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.
recently (14/July/05), i have been made a sysop of OrthodoxWiki.
i am 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.
