View source for User:GregRobson

My name (as the username hints) is Greg Robson. I come from the [[United Kingdom|UK]] and have interests in many areas. If you look at what I have done you will have a good idea of of my geographic/subject/hobby specialisations. I like doing grunt work and believe that if people spent 80% of their time working on maintenance then we would keep on top of errors and still grow rapidly.

On [[12 July]] [[2005]] I graduated with a 2.2 in [[Computer Science]] from the [[University of Birmingham]].

My first edit was on [[26 May]] [[2003]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mike_Oldfield&diff=prev&oldid=962444 This is the edit] &ndash; it was the beginning of an addiction! You can [http://kohl.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=GregRobson&dbname=enwiki see my post totals] thanks to Kate's Tools.

On [[21 July]] [[2005]] I was granted SysOp rights here after a week-long vote. This means I have a little more power and responsibility.
