David Gerard

After ten years, I finally have a domain in my own name. Gosh!

David Gerard is the first hit on a Google search on his own name, now outranking the Dutch painter. He works as a system administrator, mostly doing Solaris and some Linux, and devotes considerable time to volunteer work with Wikipedia and Wikimedia. He is from Australia and lives in London with his wife, girlfriend, daughter and cats.

I am Press Officer for Wikimedia UK and a Volunteer Media Contact for the Wikimedia Foundation. The best way to contact me is by email to dgerard@gmail.com, or phone me on 07733 223 584 (frequently goes to message).

• Blogs:
• News of the News, my fake news blog.
• My music webzine, Rocknerd, alive and up again.
• DailyPic.co.uk, three pictures a day to brighten your life. I recommend the RSS feed.
• My Wikimedia blog.
• My LiveJournal, which is unutterably tedious if you don't know me already.
• My photo site, reddragdiva.co.uk. Mostly pictures of drunk goths in pubs.
• My English Wikipedia user page.
• I used to do a Perth indie rock fanzine, Party Fears. I have a scanner, so these will be up some time or other when I can be bothered.
• redcountess.co.uk (my wife's site) and arkady.org.uk (my girlfriend's site).
• The Australian Critics of Scientology Resource Collection, not updated since 2000 but still apparently of use and interest.
• I had a home page on thingy.apana.org.au, with all manner of exciting things! But it's gone with Thingy. I did save the following:
• What Makes A Fuckhead? by David Kendrick.
• Here's the Internet Archive version. Email me if there's something from there that particularly deserves to go back up.

I have this image from counter.li.org. I personally prefer FreeBSD, but Ubuntu runs very nicely on my laptop.
