Who is this guy anyway?
I am a software/firmware/computer engineer who has occasionally contributed to Wikipedia since early 2005. I live in
Westminster, Colorado , a suburb about 10 miles northwest of downtown
Denver . Sometimes I rewrite pages or add content, but usually it's just nitpicks or vandalism cleanups.

Ethernet .
I also fixed a broken
