Welcome to my user page! You can read it if you want to find out more about me. If you want to talk to me, please refer to Contact Info; otherwise go ahead and learn as much as you want about me. To see what I'm thinking or doing, take a look at my status, either by clicking that link or looking at the bottom of my header. Happy reading!
Please use the ScratchWikiSkin when viewing any of my userpages. Though they were designed while using the vector skin, I now use the ScratchWikiSkin, and further design will be done in that skin. Visuals might go wrong in other skins. If your skin is the normal default, you don't need to do anything; if you're on another skin, add ?useskin=scratchwikiskin2 to the end of the navigation bar.
Additionally, please, PLEASE do not view any of my pages on a mobile phone. Thanks.
It's me, Kenny2scratch

Contact Info

You can find me on Scratch @kenny2scratch, message me on my talk page if you're a Wikian, or if you're a stalker and somehow found out my address, snail mail me (I like letters).

On the Wiki, I...

  • Stalk Recent Changes
  • Edit talk pages since edits I can make are hard to find
  • Fix typos in mainspace and occasionally add significant amounts of info
  • Rarely revamp pages
  • Do other cool stuff
  • Am the template tech support guy (apparently)
  • Suggest momentous things on the Community Portal
  • Do bureaucratic stuff

On the Wiki, I've...



  • Changed Template:Note, Template:Caution, and Template:Tip so that you can now change the word "Note", "Caution", or "Tip" to something else with the second parameter.
  • Made a template (Template:Title style) that changes the DISPLAYTITLE of that page to CSS style in the first parameter.
  • Handled multiple occasions of vandalism in my time.
  • Added a whole bunch to my userpage since I started.
  • Risen to the most active user on the Wiki. (I have since fallen.)
  • Made two browser extensions to help with talk page editing.
  • Completely revamped Help:Magic words to be much more personalized to the Scratch Wiki instead of just being a copy of Help:Magic words on MediaWiki.
  • Completely revamped Scratch@MIT2014.
  • Made a template redirect ({{kp}}) to make {{key press}} easier and quicker to do; this: Alt+0215 being faster than this: Alt+0215 (look at source code to see why).
  • Made a rather complicated template (Template:Link style) that changes the style of intra-wiki links without having to use <span> tags; see the documentation for more info.
  • Made a handy template that produces the correct ordinal suffix depending on the number you pass; {{CURRENTDAY}}{{th|{{CURRENTDAY}}}} produces 4th
  • Created Scratch Wiki:Wiki Wednesday Suggestions as a replacement for the old system (admins post on the CP when it’s time) so that the English wiki (at least) will always have an article ready.
  • Created Scratch Wiki:Style Guide as a guide for how to improve code style to be the most readable or space-saving.
  • Added 25476 bytes worth of content to Scratch@MIT 2018 in the Programme section.

Me programming-wise

My mother tongue is Python 2. I learned it before I joined Scratch, and before I started playing Minecraft - about eight to nine years as of 2019. In around October/November 2017, I finally made the transition to Python 3, after adamantly refusing to switch for a long while.

  • Getting a degree in computer engineering.
  • Being a student representative in university governance.

― The Zen of Python, PEP 20

“ No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves? ”

― Saint Maximilian Kolbe[10]

Notes

  1. ↑ My particular type of colorblindness: I have difficulty telling the difference between reds, oranges, yellows, and greens, or blues and purples. Additionally, (in my case) the red on a traffic light is identical to the yellow.
  2. ↑ Meaning that I am romantically attracted to both men and women, but sexually attracted only to women.
  3. ↑ I learned English as my native language, taught myself Cantonese and Mandarin in kindergarten, learned Morse code because I'm a ham radio operator, learned German numbers because I visited there with my mom when she went on a business trip and learned more German when I visited MartinWollenweber in the summer of 2018, am learning Vietnamese because I am part Vietnamese, and am learning ASL because I want to learn a sign language and ASL is the one closest to home.
  4. ↑ For English, Traditional Chinese, and Morse code, see previous ref; I learned chicken scratch randomly.
  5. ↑ as of 30/3/2019 22:24 (HKT)
  6. ↑ I got started with Super Scratch Programming Adventure! (1.4 edition)
  7. ↑ a b c These are markup languages, not programming languages, but a computer language is a computer language so I count them in this list.
  8. ↑ This is a hardware description language, not a programming language, but it resembles C in many ways and is still a computer language so I count it in this list.
  9. ↑ Meaning that I have to look up things frequently
  10. ↑ I'm not religious; Saint Kolbe is the patron saint of HAM radio operators.
