Hi, my name is George Gesslein II (pronounced jorj guess-line the second). I am a 51-year-old "differently-abled" guy and I live in Lansing, New York, which is a town near the city of Ithaca, New York. I have contributed to the English and Simple English Wikipedias.
My lifetime free software programming project is Mathomatic, which is elementary algebra hard-coded and visualized in the C programming language. It was developed and perfected under MS-DOS at first, and then a Linux desktop computer came to the rescue! Now I have a powerful Linux desktop with 16 Gigabytes of RAM and 4/8 cores/threads to do development on! Linux is free, and a very flexible operating system, able to safely run other operating systems within virtual machines. It has surpassed MS-Windows, and even Mac OS X.
Wikipedia is all about education. Education helps us make better choices, along with communication and understanding.
I can be contacted by writing on my public talk page, or by private email. I would love to hear from somebody.
I am proud of Wikipedia going ahead with the blackout of January 18, 2012. The media companies have deceived most of us. We need you, Wikipedia, but we need sane and reasonable laws even more. Here is is how to keep on fighting: The Internet Defense League.
