In different contexts I am known by different names:
- Jeff Kidder has a Ph.D. in Mathematics and works on Floating Point Arithmetic validation in CPUs. My background is in dynamical systems, real analysis, knot theory, and complex systems (such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, chaos and the like).
- Jake Vortex is my on-line guise.
- Jason the Voracious is my SCA persona. Born in 1466, living in Tuscany 500 years ago.

Wiki Wish List
These are thoughts on features I wish Wikipedia supported. I've filed most of these on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php
- Support for what ought to link here
- Easy mode for batch editing instances of a link.
- E.g., if you want to change links from 1700s to 1700s. Right now you need to go to each page. Edit the page. Save the change. I'd like to bring up all articles that link to 1700s and edit them all at once, or in some batch format. Blind substitution of the links doesn't work because some of the links should be left alone.
- Easy mode for batch editing instances of a link.
- Search for links
- Right now if you see a broken link, broken, there isn't an obvious way to search for all articles that link to broken. You can click on the link, then in the edit page click cancel, then click What links here
- Be able to sort searches and What links here in some meaningful way(s)
- When last edited -- alphabetically -- length -- ...
