I'm Padmanabhan V. Karthic (b.1982). I finished my [[Master of Technology|Masters]] in [[Computer science]] and [[Computer engineering|Engineering]] from [[IIT Madras]]. I am currently working at Atheros India [[Limited liability company|L.L.CQualcomm]]. Atheros finds mention in the 'pediaIndia [[Special:Search/Atheros|here]]:Private [[Integrated_circuit#Othercompany developments|1]],limited [[Wi-Fi#Wi-Fi and freeby softwareshares|2]],Private [[Wi-Fi Protected Access#Security in pre-shared key mode|3]], [[List of Chinese Americans|4]], [[List of UC Berkeley alumni#Business|5]], [[Centrino#Carmel Platform|6]] (even has a link!), [[RSSI|7]], [[IEEE 802.11|8]] (even has a link!), [[WILIBOX|9Limited]].

* Other things to be added later
(? = most of what I know seems to already be there)
{{User wikipedia/WikiGnome}}{{clr}}
* I seem to like contributing to articles related to [[current events]] at times.
* At times I nominate stuff for deletion (mostly images to [[WP:CP]], but at times I've been to [[WP:IFD]] and [[WP:RFD]]) but I am opposed to being oblivious of Wikipedia policy changes while deleting stuff. For example, one has to consider that until the midst of [[2004]] image tagging wasn't strictly enforced, so images uploaded earlier must only be deleted on proven copyvios.
 
{{user en-34}}{{user en-L-1}}{{user hi-2}}{{user ta-1}}{{user ta-N}}{{clr}}
Yeah, that's right. I'm {{tl|user ta-N}} but far less than {{tl|user ta-1}}. Also, I learnt enough Hindi to become {{tl|user hi-3}} but I'm not confident I'm still so. I also learnt enough German and Sanskrit to become {{tl|user de-1}} and {{tl|user sa-1}} but again I remember nearly nothing.
 
I feel what's important for the English Wikipedia is the ability to translate "xx2en", not "en2xx". For that I can be considered:
z{{tl|user en-N4}} (near-native) {{tl|user hi-3}} <nowiki>{{user ta-0}}</nowiki> and with the help of dictionaries and online translation tools and in my copious free time, {{tl|user de-1}} {{tl|user sa-1}}.
 
==Drawbacks :-)==
* My grammar/spelling/vocab seem to have degraded a lot since 1999.
* I've been alleged to say things are OBVIOUS though they are not.
* [[Mozilla]] at times doesn't shift the "keyboard focus" to the tab currently being viewed. "Minor [[graffiti]]" by me (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Tajikistan&diff=3232619&oldid=3186677]) areused usuallyto be due to this. Nowadays they (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vinita%2C_Oklahoma&diff=34646653&oldid=34516607], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:IndianAirlinesLogo.jpg&diff=35447252&oldid=34597861], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Paddu&diff=36116563&oldid=35857901], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nashcode&diff=36598967&oldid=36342884]) are usually because I haven't got fully accustomed to the [[as of 2006|recent]] defects in my [[computer keyboard|keyboard]] at home.
* I forget to sign comments quite frequently.
* I'm tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lazy (which's why I haven't filed or bothered to find if already filed, the above moz bug & which's why I've contributed almost nothing to the 'pedia).
* I suffer from [[m:Avoid copyright paranoia|copyright paranoia]] w.r.t. contributions from myself (which's why I've contributed almost nothing to the 'pedia).▼
