User:Arch dude

Hi there. I am also Arch dude at Wikipedia.

I am currently casually exploring Wikiversity. I created an account here after making three edits in the first ten minutes of exploration. I am a stage 5 Wikipediholic and a simply cannot continue to let my edits be attributed to an IP instead of running up my edit count. My initial edits will probably continue to focus on the newbie experience at Wikiversity.

I have just started learning how to do FPGA programming as a hobby. I intend to see if there is a match between this project and Wikiversity.

I also have a current "research project" at Wikipedia. Until just now, I did not realize that this is an ideal Wikiversity project. The goal of the project is to implement a Firefox addon to semi-automate linkage from Wikipedia to Worldcat. Please see Arch dude/worldcat. I always felt uneasy about this page at wikipedia: it is related to wikipedia, but it is a log of a research project in violation of the original research proscription. I will move the project here. It is trade-school research, not PhD research, but this is more consistent with Wikiversity than it is with Wikipedia. I really need to learn from others, and I can perhaps also teach others based on my "research" into the world of Firefox addons.
