Describe Nick Schmalenberger here.
I have lived in Davis all my life and like it, especially Davis water. On Davis Wiki, I like to see active discussion about Davis in a very free and highly linked mesh topology way like Katamari Damacy. My hobbies are collecting comic books, reading, bsing with people on Davis wiki, learning about UNIX and computer programming, amateur radio(KG6PIP), and being outside. I like to ride my bicycle around town and go backpacking, skiing, and canoeing. I am an Eagle Scout from Troop 111. I am usually in the daviswiki irc channel and on AIM as nickzxcv. Someday I would like to visit the ![[wikipedia]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/inter.png){kind=small}
Isle of Skye, because I like the name, among other places such as Sky Harbor, to which I hope to go back some day. I think Sky Harbor is the most beautiful and melodious name for an airport I have ever heard.
My favorite comic book series is Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio. It is a webcomic now, here: ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/, but it was in print for thirteen issues and I own all of them in single issues, trade paperback, hardcover, or all three. I also like Neil Gaiman, Fables, Star Wars, and lots of other science fiction and fantasy, including the book Darkmage by Barbara Hambly. I am one of the few geeks in the world who has read Ender's Game (twice, both assigned) and didn't like it. I have an account at Librarything. My favorite Star Wars movies are IV,II,V,III,I,VI in the order of my preference from best to worst. Firefly/Serenity are amazing and much like my favorite Star Wars episode, A New Hope. I also like to read some other webcomics and play games like Nethack. People on the wiki who make a hobby of passive aggressively bothering other users about their username or other wiki activity annoy me. Reading Sam's Mediterranean/Politics makes me laugh.
Kettle of fish.

Tell me about cute penguins in your computer.

2009-11-25 03:20:44 Hmmm...while I have no penguins on my computer, I did enjoy your use of the word "melodious" in your description of the airport. Chhatrapati Shivaji International in India doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it? Thanks for your nice comments about my blog! —jsbmeb
2009-11-25 07:33:08 Hey, User/ScottWeintraub left a cryptic message on Subway that indicates he may need a helping hand. Or not: it is awfully cryptic. Still, I think (and it is only my opinion) somebody should reach out to him and see what he meant in case he needs help. —JabberWokky
2010-01-04 22:31:23 Well, I am guessing that the person who originally wrote that thought that students, who on average tend to be young and healthy, might not have much experience with health care and so not know the right thing to do in an emergency. Maybe that person (I haven't bothered to see who made the edit) even knew some students who had made the mistake. I figure, at worst it is condescending and at best it might help someone. —CovertProfessor

2010-01-12 08:43:40 Her only edits to date have been via a comment box. It is plausible that she wouldn't be able to figure out how to reply without one. Having a bit of communication would certainly encourage one to figure out how to edit the other two ways. (Unless you're implying but not saying that she's not a new editor, which I am unaware of). —JabberWokky
2010-01-28 18:13:27 Nick, not sure if you're a guy or a girl, but I have nothing nice to say about davis. Don't want to rag on your hometown, but after being forced to live there for three years I'll just say the truth hurts! Get out and see the world & you might stop being such a homer —davisGeek
2010-01-31 22:22:37 Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't tried many different clients, just mIRC and ChatZilla, but I like CZ pretty well. Very easy to use, although it's no longer built-in since I stopped using Firefox. I may go ahead and check out the Opera client. —TomGarberson
2010-02-06 04:39:56 I need some sleep —StevenDaubert
2010-02-26 08:21:08 Dim sum! Yum! Possibly. I'm not sure of my schedule yet, but I'll let you know. —IDoNotExist
2010-02-26 09:34:35 I would like to, but unfortunately I have a large project due on Monday that I will need to devote my weekend to. —hankim
2010-02-26 09:50:39 Thanks for taking the time to comment on that. I vaguely remember some of this stuff, and as JW noted, I was just quick-checking to see if minimalist application is legitimate. —EdWins
2010-02-27 18:16:33 Nick, if William hadn't cleaned up the pages you removed JabberWokky's four color notices from what would your solution to those pages have been? Were you planning on addressing the issue of a what appeared to be a single entity having four duplicative pages? I'm curious if you had something in mind beyond just removing JabberWokky's attempt at a solution? —JasonAller
2010-03-01 08:35:17 Thanks. Hopefully it will help. —CovertProfessor

