Periodically Updated Thought

Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson. - Dune, Frank Herbert

Experience is an excellent teacher, and school is always in session (for everybody).

Battestarwiki Projects

TOS Improvement Project

Priorities (in no particular order):

• TOS Character histories
  • All but done with these.

• Episode Guides
  • Basically done with the summaries, now we need to fill in questions, analysis, quotes, and notes.

Island of Misfit Images

I'd encourage everybody to check out the Island of Misfit Images, the home of some images that have been uploaded but not linked to. Hopefully you can either help them find a good home, or help identify ones that need to be deleted.

Podcast Transcripts

I finally caved and added this to my list. I always felt that my transcription was too slow, and preferred verifying, but I've been doing some transcription lately.

Development Pages

Experimental pages or pages in development that aren't ready for the main namespaces (yet).

• User:Steelviper/MemoryAlpha - a main page prototype based on MemoryAlpha's design
• User:Steelviper/Ads - some "advertising" ideas for Battlestar Wiki

Future Projects

• Battlestar Wiki:Categories - I'd like to obsolete the Character template with really good categories.

• TOS nitpicks - a neat link I found looking for Red Squadron info.

Origin of Nickname

"A truly fearsome beast, the great viper of Arcadia possesses strength and tenacity unmatched by any other predator on that world. It coils around its prey in a crushing embrace, then finishes its kill with a deadly poison. The warriors of the Clan I name Steel Viper show remarkable tenacity in battle and in their service to our great mission. May they continue to serve with unshakable faith, and may their opponents learn to fear the fangs of the Steel Vipers."
-- From Birth of a New Society: The Collected Writings of Nicholas Kerensky, Strana Mechty Press, 3025

Known Aliases

I have been known to post to civfanatics.com, glocktalk.com, ar15.com, and bikeforums.net using this same handle. So if you see a Steelviper there, it's me. I also have a Steelviper account over at wikipedia now, but I've got about 5 edits.

Around here you may see me referred to as "Steel" or "SV". That's probably me too.

At GalacticaBS I'm known as "WikiViper" due to the abundance of Vipers there, and the fact that "Steel" and "SV" are both already taken.
