I'm Philip Newton, hence my nick "pne" (preferably entirely lowercase)—that's been my login name ever since I first worked with computers and I've grown rather attached to it.

I have a LiveJournal [1], where I write occasionally.

I can probably put down my involvement with Wikipedia to two things: enthusiasm on the part of Timwi when talking about it and his involvement with it, and finding Wikipedia articles highly-ranked when searching Google for a number of terms. (I'm not sure what finally gave me the impetus to create an account here, though.)

I live in Germany but have a British passport.
