<div class="usermessage">I am a very active disambiguator. I '''take no prisoners''' when disambiguating! This means that I  ''will not'' refrain from disambiguating links on user pages, user talk pages, talk pages, or archives. If you do not like the fact that I did so on your user page or talk page, feel free to change it, preferably ''not'' back to the disambiguation page again, but to what you think fits ''better''. Same for anyone else who questions my disambiguation skills in articles: If you think it could link to something better, than ''please'' by all means do so, but please by all means ''do not'' link it back to the disambiguation page, or I'll end up changing it ''again''. Any conflicts in this matter may be discussed on my talk page.</div>

== About Me ==

I am Jake. Who knew? I am commonly known online as Lancer Sykera, Lancer, or S4L.

I am a [[2005]] graduate of Cedar Crest High School. I dropped out of college after 3 semesters, and am currently working whatever job I can to get by.

I live in a quaint little place called [[Jonestown, PA|Jonestown]]. There is nothing to do here. Seriously. But it beats living in [[Lebanon, PA|Lebanon]]. Or [[Williamsport, PA|Williamsport]].

I have been involved in web development and design for 10 years now. My first site went online [[February 25]], [[1998]] (because I remember stupid things like that). For now, I've been doing it for work, though there hasn't been much to go around.

I am currently employed at [[Hersheypark]]. However, I am proud to say that I do not actually work for the park. I am employed by Get The Picture Corporation, or simply, GTP. Working for GTP, I sell ride photos in places such as Canyon River Rapids, Wildcat, Wild Mouse, and Lightning Racer.

I have done quite a bit of [[photography]] in my time. I do even more now, since I bought my new [[Canon Rebel XTi]].

== My Cats ==

[[file:Captain Morgan the kittycat.jpg|frame|none|Captain Morgan]]
Captain Morgan is half [[Maine Coon]]. He is 5 years old, and a big sleeper. I have never seen a cat sleep as much as he does. Whenever he is actually around, he always looks like just woke up. This tends to not be far from the truth. I got him from a family in Lebanon. I still remember driving home with him in the crate in the back of Kristen's old Jeep, crying the whole way. How cute! He has no front claws. His love is far reaching. I've never had such a loving kitty, and he is just absolutely amazing - I truly am lucky to have him. As soon as he is anywhere near me, his motor starts running full speed, before any contact at all. He does not hesitate to follow me all around my apartment, and even runs down the hallway with me like a dog. He is usually known as just C.Mo (pronounced SEE-mo) when spoken of.

[[file:Cappucino the kittycat.jpg|frame|none|Cappuccino]]
Cappuccino is quite the cat in his own right. He is 4 years old, and misbehaves very much, but is quite loving all the same. I especially love him because he is a lap kitty and a bed kitty. I got him from a family outside of Williamsport who could not keep him because they were moving. He has all of his claws, and can be quite playful with them, albeit painful. He has a deathly fear of crates. When I picked him up to take him to my apartment, it took 3 of us 15 minutes to get him into the carrier, even while wrapped up in a sweater. As I was driving back with him, at one point, the entire carrier flew up 6 inches into the air - I had to hold it down the rest of the way. I couldn't see what he was doing in there, as the sweater was over the carrier. However, when we arrived, a very large portion of the sweater was pulled through one of the very small holes in the door of the carrier. He is an angel when he wants to be, and a terror the rest of the time. I love him anyway. For the sake of syllable-saving, some of us just call him Chino. He doesn't answer to ''anything'', so it doesn't really matter anyway.

<!-- == Things I happen to agree with [[User:Doc_glasgow|Doc glasgow]] about ==

#Far too much mollycoddling of vandals - good editors waste too much time with warnings and short blocks. The mentality seems to be, make the good editors admins - and they can police while the idiots edit. Preventing anon page creation is a good start, I will no longer do RCP under current circumstances. 
#Ditto for trolls. Other than disputes between longstanding and useful contributors, in most of the cases taken to Arbcom Wikipedia would be best served by swift perma-bans. Fine [[WP:AGF]], but how much bad faith and disruption does someone need to exhibit before we boot them? Sure, sometimes a problem contributor makes a few good edits, but their positive contribution is far outweighed by the time we waste on them.    
#70% threshold for policy change makes for an intensely conservative community – unrealistic as the project upscales. 
#Wikipedia’s default inclusionism is a problem. Keeping all verifiable NPOV info is fair enough – but the multiplication of articles that will never be checked for veracity is a serious problem. Only articles that are of interest to a significant number of people are going to receive the scrutiny needed to identify errors and falsities. If wikipedia is going to be credible this culture needs to change – and it won’t.
#Fundamentally, wiikipedia needs to decide if it wants to be a useful and relatively reliable encyclopaedia using a wiki format, or a wiki posing as an encyclopaedia – but actually being a graffiti wall and a dump for all the world’s unverified cruft. The wiki format attracts editors - but more firmness with time wasters is needed in order to retain the good ones.
#We need to end the culture of anti-elitism. Trust people who obviously know what they are talking about - and don't count their edits to measure their worth.  

:[[WP:NOT]] ''a democracy'' = no, because if it were then the oligarchy couldn’t run it
:[[WP:NOT]] ''a bureaucracy'' = no, because rules restrict my oligarchy’s freedom to act at will
:[[WP:IAR]] = I can do as I please
:[[WP:NOT]] ''an anarchy'' = you can’t -->
