GEEK/RESEARCHER

Having taught myself HTML back in 1994 on my roomie's UNIX machine I've written web copy and coded ever since, including webpages for several community groups. I was also a technical editor for a hydrometric technician's manual with Environment Canada and helped computerize their SEDEX database. I worked with Dr. Don McAllister on a biodiversity impacts paper for the World Commission on Dams.
My other now too-neglected baby is DRIIA: the Dam-Reservoir Information Impact Archive (aka The Archive) which I maintain and am in the process of overhauling. The Archive began as a project of the Dam-Reservoir Working Group, which I co-founded at Ontario Public Interest Research Group-Carleton, in the early 1990's.
The Dam-Reservoir Information and Impact Archive grew out the research I did at Carleton U as a student investigating impacts of the James Bay project. It started as a repository of bibliographies and other information on effects of water abstraction on a variety of things - the environment, social impacts, etc. Various scientists and researchers contributed bibliographies and other information, people sent me information about their work and groups etc. And I kept digging into what one engineer specializing in dam construction told me there was in fact what he called "a whole syndrome of dam impacts". I found as many links as I could and taught myself HTML. Other people in the group I co-founded sent me things. And the rest is history.
When the Smithsonian linked to the page from their Ocean Planet site I was pretty much over the moon - especially when I found out it was done by one of NASA's oceanographers and hosted on NASA webspace. Which makes me a hopeless nerd and geek. :)
Oh yes, I'm white and nerdy...
You are a queen. But not just any queen - you are a Warrior Queen with a rich and powerful kingdom, that other kingdoms will attack to try to possess. You are headstrong and will fight for what you believe in. Your kingdom loves you for that but wish their land wouldn't get into so many wars with others! Still, they're happy to live in a rich and powerful land. Your king would have to be just as strong and brave as you. Powerful and demanding. A leader, and never take as second place. You and him will be very powerful. He would still be caring and loving.
