I'm Australian & human.  Although I did read Phillip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and if pressed I'd have to concede that none of us can say for sure we're not replicants.  I have 3 kids, and I'm not great at remembering childrens' stories, so I have been known to tell my 7-year-old the story of Bladerunner in the car.  And I actually put that question to her, about whether she could be sure that she's not a replicant, and that horrified my friends at work.  

I code in Ruby sometimes, speak Spanish sometimes.  I really like Directed Acyclic Graphs because they're so much more natural than trees... inasmuch as anything can be more natural than a tree.  Anyway, DAG's are a very useful data structure and I like the idea of a Wiki which can be structured as a DAG.  

One day if I get good at this I'd like to contribute to the documentation.  I'm fumbling around at the moment trying to make my wiki work.  I already raised a ticket and answered it in one fell swoop, to help others avoid getting stuck over the load libraries path for mysql in a MacOS setting.

 Hmmm, I wonder if Phillip K Dick is with one 'l' or two?
