Sean Oleary

Hobby programmer / Aspiring Pythoneer / Office Monkey

My preferred wiki home is now www.wikipedia.org

By December 2003, my participation at Wards Wiki have diminished to zero. If you're looking for me, your best bet is my Wiki Pedia user page.

I've learned more about programming here than in most books, and I've learned more about collaboration here than in most jobs.

At Wards Wiki, I'm an Open Author, so you're welcome to do what you like with my words. If you come up with something particularly good, I would love to know about it.


Chemical Emergency Planning

I help communities plan for chemical emergencies. I enjoy working with chemicals, people, and computers (but not necessarily in that order).

I liked Wiki so much as a method of collaboration that I created a short-lived Chemical Emergency Planning Wiki for co-workers and friends. It never took off, so I never restored it when my webhost's server crashed.

In my job as a planner, I've found Wiki very helpful:
