	My actual name is Jo. My actual surname is a bit too easily Googled, although if you're clever (or even simply non-lazy), you can find it pretty easily. In the past I've used the surname "Hunter" for anonymizing purposes (and that's how you'll find [http://tsa.transform.to/worlds/tbp/strikingback.html my sole TSA story]).		My actual name is Jo.

	~~You may know me from~~ the [~~http~~://~~lapinia~~.~~org~~/~~tfnet/ TFNet~~] ~~IRC network - I used to be of the ops for #tsa_list~~ and ~~#tsa_tech~~ (~~back when they bothered to have such things), and~~ also ~~regularly hang out in #transformations.

(I also end up moderating a couple other completely unrelated communities; if you're a hockey fan, for example, yep, I'm that same Viqsi. I warned y'all I was weird.)

	I'm one of the [[Shifti:Administrators\|Administrators]] here, although I ~~don~~'~~t really get enough spare time to be~~ all that active; if y'all need help and I'm the only one you can find ~~on IRC~~, I'll do what I can, but in general I just ~~help out~~ [[User:ShadowWolf\|SW]] ~~with occasional backend issues, feature requests, and "beta" tests,~~ and ~~I listen~~ to ~~him ramble.~~ ;~~) (~~I ~~have this [[Shifti UI Revamp\|grandiose plan for revamping the entire site UI]] so it~~'s more ~~author-and-reader friendly,~~ but ~~that would require about two uninterrupted weeks of free time that I don't presently have and so I haven't touched that plan in like FIVE YEARS~~.) I'm also the one who decided on an impulse that we should be "shifti.org" instead of "shifti.keil-draco.com" and acted accordingly. ~~Viqs helpn!~~		I'm one of the [[Shifti:Administrators\|Administrators]] here, although I'm admittedly not all that active; if y'all need help and I'm the only one you can find online, I'll do what I can, but in general I'm mostly just the one who occasionally Speaks To Wolves (okay maybe just [[User:ShadowWolf\|the one]]) and happens to be online kvetching more often than most; I've tried finding ways to do more constructive things but found myself stymied (mostly my fault). I'm also the one who decided on an impulse that we should be "shifti.org" instead of "shifti.keil-draco.com" and acted accordingly, so there's that.

	I've been accused of being an author at times. Perhaps someday I will do something to continue to be deserving of that accusation - I haven't written any fiction in years, partly 'cause I don't really "get into" this sort of thing, but mostly 'cause I vastly prefer nonfiction writing. (And back when I ''was'' writing fiction, most of it was arguably actually furry rather than TF anyways...)		I've been accused of being an author at times.
