Derik talks a good game, but he's really a big softy that goes all squooshy inside at the sight of kittens or Emo Boys kissing. They're not just doing it for attention!

Derik can't spell woth a danm. Did you know Mozilla 2.0 has MS Word-style spell check on textarea boxes?

He can sometimes be found late at night making long chains of minor edits to template pages. Derik doesn't do this at night to be considerate to other people- he just likes to delude himself into thinking he can do something quickly before going to bed, and then skips sleep.

Feel free to yell at him on AIM: ReGenesis0

Things not to message Derik about: (culled from actual conversation)

  • "I just sent an e-mail to the executive producer telling him what he needs to do better."
  • "Did you delete my post?"
  • "I had drunken sex with another dude at a furry convention in Canada, what do I do?"

He has been awarded a Starchman Star for excellence and is also apparently a Mut-Org, whatever the hell that is.
