Duae Quartunciae is actually the name of my blog, and so people who want to learn more about me can use that as a start for searching. I joined to fix up a problem in an article I saw on wikipedia. I am a long time and very satisfied reader of Wikipedia.

Since I have joined, however, I've become better aware of the nature of the beast. The encyclopedia presents itself to most readers as a general information resource; but just below the surface there is continuous froth and bubble and turbulence, with lots of personal dynamic and conflict and collaboration. The emergent result is not stable or reliable, though it is undoubtedly fascinating and useful. Here be dragons — wise and ancient, also inscrutable, capricious, dangerous.
I currently live in Australia. I have a long time interest in science and mathematics. I have a BSc(Hons) (Melbourne, 1980) and a PhD in formal logic and automata theory (Monash, 1990); but in the topics I pursue in my own time I am basically an amateur. I have a long history of involvement with the talk.origins Usenet group, and the talkorigins website. I am not active there at present. In recent years I have been active on a couple of web forums, and I have just recently started a blog, though it is a bit inactive at present. I have an interest in astronomy and cosmology, and a bit of amateur background in physics.
