I am Equinox.
My native language is British English. I speak French, but not with great fluency. I also speak Translingual, which I picked up during a trip to Translingua. There were vampires.
I tend to add a lot of terms from computer programming, retrocomputing, and the Internet, because I am a big nerd (but not the awful kind that can't shut up about Linux). I also like tidying up entries and adding missing inflections, derivatives, and alternative spellings. No other bastard is going to do the un-s and adverbs.
Bots
These things only run while I am watching them, so they essentially function like a Web browser.
