I was so glad to hear Valve started a Wiki! They're really cool.
<div align="center">[[File:Andrewneo logo.png]]</div>
I hope they get it listed in the Wikimedia project [[MetaWikiPedia:Interwiki|Interwiki]] database.

I created a Mycroft search plugin for the wiki which can be found [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=valve&submitform=Find here].
Cleaning this up cause it's always getting out of date. Hi, I worked like crazy with tons of other awesome people to help get the VDC Wiki off the ground over ten years ago.

== About Me ==
I'm primarily a programmer, and prefer PHP as my favorite language. I know C++ (and thus attempt and fail horribly [due to my excellent procrastination skills] at making HL1 and Source mods) as well as VB.net and several others. I also know (X)HTML, CSS, and other web-standards. I am also a web-standards-nazi. [[Wikipedia:Grammar nazi|[1]]] I've been working with computers since I was 8, and love to use Wikis. Some day my personal site will be one. Some day.
 
Half-Life 2 is the best game out there, no doubt. I got up at 6am (EST) on November 16th to play HL2 before I had to go to school (I really wanted to get up at 3, especially because I couldn't sleep, but didn't want to get in trouble.) I love playing HL2:DM and I think I'm pretty good at it, and I rule at my own map.
 
I love UNIX/Linux, and am forced to have a Windows machine to play Half-Life and other games on, so it's my primary machine. I have a server that runs Gentoo, and I also enjoy FreeBSD. Open source all the way.
 
There is a word for what I [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiGnome|do]]! Whee!

== Opinionated ==
=== In-game admin plugins ===
Okay, it's nice to see Valve supporting this, but I still '''hate''' admin plugins. You never know when a server has them.. until you start waiting half an hour for fifty wav files to trickle-download that you don't even want to listen to. I suggest two things: One, put a thing in the server list telling you if there is one, as well as in the server details give you more information about it.. or two, ''not'' make you download all their files. I haaate it! >.<
