A Brief History of Lucas Thompson

• 1971 I was born.
• 1979 I sat down in front of a computer for the very first time.
• 1987 Got up from the computer to play stupidly fast harmonic minor scales on my electric guitar and become a heavy metal guitar god.
• 1992 Guitar god job wasn't paying the bills ... sat down at the computer again.
• 2004 Started contributing to the Wikipedia project in my spare time, since I'm usually sitting at the computer.  :)
• 2007 Got my first reef tank, a simple 75 gallon glass tank with no overflows, using livestock from my girlfriend's 37 gallon.

I mostly sit in front of my reef aquariums or coral propagation tanks instead of sitting at my computer; the computer just isn't as interesting as it used to be.
