Hi there! My name is Benjamin ESHAM, but I go by bdesham on the 'pedia. I am an administrator, although in the rare event that I use the associated powers it's just for maintenance work. Feel free to contact me for any Wikipedia-related questions, although honestly I'll probably just point you to the site's documentation :-)

	I'm bdesham128 on AIM and bdesham AT gmail DOT com on Google Talk / XMPP. If it's at all possible, please use OTR encryption—you can find my fingerprints at /Security.
	You can e-mail me at bdesham AT gmail DOT com. Feel free to use my PGP key to encrypt your e-mail.
	Visit /Userboxes to see my entire life summarized by a series of colorful boxes.
