About SimonNZG
I'm a retired Radio Regulator and Chartered IT Professional. I manage a bit of the background stuff here as well as trawl around the 'en' pages looking for things that need fixing.
Editing Experience
I used to write manuals and documentation in Word (properly, with styles), XML, Mediawiki and Sphinx (reStructuredText) format. These days, I tend to concentrate on ReST.
Other Experience
I have experience of HTML: my first web site was a small company Intranet in about 1994 on an ancient HP1000 mini computer. I got used to writing documentation in HTML and didn't really do much Javascript or anything fancy, although I happily took up CSS as soon as it became available.
First Distro
First Linux: Slackware. On floppies. 1994/5. Then Red Hat, then Mandrake, then Mandriva, then Ubuntu (server for work). First anything? RSTS/E on a PDP11/70 back in the late 1970s.
Hobbies
I run a smallholding (a small farm) and occasionally radio amateur, which is where the "nzg" comes into my ID. (Radio Amateurs are known by their first name and part of their callsign, so that becomes "Simon 'NZG").
