Projects / Contributions edit

Just finished translating List of TransMilenio stations from Spanish. It could stand to be cleaned up a good deal.

Want to tie that in with Bogotá neighborhoods' translation to English. Also doing some of the roads.

This is all being done with User:Fisherjs. See all my contributions at Special:Contributions/Hwonder.

I also like to visit random pages on the Spanish wiki to see if there's a decent page on the en wiki. If not, I take a stab at translating it.

Started the 2006–2007 Colombian para-political scandal, part of the Colombia WikiProject. Assessed a ton of articles for that project and now am working to improve them, one slow bit at a time.

I know about the INA, especially about visas. That's how I spend my time.
I do a lot of web programming in PHP using mySql. I'm starting to use PHP-GTK and Ruby on Rails, as well.
I'm an avid Mac user, and have been since 1986. I have worked for an Apple consultancy.
I'm a former bus driver. I enjoy urban planning as a hobby.
I enjoy geography, mostly US States and highways, but also just knowing my way around towns and public transportation.
Latin American politics, especially related to economic, political development, and drug politics.
