Me after hiking up a mountain and taking a self-portrait with the wind blowing my hair hither-and-yon please don't tease me about the quality of the picture or the length of this caption
A friend says this is what I'd look like if I was on south park. It's scary how close he got.
Wes Hardaker has been in Davis for far too long. He was born here. Ok, technically Woodland because Davis didn't have a birthing center at the time. He did leave at one point, but somehow got sucked back. It's the wiki that keeps him here now :-)
He has a brain dump, err...
blog as well.

2007-02-27 15:25:59 Good to see you here on the wiki. I did get some of the murals in the Post Office, but I'm still missing the main one over the counter. No need to put it back on Photo Requests, I'll get it eventually. —JasonAller
2007-02-27 15:57:27 Ahh. Thouhght the comment was refering to the one over the po boxes. —WesHardaker
2007-02-27 16:26:24 Thanks for making some awesome contirbutions to the wiki. Keep up the good work! —ArlenAbraham
2007-02-27 17:16:43 Nice photo, although sorry about your cat. —JabberWokky
2007-02-27 17:33:25 Actually, I didn't think it was nice enough which is why I didn't remove the image request... kinda fuzy. —WesHardaker
2007-02-28 14:06:36 I think the Good Places to take Kids page was a fantastic idea! Kudos. —ES
2007-02-28 23:43:32 Nice coyote shot —StevenDaubert
2007-03-03 08:44:48 Do you want to do a bike tour of all the parks in town with cameras and kids in the bike trailers? —JasonAller
2007-03-09 15:45:10 Hey, Wes. You would likely get much more response if you filed those bugs at
http://projectsycamore.org, the software wiki. There's about to be a big upgrade for the Davis Wiki software, so it's quite possible the things you're finding have already been fixed. —JabberWokky
Didn't want to do that until I found exactly what it was. — Wes
2007-03-09 16:57:09 It seems the bikepath closure page is indeed currently useful... Thanks for the update. —DavidGrundler
2007-03-09 16:57:53 I sent you an email (found your address at the bottom of
hardakers.net). —PhilipNeustrom
2007-03-09 17:57:00 I like the born in Davis part, just like me! hafhafhaf —StevenDaubert
2007-03-22 09:43:09 That's a long caption. Neener neener. —JabberWokky
2007-03-23 17:44:11 Amazing edits tonight. Really interesting stuff. —JabberWokky
2007-03-27 16:25:31 It looks like both the second and third pictures are orb weavers. —DavidGrundler
Hmm... could be, but the second one is almost entirely black. the patterning is about right though so I suspect you're right.
2007-03-27 19:54:41 great spider pictures! —ArlenAbraham
2007-04-02 22:21:54 Great addition. Love the hatchery photos! —DavidGrundler
2007-04-04 15:04:24 Holy awesome spider pictures! —PhilipNeustrom
2007-04-09 09:31:31 I think mouseguests was a pun on houseguests. —JabberWokky
2007-04-09 11:06:48 re: mouseguests... I almost made the same edit. I'll leave it there. If somebody sticks 'em back together, that's fine too. :) —JabberWokky
2007-04-09 19:39:32 awesome, didn't know about the dog nozzle! —EdHenn
2007-04-10 08:18:52 Wes, your "We Love Our Residents" mystery picture never made it to the directory of older pics... —DavidGrundler
2007-04-11 17:58:23 giggle —ArlenAbraham
2007-04-20 23:24:42 Can you move the file forawhile.jpg from Mystery Picture to Mystery Picture/History and label it? —JasonAller
2007-05-03 08:14:58 Wes "sock puppet" Hardaker... I like it! ;) —DavidGrundler

