Modus Vivendi is Latin for method of living, but appeals to the present author because it's the only foreign phrase he convinced an attentive but language-shy
listener to learn and adopt (he used modus operandi when modus vivendi would have been more appropriate) during his time as a graduate student at an American university.
In any event, I am a Canadian former academic now working
in high technology, with advanced training in science, and
knowledge of several foreign languages.
I am a long-term observer of Canadian politics, mystery
novels, and a few other things, and I try to correct obvious
errors I observe in those areas.
I have been on the internet since 1989, and I may be
available if events so develop in the future to play
a technical role in Wikipedia.
Here are a few things I have contributed to Wikipedia
