I help maintain the WikiIndex at http://wikiindex.org/ so naturally I'm interested in Wiki Science.

I'm interested in medical electronics and robots, so naturally I'm interested in Electronics and Robotics and Programming:Serial Data Communications.

That led to me becoming sysop on the Open Circuits wiki http://opencircuits.com/ .

Feel free to leave notes on my discussion page here or at Wikipedia:User_talk:DavidCary .

When the comments I've made on some Talk: page become obsolete/irrelevant, please don't *leave* them there. Reduce clutter. Move it to User talk:DavidCary.

I try to eliminate notes as soon as they become obsolete/irrelevant. (I delete my own, and move others to the Talk: page of the person who signed it.).

I think the ideas around quine programs are fascinating ( Wiki: QuineProgram ).

I've been editing C Programming and some Category:C++ wikibooks recently. Here's a quine I've written recently:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){char d[]=
"\n\\\"#include <stdio.h> /* ANSI C quine by David Cary 2009 */%c"
"int main(void){char d[]=%c%c%cn%c%c%s%c;%c  printf"
"(d+3,*d,*d,d[2],d[1],d[1],d[1],d+1,d[2],*d,*d,*d,*d,*d);%c  return(0);%c}%c%c";
  printf(d+3,*d,*d,d[2],d[1],d[1],d[1],d+1,d[2],*d,*d,*d,*d,*d);
  return(0);
}