You can thank JabberWokky for the Sockpuppet Virus title. —WesHardaker
2007-06-08 16:26:22 Finals week always makes my edits a little crazier. —BrentLaabs
2007-07-14 21:34:25 One of your "Best of Davis" multis, virtual start to Berryessa hide. End the madness! —KevinChin
2007-07-18 14:11:22 Picture taken in Oberlin, Ohio next to an Oldenburg sculpture. I love Oldenburg and saw the sculpture while visiting my Mom. —KirkParrott
2007-07-27 07:54:03 Thanks for your comments, Wes! I had no idea about the Sidewalk Crack Project. —LamarHeystek
2007-09-11 23:36:19 Holy cow, nice work on the Davis Bike Loop! Perhaps something. . . Unusual. . . will come out of your efforts? :) —KevinChin
2007-09-20 14:54:32 Hi Wes, Thanks for helping me edit my comment. I hope it wasn't too tedious. Have fun at Dos! —AmyLee
2007-09-28 08:26:27 I've tried ul'ng the "davisbikeloop-whole.gpx" file both to my own gps and to geocaching.com to see what's along the Loop, but the file doesn't seem to have any points/route info. The .kmz file works fine, however. Do you happen to have the route info still, and also would you mind if I'd made the route a public one on geocaching? —KevinChin
2007-10-01 13:59:21 WHEN AND WHERE IS THE SLASDOT 10 YEAR GOING TO BE WES? —Miley
2008-01-26 09:04:21 The issues you raised are the same ones I had until I realized the guy who did it knew what he was doing: check the edit log for both entries... we had lumped everything kind of together, while he split them out into two distinct things. I'm inclined to believe him that they are distinct (overlapping) entities, as he is personally/professionally attached to one. —JabberWokky
2008-01-26 20:39:50 I don't see any duplication. The writeups and photos are different... one is about the 16,000 acre Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, the other about the ...
ah HA! I was laboring under the impression that the Vic Fazio Yolo Wildlife Are was a subset section of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. There's not much duplication, but if they are indeed the same area with different names (and possibly funding, etc), then you're right, they should probably be one entry with a redirect and a note on why two different names are used for the same thing. Of course, they could also be two very distinct groups with co-caretaker roles for the same physical land, in which case two entries may make sense. (I just woke up from a nap; I think this needs a clear head and a bit of research to work out). —JabberWokky
2008-03-17 02:00:13 A buddy of mine has a portable hole, and a complete set of putters and drivers etc, you should disc sometime! —StevenDaubert
2008-03-17 09:21:44 Hey, saw your post about disc golf. I played it all the time back home, but haven't found anywhere good to do so here. I would totally be up for it! —BrandonBarrette
2008-04-03 11:25:30 I think the person may well be originally from WC (the whois says so), but his current information on his main website (
Jackery.com) says he's living in Davis. —JabberWokky
2008-04-06 13:36:05 Have you played Disc Golf at the course in Elk Grove? I noticed Disc Golf baskets in the park while running a race a few weeks ago. Curious if its worth it to check out. I recently was in Oxford Circle Park and saw the course there... Wow, pretty sad that Davis can't have a decent course. They should be able to make a nice course on the north Covell Greenbelt, that would be amazing. —BrandonBarrette
2008-04-07 18:40:57 Ok, I take that back... here is the course,
http://www.yourcsd.com/parks/facts/pdf/DiscGolf.pdf, I think ours might be better, although this looks good for long distance driving practice. —BrandonBarrette
2008-07-28 09:18:01 I had the same experience at Mace Market. I couldn't believe it. Check out my experience at
http://abramnichols.com/blog/?p=1310#comments. My wife and I made a pact not to shop there again, no matter how convenient it was! —DannyFoster
2008-09-23 21:08:34 Umm if you mean RLy, that's an account I deleted, so I was taking off my own comment, if you didn't have the patience to connect the dots... —RebekahLee
2008-10-21 21:43:21 Hi Wes, you posted a comment on the massage therapy institute page...saying "quick comment" could be better. I'm brand spanking new to wikis and am helping Julie with her marketing. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them...I assume you might have added the bullets. thanks, -douglashall —DouglasHall
2009-05-05 07:22:33 re:edit;you certainly came in with a lot of whine, while ive been up all night picking grapes. re:comment;dont understand=look at the previous comment. —BlueDot
2009-09-17 11:51:18 I have added the info from the comments I removed to the history section of the page, thats why I deleted the comment. Its now stated twice. —RealComputers

Help with Lists. Note that 1.\n 1.\n 1.\n is an autonumbering list and is not a mistake. There is also the auto-lettering list, which I need to find an excuse to use more often... =) —WilliamLewis
2009-10-28 12:59:45 I guess I was confused by your edit. Sorry. =) —WilliamLewis
2009-10-28 14:02:19 I have not registered the business name with the county yet so it could be either. I plan on doing this over in woodland today. I will probably register it as Real Computers and Free Diagnostics because there are porbably other Real Computers in the county. —RealComputers

:-) —CovertProfessor
2009-10-30 19:56:11 Yes, definitely better. —CovertProfessor
2009-11-20 08:08:20 Hi Wes - Don Lotter here. I posted about developing the Realtime Developing Events discussion area on DavisWiki. I grew up next door to your dad and Warren, copying all of Warren's collecting hobbies and trying to keep from denting your dad's cars with our baseballs. I'm moving overseas in a couple of weeks, so if you think that discussion area is a good thing maybe you could pursue it. There have been a number of times I wanted to know what was going on (helicopter, sirens, explosion, gunshots etc.) but couldn't go anywhere online to find out. Maybe the discussion area could link to Twitter. Hey, what if Neil Young showed up at a bar and started playing? Best,
Don Lotter —dwlotter
