I was so glad to hear Valve started a Wiki! They're really cool. I hope they get it listed in the Wikimedia project Interwiki database.
I created a Mycroft search plugin for the wiki which can be found here.
I have also created a makeshift wiki-spam detector. This is based on something that almost all spammers seem to spam the wiki with, so I hope it works/helps. It uses GreaseMonkey and can be installed from here. If people don't want to install GreaseMonkey I can convert this to a plugin of it's own.

I'm getting an XBox for Christmas and plan on messing with it to see what HL2 for the Xbox can do, like with custom maps and even mods, if at all possible. Yay for modchips!

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. [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 do! Whee!

And don't forget to spread firefox!

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! >.<

VGCats is funny. You can tell he's a HL fan (along with many other games, of course)

I really do like to have stuff to do, so here's a list if you're interested.

• Websites (HTML, PHP)
• Images (Probably not textures, more like Image:Anommat_bounce.jpg, but feel free to ask)
• Mapping (I'm not great but practice makes perfect)
• Coding ideas (I don't really know a whole lot about the SDK, I can do a little C++)
• Coding in VB.net, C#, PHP, Javascript
• Beta testing
• And more!

Mapping is fun. I've only released one map so far, it's a fast-paced Half-Life 2: Deathmatch map.
