Rursus sum

Rursus Siderespector am Tomas Sören Kindahl, Sternahwerfilaʀ (ᛊᛏᛖᚱᚿᚨᚺᚹᛖᚱᚠᛁᛚᚨᛉ), a crazed comptecher/programmer who peek into Life (palaeos/tolweb/mikko's phylogeny), Universe (wikipedia/nasa.gov/esa.int) and Everything (the rest). The answer is not 42. I will discuss the answer on email if you wish, but otherwise I refer to Wikipedia "Life", for a proper discussion ground about the Meaning of Life Problem.

Time Zone

I reside at MET (GMT+1), so that my noon is at 11⁰⁰ GMT in the winter, and at 10⁰⁰ GMT in the summer. Now I may be active between 8⁰⁰-22⁰⁰ GMT, but when matters resolve the window will be 16⁰⁰-22⁰⁰ GMT. Geographically I'm in Linköping, Östergötland, Sweden - about 250 km south west from Stockholm.

I did

1. Implement the timescale color templates, and applied them to the geological timescale templates. Ready. rursus 11:59, 10 November 2006 (PST)

2. Insert the timescale color templates at the Time node. rursus 16:05, 10 November 2006 (PST)

3. Transfer Cenozoic from palaeos.com to here. rursus 16:05, 10 November 2006 (PST)

Creationists?

This user belongs to ECoCT (the Evil Conspiracy of Christian Tyrannosauruses rexes from long before 6000 BC)

Giv'em to me, and I'll bang the Bible into their heads, since they've not read it enough, obviously. Evolution are the HOLY programmer fingers of GOD - by denying evolution they deny the fingers of GOD!!

About those "christian" truth violators, read a very short opinion here!

Why I'm here

My jump into palaeos.org is motivated by thinking:

• palaeos.com is hard to handle by a few maintainers, a whole community is needed,
• wikipedia should remain an ordinary encyclopedia, readable for everyone, palaeos.org should be a similar but (extremely) detailed scientific source suitable for precollecting information like palaeos.com of ole times. Information shall gush!!
• generally I'm icsjdifaisdfiausidfuiuasdif:ing around randomly dizzily, whithout knowing my own goal - but now I know it: I'll study how to make a real efficient Wiki Engine.

Netizens are amoeboid electrozoa slippering around the globe

I exist as other incarnations, at other XYZ-coordinates too:

tomas.kindahl AT comhem.se

web.comhem.se/~u75503063, in Swedish only (sob)!

rursus.se - nothing of importance here yet!

Wikipedia User Rursus - here I'm making laborations about how to design templates to fit the Palaeos.org needs.

Some Plans

My near time plan of what to do here involves:

• writing some articles on the Hadean - the borderland between geology and solar system astronomy,
• hacking templates to make Palaeos.org easy to edit and maintain:

• color codings for time intervals, - DONE
• rewrite colors according to CCGM/ICS time colors - DONE
• taxonomic hierarchy templates to make it easy to draw a taxon tree, - ongoing

• since I'm a computer nërd in ordinary life, I like numbers - therefore I'll participate in maintaining the time intervals to be up-to-date and consistent.
• port as much information as possible from palaeos.com to palaeos.org, and niceify the contents (not that there's anything wrong with palaeos.com - it's just not wiki-adapted),
• maybe try attract some more helpers to this project...
• mess around and repair my own errors...
• more...
