Welcome to the homepage of Chris Watkins
a.k.a. "Singkong2005"

 scanned sketch?
|
|
|
| Languages:
English (native) Indonesian (fluent) Malaysian (conversational) Japanese & German (very basic - thanks, excuse me, delicious, mein linke Blinker ist kaput...). |
| My writing |
| Blog: Still deciding on a place... I'd like to figure out transclusion and RSS, and maybe even automatically list links to my most recent topics in a table on this page... Here's my out of date blog. |
| My recipes: Pleasure & health. |
| What I'm doing now... |
|---|
| Catching up on the talks from Wikimania. Some interesting stuff.
Currently (August 7) indulging my Wikiholism for a few days, before I get onto doing the boring stuff I need to do (taxes, passport, sorting through all my crap...) I love the way the internet facilitates collaboration, and I'm quite involved in several collaborations, as you can see in the box on the left. |
| Plans |
| Sometime in the second half of 2006 I'm heading to Asia on a one-way ticket. I'll visit and learn from development projects, gain experience and use it (perhaps) for a career, and (definitely) to share via Appropedia and Wikipedia. Partly, though, it's a lifestyle thing - I don't enjoy living in Australia, and long to get back to Indonesia, and explore other countries as well, broadening my horizons. |
To help pay my way, I have 3 options:
If and when I do English language teaching, I plan to collaborate on lesson planning, using Wikibooks, Dave's ESL Cafe, and perhaps The Teachers' Lounge and TeachForward (not running yet). |
| Contact |
| I don't put my email on here, as I want to avoid spam... likewise I don't put my chat usernames here as a whole word - you'll have to do some simple decoding...
You can contact me:
I also like IRC chat... but you'll need to contact me first to arrange a channel. I plan to spend a bit of time on the wiki-related IRC channels occasionally (e.g. #wikipedia & #wikimedia on irc.freenode.net). |
| Wikipedia - The concept inspires me. User page. I'm involved in several WikiProjects (collaborations to improve content) including: |
| Climate change Energy development |
| Learning & teaching at Wikibooks. Wikipedia user page. |
| Mainly Indonesian and English.
|
| Wiki-based communities: Wikia.com has a number of community sites. My user page has miscellaneous net-related stuff, and links to the Wikia communities I'm watching. |
| Political: Campaigns, and also the Australian Greens' wiki... still experimental. |
| I'm looking and waiting for a community recipes site - for now see my recipes and recipe links.
|
| Other exciting free sites |
| CouchSurfing - share your couch or spare bed. It can be a great experience. My username: Singkong |
| HelpX - work for accomodation. For work in Asia & developing nations, free. Most advanced nations, free reg, 10 euros/2 years to make contact with hosts. |
| OkCupid The most interesting dating site, with the most accurate matching, completely free. My username: Bayangan |
