ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 30th December 2002 
My Space (my natives, my ivory, etc)
Greetings from this little corner . I would like first of all to say that I am a devoted fan of Douglas Adams and h2g2. I enjoy this space and the diverse articles and opinions to be read in the guide. I am a bit of a dilettante, and enjoy most of the things I spend time doing. I maintain a modest farm, and raise beef cattle and hay('Tis a chough, but, as [Hamlet] say[s], spacious in the possession of dirt). I have been a student, a teacher, a beekeeper, a firefighter, an editor(even a wily editor), a driver, and a shop steward. I am a Ham radio operator, a bibliophile,an avid canoeist (paddler and portager, and builder and restorer of wood-canvas classics) and a dedicated reader. I enjoy good poetry, good fiction, good music, good movies, good whisky, good company, good weather, and a nice cup of tea. I am a strong advocate of Plain Language Writing, and a tireless crusader for the preservation of the Oxford Comma. I believe that, while I may have the right to speak or print what's on my mind, I also have the responsibility to be clear, so that others do not have to wonder what I meant.
My motto is, "Be happy in your work".

JOURNAL

This is where any Journal Entries would appear, if this Researcher had made any. Unfortunately they haven't managed to write anything, which is a shame because their Journal is where they could tell everyone what they've been up to. Is your Journal empty too? If so, this is how it'll appear to other Researchers who visit your Personal Space.
