            Hey, welcome back -- haven't seen you round for a while.

             I just wanted to thank you for all the contributions about Perth, especially the public transit stuff.  You showed up on my "most active users" report this week because of it all :)

             I'd like to make you a "featured contributor" on our homepage, but first I need you to add an image to your user profile.  Do you reckon you could do that and then ping me, and I'll do the "featured contributor" thing.

             Thanks again!

             K.

              Is the image I've got now OK?

              I come back from time to time - I use a separate browser profile due to the heavy use of JavaScript which makes the entire browser slow down after a while. Firefox 3 is somewhat better, but still succumbs eventually. There's also the way Freebase is a horrible timesink (ooh, I can fill out that topic, and that one, which leads to that one), and the nagging feeling I'm just copying data from Wikipedia infoboxes and should be automating it. OTOH it is highly enjoyable reading about random things (like Fred T. Perris) and learning more about the world, which creating namesake links is particularly good at doing.

              Yeah, it's dangerous that way ;) I found the namesake thing pretty cool too. I got from Roald Dahl, to Roald Amundsen, to the Amundsen Sea, and so on. I'll make you "featured" tomorrow -- I don't have the necessary bookmark here at home.
