my blog is the life and times of smitty where you can find out more about me. in a fairly diving-in-the-deep-end kinda way.

i am an Orthodox residing in australia, hence my interest in the Church in australia and its near neighbours. noticing the lack of information about Orthodoxy in australia on OrthodoxWiki, i decided that the situation wasn't going to improve without personally doing something about it.

On 14/July/05, i was made a sysop of OrthodoxWiki; while being sysop of OrthodoxWiki, special attention has been given to my pet topic of Orthodoxy in Australasia. The greatest difficulty in this task is the ease of being misinterpreted, and deciding what information fits the criteria of 'encyclopedia'.
