All my userboxes are now subst:'ed. This is not a personal choice, however WP:GUS (being implemented by a small base of users) means that userboxes I use would be controlled by a certain person.
What follows below is a paragraph I had up on my old user page, for now I don't have time to type up a proper paragraph so I will leave this one until then. In the mean time, learn more about me by looking at my Infobox and the collection of my User Boxes;
I don't have any great ideas at this time for my user page so there might not be any creative elements to it, for now. But it looks like it is changing as it seems to finally be coming all together and starting to look good. I have been over a few other interesting user pages and I have a cool beta version in the works. In the mean time, this is it. Welcome and enjoy your stay.
And how can I forget; if you have any questions, comments and request or anything else, please leave me a message in my discussion page.
Update:This is the beta version I was talking about. Now I have an even better version in the works. This one will be moved in to archive when I release the new one.
Update: The old verion is in the Archives and this is the final build of my user page. I really like it. It's so me. With thanks to Ian13 for the idea.
"ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours."
"But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background. Good starting points are JPL's Basics of Space Flight, and R. Braeunig's Rocket & Space Technology."
Update: I have figured out that you can create this message using this code {{subst:Welcome}}
This is a basic reference -welcome to wikipedia- code for personal use. Look for the source in the edit page. I can't figure how to display the nowiki code properly. It leaves out the <>code</> tags. So if I or you ever need the code just copy it from edit this page screen. Here it is;
