Peguei esse texto da minha conta na Wiki em ingles. Como estou sem acentos agora, traduzo depois.

Hello, I'm Lucio, a sophomore in Physics at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

I usually go around wikipedia like this: initially, I have some subject I'd like to know about and so I search it or type the URL directly to see if I'm lucky (and most times I am!). I read on a bit until some very appealing link to some other subject comes up in the middle of the article. So I click all links that seem interesting in that and subsequent articles and open them up in new tabs (using Opera web browser). With a really wide collection of pages open, I begin reading one by one, eventually stopping at some point, saving the session (another one of Opera's very neat features) and continuing later. A friend of mine majoring in computer science said I like to search superficially, rather than deep (he probably had trees in his mind.

I speak mother-language portuguese (brazilian), fluent english, some spanish and am learning german. French is pretty cool too, but I can only read it, and roughly. :)

In wikipedia, I only do minor edits. Basically I correct pages' grammar and spelling, rewrite some phrase or paragraph to provide clarity and ease of understanding, correcting links (there are TONS of links leading to the wrong place and to disambiguation pages lying around!) and adding little known or unperceived facts now and then.

My interests are mostly religious and academic. I love God and belong to the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church. I also love my girlfriend a lot, and hope to marry her as soon as we can get ourselves a place to call home.

I'm a lot into computer programming and computational physics, having a great Visual Basic and C knowledge and a lesser, but good, C#, PHP and MySQL acquaintance. Also, I know lots of HTML, XHTML and CSS.

In science, Physics is my element. I am mostly fascinated by the people behind it all. Mr. Feynman isn't your usual fella (as stated by Stephen Hawking, he was "A physicist's physicist". Calculus is great (of course, a physicist came up with it (simultaneously with Mr. Laplace)). Carl Friedrich Gauss is unbelievably incredible :)

I think recursion is awesome, especially recursive acronyms. My favorites are GNU, PINE and RPM.

My favorite Linux is Slackware Linux.
