I am responsible for starting the beast you see before you now; all the contributors and visitors are responsible for the beast's development and continual growth.

When not working as a Media Supervisor at my local Best Buy, I do endeavor to get some work done not only here, but at [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia (english)]] as an administrator. My user name at Wikipedia is [[Wikipedia:User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin Jr.]].  
When not trying to write and publish my manuscripts, working for [http://www.whiteeyestudios.com White Eye Productions, Inc.] as a writer, developer, and vice president, and researching BSG on a professional basis, I use whatever "spare" time I have to improve the ''Battlestar Galactica'' fanbase's online experience by working with the official [http://www.battlestarfanclub.com Battlestar Fan Club], as well as working to oversee project development of [http://www.frakmedia.net Frak Media Productions]'s web endeavors.


While I do prefer that you just contact me on my [[User talk:Joe.Beaudoin|talk page]], I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.

As for computing, I use a custom built, AMD-64 Debian Linux machine called "Zen". ("Zen" is the name of the computer that ran the ''Liberator'' on ''[[w:Blake's 7|Blake's 7]]''.) I did have a Toshiba laptop called "Orac" (yet another ''Blake's 7'' reference), but I no longer have it as I gave the computer to my father for his real estate business. Instead, I have a PowerBook G4 -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good.

I do use Windows machines here and there due to business reasons, but nothing beats a Mac in terms of ease of use.


I constructed a computer -- calling that one "Orac" as well -- that serves as a Linux based multimedia center, with all my music and movie collections, to be loaded on three 300 GB+ Western Digital hard drives.
I also have an XBox, Playstation 2, and, yes, a Nintendo 64 (for ''Goldeneye'', otherwise I would've sold it).

Joe Who?

Joe Beaudoin Jr. is the webmaster and head honcho for the Battlestar Wiki.

I am responsible for starting the beast you see before you now; all the contributors and visitors are responsible for the beast's development and continual growth. This is very much a community-driven effort that has surpassed even my wildest expectations. With that in mind, I thank you all for your hard work and dedication! So say we all!

Joe's Biography

I hail from Vero Beach, Florida, best known to most as victim of both Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne in mid-to-late 2004.

When not trying to write and publish my manuscripts, working for White Eye Productions, Inc. as a writer, developer, and vice president, and researching BSG on a professional basis, I use whatever "spare" time I have to improve the Battlestar Galactica fanbase's online experience by working with the official Battlestar Fan Club, as well as working to oversee project development of Frak Media Productions's web endeavors.

While I do prefer that you just contact me on my talk page, I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.

As for computing, I use a custom built, AMD-64 Debian Linux machine called "Zen". ("Zen" is the name of the computer that ran the Liberator on Blake's 7.) I did have a Toshiba laptop called "Orac" (yet another Blake's 7 reference), but I no longer have it as I gave the computer to my father for his real estate business. Instead, I have a PowerBook G4 -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good, or so I hoped. I do use Windows machines here and there due to business reasons, but nothing beats a Mac in terms of ease of use.

I also have an XBox, Playstation 2, and, yes, a Nintendo 64 (for Goldeneye, otherwise I would've sold it).

P.S. Yes, you can edit my user page. I trust you. Besides, I can always undo your edits. :-)
