Admin

User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report I am an admin a legacy admin on en. You can look me up on Wikipedia:List_of_administrators. You can also view the log of my administrative actions.

I'm also a (non-legacy) checkuser. You can look me up on some nifty special page that does some magic that I don't understand. Most of you can not view the log of my checkuser actions. Those of you who can know who you are. If you suspect socking, please file an SPI report rather than reporting on my talk page. My involvement in SPI wanes and waxes, so even if it's a case I've worked before, I may not be the best person to deal with the sock du jour.

I am serving on the Ombuds commission for the Feb 2024 – Jan 2026 term.

Contacting me

• The best way is to leave a message on my talk page or just ping me. You can also send me email, but I much prefer on-wiki communication; I may or may not respond to email, and certainly don't promise I'll keep anything you send me confidential.

• I exist on IRC as roy649 on Libera Chat, but I often don't pay attention to that.
• I also exist on Discord as Roy649#7240, but often don't pay attention to that either.

Alternate accounts

I am a member of Harlem Yacht Club. I am not an employee or otherwise compensated by the club. I have, however, created an alternate account, User:RoySmith-HYC. Should I decide to do any editing of material related to the club, I will use that account to emphasize the COI relationship.

I also have created User:RoySmith-Mobile. I use this on mobile devices and other insecure locations, where I don't want to login using my admin credentials.

User:RoySmith-testing is me as well. It's for testing stuff. And User:RoySmith-RenameTest1. Not to mention the infamous User:RoySmith-YetAnotherSockForTesting.

I also run User:DYK-Tools-Bot.

Not advertising???

A random assortment of amusing quotes on the topic of WP:G11

• We aren't trying to advertise but rather provide a description of our community.
• not meant at all for advertising purposes, more so fans can search and find out a little bit more about ourselves.
• I tried to make this page so it's not a advertisement. I just want to make it for my company.

Geekyness

After a lifetime of using computers in all sorts of useful ways, I finally got around to figuring out how to customize my shell prompt today. I ended up with

\[\033[1;31m\]\u\[\033[00m@\[\033[1;34m\]\h\[\033[00m\] [\[\033[1;35m\]\W\[\033[00m]

whis is both wonderful and frightening, and a little bit sad.

Spin

Many years ago, I took physics in high school. I was good at it. Then I went on to college and took another three semesters of physics. Rotational mechanics. Electromagnetism. Optics. Relativity. I was good at that too. In the decades since that, I've enjoyed a vague sense of inner satisfaction about the fact that I understood how the universe worked. I could look at a computer and see all the way down to the P-N junctions doing their magic (even if it's really all MOSFETs these days). It's only in the past year or so that I've dived back into the subject, mostly from watching YouTube videos about quantum mechanics. The MIT Open Courseware stuff is great. I now understand that I don't actually understand how the universe works at all. But I'm getting there. Although I do wish I had paid more attention in my Differential Equations and Linear Algebra classes.
