I work at the University of New South Wales, where I use Ruby to analyze biological data.
In part of my spare time, I work on fun programming projects. One was trying to analyze what underlies Wikipedia's Get to Philosophy game. I also worked on one called the "Small Eigen Collider".
I'm currently learning Japanese, and I'm an active participant in lang-8.com, a website where you write journal entries in a language you're learning, and get corrected by native speakers of that language. In return, you correct people writing entries in your native language. Recently, I've been asking a few questions prompted by slightly incorrect English I've encountered on lang-8.

Was Adria Richards threatened and doxxed? @RedGrittyBrick I think vartec is asserting that as this is merely a blog hosted by Forbes, and not part of Forbes Magazine, and the author is not Forbes staff, the quote isn't from a "reputable news outlet". |

Was Adria Richards threatened and doxxed? @Oddthinking if it can be shown that she was threatened, but it's unknown whether she was doxxed, then it'd be a useful answer. If it can be shown she was neither threatened nor doxxed, then that'd be a useful answer as well. |

Can you still buy used panties in vending machines as a souvenir from Japan? I asked on lang-8.com . The people who replied (all Japanese) said that they'd never seen one. |

What techniques, tricks or otherwise have you used to get upgrades on flights? @AnkurBanerjee if it's an international flight, I'd be more worried about getting them through quarantine! |
