History
[edit]- 2003-01-23
- Saw mention of the Wikipedia on Slashdot.
- 2003-01-23
- Went to www.wiki.x.io and read approximately 170 articles in areas such as Information theory, Graph theory, Knot theory, Game theory, Chaos theory, Computational complexity theory, Computability theory (it occurs to me that "theory" must be my word-of-the-day), the Wannsee conference, New Zealand, Copyright, Anti-psychiatry, Wikipedia FAQ...
- 2003-01-23
- Attempted editing the Taylor series article, to replace equations with TeX.
- 2003-01-23
- Created a Wikipedia account.
- 2003-01-23
- Actually saved changes from my edit to the Taylor series article.
- 2003-01-23
- Began this history.
- 2003-01-23
- Created the MIX article, and added to The Art of Computer Programming.
- 2003-01-24
- An informal survey of 100 random pages.
- 2003-02-21
- Revisited this history. I have continued TeXifying equations on Wikipedia, which has often resulted in faulty equations. I will try harder.
- 2003-12-18
- After a long break (my excuse is university) with only sporadic editing, I finally got round to adding a worked example of Markov chains.
- 2003-12-18

- 2004-01-26
- Repeated the survey of 100 random pages.
- 2012-01-23
- Realise it's been nine years since I joined, and more than eight since I contributed anything substantial! But I've definitely supported Wikipedia by heavy use of it.
