About Myself
Hi, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Thunderbird L17, but generally I just go by Thunderbird. I'm an electrician from Canada, and I'm 19 years old. I first was introduced to Homestar Runner through my cousin from Alberta, during a lull in the MSN conversation. The first thing I saw was the email suntan, and that was in late August of 2003. Nearly a year later, a different friend of mine gave me this link to a walkthrough for Peasant's Quest that she found. I was excited by this find, and intended to fully investigate this new exciting wealth of knowledge. But when I returned less than a week later, the site had begun the switch to MediaWiki. After anxiously waiting for several weeks, I was finally able to create this account on September 14th, 2004. After over seven months of contributions, I was made a sysop on April 26th, 2005 during the 2005 Sysop Nominations. My screenname — Thunderbird L17 — doesn't have anything to do with the car, or the fact that I'm an electrician. It's more the inspiration of the legendary creature from Native American mythology. And no, I am not Native American. I enjoy the heritage of Scotland and... Ontario. But I prefer the Scottish half. Thunderbird was simply my first internet screen name when I played Age Of Empires back in the late 90's, now I use it for all my screen names. The L17 stands for my first initial and my age when I first started coming to this site. It's a progressive screenname; on the forum I am Thunderbird L18, and usually on the IRC chat channel I use Thunderbird L19. I'm usually sleeping or at work when the site is updated, and miss out on the "new page" rush. See my list of contributions below for the kinda work I've done around here. I also keep the Featured Article of the Week running smoothly, I'm usually the one that sends emails to other sites asking for reprint permission, and I'm always willing to help out fellow users whenever they ask. This is my second favorite website, second only to the obvious. And that, in a nutshell, is me. Oh, and I just so happen to own the audio of the UMFM Interview on CD. Lucky me. :)
Top Ten Contributions
- Floppy Disk Container, Couch Mumbling ⇔ My proudest pages. I did most of the info, and much of the formatting.
- H*R.com updates 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 ⇔ Read about the idea to use LiveJournals in the Forum, and ran with it.
- Interviews and Public Appearances ⇔ Created the page, and did most of the work, including adding several transcripts, formatting, and asking for most of the reprint permission.
- Strong Bad Email By Name and Place ⇔ Read about the idea on the Strong Bad E-mail talk page, and created these twin pages in response. Added the first 100+ emails when I started it, and later reformatted the name one into tables.
- Store Thank You Messages ⇔ Created the page from disorganized summaries in the Store, did pretty much all the work on it, including pics.
Other Proud Contributions
- Random Toon ⇔ Convinced other users it was needed and spearheaded the page as soon as soon as Random toons selection began, resulting in much debugging info being saved before it was fixed and lost.
- Duck Guardian ⇔ Summaries of last 20 or so levels, completely made level select after finding it in the forum (after a while the links broke and it became obsolite, but it was cool while it lasted), and came up with armor glitch.
- Holiday Toons ⇔ Started the page and worked on it lots, including finding and listing all the additional Holiday Toons.
- Monkey D ⇔ Created the page, and added the pics.
- Museum Sketchbook ⇔ Expanded on a very basic summary to add pictures and captions.
- Strong Bad's Basement ⇔ Added the widescreen pic of said basement, it took quite a bit of work and editing.
- Making Out ⇔ Came up with the idea, and made the page, along with a list of most of the occurances.
- Toilets ⇔ Created the page, watch over it, and added most of the pics. I don't know why I like it so much, but I do.
Scribings
- Wired News Radio Interview - 23 June 2003 ⇔ Wrote the transcript for the entire 19 minute interview.
- Sketchbook (video) ⇔ Stumbled across it only half complete, finished the other half of the transcript.
- NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005 ⇔ Scribed the last half of the Sample of Style Too section.
- death metal ⇔ Only scribed the Easter Eggs. Not much to brag about.
Contributions By The Numbers
- Over 5000 edits to the Wiki. And only two of them troll edits! :)
- Over 7000 views of my userpage. I hope they weren't all by me...
- Over 200 images originally uploaded. Over 150 still in use, including picures of Jonathan Howe and Paul Slocum!
- And I've personally welcomed 36 new Users. I was "welcomed" by "BurninatorBoombox&Markie"
Most pages that aren't even on the periodical update list I watch and update. But my pet pages are listed under the Frequently Updated Pages section. They're my favorite pages. I'm very proud of the slow and methodical time I put into the updates pages, the time I spent watching every Strong Bad Email to fill out the name and place pages, and the time researching and adding the games in The Floppy Disk Container. The latter is by far my favorite page. I research the labels, add the new pics, add sources, all that good stuff. I like that page. It's my precious.
