User:Modus Vivendi

Modus Vivendi is Latin for method of living, but appeals to the present author because it's the only foreign phrase he convinced an attentive but language-shy

listener to learn and adopt (he used modus operandi when modus vivendi would have been more appropriate) during his time as a graduate student at an American university.

In any event, I am a Canadian former academic now working

in high technology, with advanced training in science, and

knowledge of several foreign languages.

I am a long-term observer of Canadian politics, mystery

novels, and a few other things, and I try to correct obvious

errors I observe in those areas.

I have been on the internet since 1989, and I may be

available if events so develop in the future to play

a technical role in Wikipedia.

Here are a few things I have contributed to Wikipedia

Macroscope
Children of the Thunder
Category Nero Wolfe -- a gateway to many things about the irascible corpulent Manhattan detective, some contributed by me, others merely gathered under one roof.
I have now added the Category Nero Wolfe novels
The pre-existing Nero Wolfe page contains a list of Rex Stout and Robert Goldsborough books and stories. I have been gradually adding individual pages for the various books by each author and eventually the lists on the Nero Wolfe page may become partially redundant.
