Hi, I'm Haus. I've had this account since 28 Feb 2006 and puttered about from IPs before then. I generally work on articles related to ships, the shipping industry, navigation, maritime unions -- the gentle reader may be able to detect a pattern emerging. My encyclopedic editing tends to focus on turning stub- and start-class articles into high-B-class articles. About once a year I go on a big maintenance-bender on the 40,000+ articles in WP:SHIPS, trying to focus on a "redheaded-stepchild" task. These benders are typically aided by some ad hoc technology.

I hope to one day have merchant shipping articles in good enough shape that I can kick back and work on something amusing like Mick Farren.

I go to sea for months on end, so if I appear dormant it's probably because I am.

If you're wondering if I'm that Haus, the answer is yes. I used to have a pet demon named Balzhur that was the bane of the silly people everywhere.

More random babbling about myself in particular and the universe in general is available on my about page.
