Bio
Been shooting since childhood. Got my first rifle (a Cooey 75) at age 8 and fell in love with the pastime. Got my first shotgun at 10 and fired it for the second time when I was 13 (some of you will get that, some won't).

	The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He who has nothing, and belongs to another, must be defended by him, and needs no arms: but he who thinks he is his own master, and has anything he may call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself and what he possesses, or else he lives precariously and at discretion. And though for a while those who have the sword in their power abstain from doing him injury; yet, by degrees, he will be awed into submission to every arbitrary command. Our ancestors, by being always armed, and frequently in action, defended themselves against the Romans, Danes and English; and maintained their liberty against encroachments of their own princes.
— Andrew Fletcher in A Discourse of Government with Relation to Militias in Political Works 6, 1749

• Category:Pages Dennis needs to get off his ass and do something with

To Do list

• Check out more about Extension:RSS Reader for possible use on Gunsopedia:Current events page.
• Come up with some damn Guidelines or something for how everything should be standardized. Too many gnomes doing to many things too many ways. Not only is it a mess, but it's going to start pissing people off soon...
• fix template:quote so quote marks are lower when {{{2}}}=true

coding and crunching

Time zones/stamps

• currently in localsets as:

$wgLocaltimezone = "America/Toronto";
$oldtz = getenv("TZ");
putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone");
# Versions before 1.7.0 used $wgLocalTZoffset as hours.
# After 1.7.0 offset as minutes
$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 60;
putenv("TZ=$oldtz");

• {{CURRENTTIME}} magic word is still showing GMT for some damn reason: 04:02
  • wft's with that?
• timestamps still showing as in EST - 1hr behind - should be in EDT
• http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Timezone

Widgets

user stuff

• more help pages
  • beef up the help pages already there
• new editor, maybe?
• think up easier category structure

Other stuff

• track down more missing parts diagrams and manuals
  • project?
• come up with some kind of 'welcome' template or something for new users.
• polish up the FAL page.
