-up by simply saying that I have an impeccable reputation and a forty year history making things and people successful. As for the pocket protector I now wear inside my jacket, I started writing machine code because there were no such things as compilers, so I produced several of those, too (some you may have or are using today). Also know networking, so if you know what the Pineapple Protocol is, you know where I started (back when IP addresses were fondly referred to as ICBM Coordinates. I also am on several Boards of Directors (including foundations) and can raise money with the best of them.  IOW, I can bring resources to bear if that is needed.

Alright, I promised myself a limit to how much I would blither, and passed that signpost a while ago. So that is as close as you'll ever find me to vanity (by any other name faux-narcissist) so if you need things done, rain made, &c. I'm your guy.

For those Internal Mediwiks, I also have amassed considerable processing capacity including but not limited to an IBM S/390 SYSPLEX, a few smaller space heaters, and enough Intel mass to easily cause deafness. So, mirrors-could-be-us, too.
