From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CandidHQ is my internet handle, because it is the name of the internet community that I run. I try to be a good boy on Wikipedia, and I'm all about working together and being civil. I do this for fun, so if it gets uncivil, it's no longer fun. It's how I relax. Weird, huh?
Wikipedia areas I watch and edit
[edit]
- Subjects related to the Wichita, Kansas area
- Games that I enjoy
- The one show I watch on tv
- IBLP, my former employer.
- Currently, I am trying to decide whether or not to get involved in the "spoken articles". I have experience and training in the area of naration, stage voice, and such. Additionally, I can work on the recordings myself using my own software. The question is finding the time...
- I was involved for a few days in the translation effort at SPATRA, mostly in the Threshing-board article for some time. I try, but I'm not that hot at translation.
My employment (past and present)
[edit]
I currently work in Instructional Technology at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas.
In the past, I have been a Video Editor, Engineer, and Producer for the Institute in Basic Life Principles, Oak Brook, IL, http://www.iblp.org
I worked at one point for http://www.characterlink.net, where I performed background coding (Server scripts that served as pipelines between data sources and destinations). Most of the work I did was in Perl, and was never seen by the customer, although I did some ASP work (VBScript), too.
