Hi, I'm new here.

I have no experience working on MediaWiki software as of yet.

I joined because I am interested in working on the Extension:Quiz extension. I have pretty strong feelings about Autodidacticism and the power of the internet in reducing Information Asymmetry, which I feel has a negative impact on the ability of capitalism to "self-correct", as well as inhibiting classes of people from participating, especially people in third world countries.

I am also attempting to gain employable experience in programming. I have a long history with programming in Basic, Cobol, Pacal, Java, XML, Visual Basic, C++, C and PHP, and yet I have not yet made a serious effort to be employed as a programmer. I had been pursuing financial services careers and later addressing my lack of a degree, instead.

I am currently a full-time student at City College of San Francisco and this month I am putting my application for transfer into UC Berkeley College of Letters and Science specifically for a BA in CS. I also fancy critical theory.

This certainly seems like more information than most people put on their user page but what can I say? I am social by nature.
