From LizardWiki, FastLizard4's wiki and website
“Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired! No, not you, test subject, you're fine. Yes, you! Box your stuff! Out the front door! Parking lot! Car! Goodbye!”
—From Portal 2, spoken by Cave Johnson

About meHello there! I'm FastLizard4, or at least that's what I call myself on the Internet. Although I like joking that I'm a citizen of the Internet, I am physically located (at least most of the time) in Southern California in the United States. I'm a first-year (junior by unit standing) at the University of California, Los Angeles's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science majoring in Computer Science and Engineering, and potentially minoring in Physics. In addition, this past summer, I worked as a Summer Research Assistant at the California Institute of Technology. Outside of school, I'm a Wikipedia editor (as User:FastLizard4; who would have guessed?) since April 2006 (although I'm not as active anymore as I'd like to be), an administrator/bureaucrat on the English Metroid Wikia, Wikitroid (once again as User:FastLizard4), and I'm an avid computer programmer and Unix/Linux sysadmin. I also am into photography, and have recently gotten into the habit of taking my Nikon D3000 with me wherever I go when possible, which has allowed me to take many of the photographs I have posted on my Flickr photostream. I am also a laser enthusiast, and I own a 450mW 532nm green IR-DPSS-FD laser, a 300mW 650nm (+-10nm) red semiconductor diode laser, and a 1200mW 445nm blue semiconductor diode laser. I classify myself politically as a liberal independent and religiously as an agnostic.

Hosting
LizardWiki and the rest of the site, as well as the other services provided (LizardIRC, etc.) are all hosted from a Linode 512 VPS in Fremont, California, in the United States. You can purchase your very own Linode VPS, or you can see all the perks you get with one, at their website. Also, if you do buy a Linode, please use my referral code: 7244b9177cf793b272687738ee557aca870d8acf (note that if you click in the previous sentence, my referral code will automatically be used).
Before the Linode, this wiki was hosted on a Hexxeh VPS. If you don't mind being hosted in Europe and if you don't mind not having a control panel, they're super cheap (really awesome deals)! Click here to see plans and pricing, and feel free to contact Hexxeh directly on his Twitter if you have questions!

Random Awesomeness
"Once upon a midnight dreary
While I porn surfed, weak and weary
Over many a strange and spurious site of 'hot xxx galore'.
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour.
'Tis not possible!', I muttered, 'Give me back my free hardcore!'
Quoth the server, 404."
--Prodego in the ##juliancolton IRC channel's topic
<Freakatone> Is there a way to make the server update itself?
<Skizzerz> you need to take a sacrifical lamb to the altar in the New York Wikia
office, say a prayer to the heathen gods of the servers, then offer up
the lamb and a cornucopia of fresh melons, along with expensive red wine
<Skizzerz> or you could poke crucially for a real answer
