I do not particularly like:

• One-liners and add-on's. (If I just have one or two pieces of information I feel is really important to add to an existing writeup, I'll go see if the noder is still active, and send a msg.)
• Writeups that clearly haven't been edited. It just seems disrespectful somehow. Like the noder couldn't care less.
• Dead Links! Linking isn't really all about putting in some square brackets to keep the CEs off you back: it's about sharing good ideas and guiding the readers along some paths that you, the noder, have thought out on beforehand. When I read a wu, and I follow the hardlinks - and I do - I get so irritated when I slam into a dead link. I feel the noder could have taken the time to pipe me through to something interesting. Either that, or just leave out the brackets in the first place! (Ahem...)
  If you want to use a 'dead link' as a suggestion for future noding/noders, go ahead and create the nodeshell too. Just don't leave your reader hanging on the 'Findings' page.

I update my nodes. I have written a few 'biographies' about still-living persons (sumo wrestlers), and as they are e.g. promoted or win special prizes I add the information to the writeups. If you do find something out of date, please /msg me, and I'll fix it.

I'll do node audits if asked nicely. But you need to be prepared to take the good with the bad if you do ask me...

I think that writing daylogs is fun. Daylogs let me tell the anecdotal little stories that come to mind. The everyday adventures. Sometimes my daylogs get upvotes, and that's cool. Daylogs are about sharing, sort of. Sharing thoughts the way you do when you chat with friends. I like that.

(Wohoo! I made 1000 xp on September 15 2005. Whaddaya know...!?)
I made 3333 xp on February 19, 2006... Cool.
I made 4444 xp on April 20, 2006. I like it when I have some kind of palindromic xp score.
I made it to 9999 xp on January 5, 2007. Now THAT was cool!
And I got my 100^th C! on June 14, 2006. Given on Hakuho by dannye. You guys are just too sweet...
My 200^th C! was given to me by eien_meru, on a daylog, no less.
Also my wu #100 was a daylog.

Mauler translated my favourite poem from Danish: "Måske en martsnat" by Grethe Risbjerg Thomsen. For this, I am truly grateful.

Perhaps a Night in March

I die a little bit for every second that goes past.
I’ll carry death within me, until I breathe my last.
One night – perhaps a night in March – when snowmelt has begun,
I’ll fade away into the dark, at last my dying done.

E2 is unfriendly to new noders... I don't know. I never felt unwelcome. Sure my first w/u was deleted, but I never got any snide remarks or anything. A couple of downvotes (2, I think). A kind msg from rootbeer277 with an explanation and some hints.

As I'm a factual noder I'm on fairly safe ground most of the time. I guess my w/us would be boring to someone not interested in sumo, and I do get the occasional downvote - but on the whole I think E2 is pretty much what you make it. It's a lot like real life...

Well... If you really must know, I was born in 1959 (wow... time flies, doesn't it?) and I'm an April's fool.

I live in Denmark, in lovely Copenhagen, and you'd need a really big crowbar to shift me from here.

As I have mentioned above, I can be a real pain in the... backside. People usually forgive me, though.

Did I mention that I am a huge sumo-fan...?

I like to look at homenodes. They say a lot about the noder who wrote it. I have probably looked at your homenode too...