2010-03-10 17:26:07 Subtle. —JabberWokky
2010-03-11 21:55:14 Thanks Nick! I just went off of one source, and unfortunately it was all UCD stuff. I recall reading about a book on Davis history somewhere around here that might be fun to pick up and further fill things in. That'll probably be on hold for a while, though. —TomGarberson
2010-03-27 20:03:30 Nick, whats the best way to reach you? —NathanielVigeant
2010-03-29 09:15:38 Girl Genius is probably the best comic I've ever read. My household is a huge fan of it!
Sadly, I don't understand the edit you made to my profile. :( —Adalwolf
2010-05-25 17:23:01 I like sushi. —JenniferCook
2010-05-26 22:10:07 Argh, I wish: I'll be at Fanime by then, and I've got work on Thursday for the entire day. I leave immediately after work for home, too, so I can get to Fanime early.
Thanks for the offer, though! —AlexanderHo
2010-05-28 09:42:56 I unfortunately have class at that time. Probably a good thing too because I tend to take all-you-can-eat as a challenge but I am attempting to cut about ten more pounds in case my shoulder gets better by tomorrow and I am able to compete in a Judo tournament tomorrow. —hankim
2010-05-28 09:55:40 Thanks, I will be needing it desperately to survive. —hankim
2010-05-28 18:39:55 I work at 1:45pm, so I may or may not be able to pop by. —SunjeetBaadkar
2010-06-02 08:06:06 It is just a nomenclature error that bugs me. Just like when someone pronounces nuclear "nuke-U-ler" . I dont think it is bad that the two are compared, I just wish people understood that wikipedia does not equal wiki. —DagonJones
2010-06-02 08:07:53 btw, is girl genius a good comic? I thought it looked kind of goofy (not that that is a bad thing), is the story good and the characters well developed? —DagonJones
2010-06-02 10:13:57 Heh, just a positive externality of procrastination. (: —EBT
2010-06-02 13:01:54 Stop hiding, Nick! —BreeButler
2010-06-05 20:43:39 But was it intentional? I think it might have been a mistake! —CovertProfessor
2010-06-09 04:42:05 get to sleep —StevenDaubert
2010-06-11 21:51:13 Hi Nick, thanks for your comments on my user page. I disagree with your point though. From my perspective, that's exactly what makes the Wiki so great: When I made the mistake of not signing out of my account (that I was using to teach Vaage about Wiki, because he wanted to have an interaction with a "DickLiddle" - hmmm), I was able to go back and correct the error without having to consult a professional or justify the action to anyone. Would appreciate feedback. —TimQuick
2010-06-12 14:34:48 Ah! Sorry for getting back to you so late! I don't check the wiki every day anymore, so I didn't see your message. Sushi would have been cool. —TaniaG
2010-06-13 13:08:20 Oh yeah, the revert option. That's good counsel. Thanks. —TimQuick
2010-06-13 15:44:48 I'll have to look into that 24 hour sleep awake syndrome. . . I may have it. We may even need to add a page. Who knows who else is suffering from this debilitating disease! :D —CurlyGirl26
2010-06-15 08:27:00 Yep, that's really the bigger problem, in my view, but together they're a disaster. —CovertProfessor
2010-07-09 06:44:47 Do you want it to turn non-passive? —JasonAller
2010-07-09 18:41:16 If you feel that way then by all mean either ban them, or start pages calling for their bans. I'll probably argue that it is better to reach out to them and explain why they are being banned rather than just banning them, but let's see how it plays out. —JasonAller
2010-07-10 08:22:12 What is your call on teenclinic? Ban for org account name? —JasonAller
2010-07-10 21:16:15 Thanks, I like colorful tables as well. —Mogitha
2010-07-13 04:01:11 Yup, unfortunately the 70 year old George Carlin of Comics has passed on. R.I.P Mr. Pekar. —WesOne
2010-07-26 00:08:54 William and Nick: Davis definitely is short on electronics supplies. I mostly go to Best Buy because it is closer to where I live, and I basically hate Fry's. I see your point. That page looks a little bare, though, with just a couple of grocery and drug stores and one big out-of-town retailer. —DonShor
2010-07-26 00:10:39 http://www.farmland.org/americas-favorite-farmers-markets-states.asp#CA
If you love the Davis Farmer's Market.. vote and spread the word. we are 40 votes behind Rochester, New York... The only other Farmer's Market even close to the number Davis has so far. —WesOne
2010-07-29 01:02:47 Its disrespectful to Sam, harmful to his business, and involves an event that may or may not have happened years ago. Sorry to be so peremptory, I probably should have communicated with you first. —DonShor
2010-07-29 10:42:08 Would it work for me to drop by maybe Friday evening to pick up the tabling stuff? —TomGarberson
2010-07-30 08:37:16 Nick, I saw your comment to Cary Arnold. When I searched on Davis Life Magazine, about 95% of the links I looked at were broken. I only went through about 30-40 hits of the ~170 that TG had counted. Are you proposing that someone should search for the correct link for each of those? That's quite an undertaking — certainly not one that I am willing to undertake. In my view, to really do it right you'd also have to incorporate some of the DLM story into the wiki page, and I definitely don't have the time for that! —CovertProfessor
If we had correct links, I think adding a little blurb to each page would be the sort of thing to do over time. If a few different people each did 10 a day, it'd get done in a week or so, and it wouldn't be that big a burden. Of course, we'd also need to find the right links... —tg
