The
Asa is the collective noun given to the
Norse pantheon and includes both the Aesir
? and the Vanir
?; the Asa are not merely synonymous with the Aesir
?. Moreover, the term Asa frequently has a much more religious connotation than the simple terms Aesir and Vanir, indicative of worship: it is the root of the contemporary re-implementation of pre-Christian Norse beliefs,
Asatru. The membership of the gods to the Asa is often referred to directly within the
Edda as e.g. Asa-Thor or Asa-Loki.

Hello I am Asa. I am a Christian youth minister and I live in
London,

WikiWiki and especially Wikipedia blows my mind. i discovered it when it was
slashdotted in July 2001 and started tinkering with various bits.
Some articles I have messed with
- The GIMP one of the first things I did on Wikipedia!
- Poets added R. S. Thomas
- Comic books and strips started kinda
- Comic book someone else split this off from the above. good job too
- European languages just added Welsh
- Cultural imperialism sigh... i give up
- Biblical canon comprehensive, but confusing at the mo
- Wales need to say more about my own country!
- Famous Programmers
- Programmer
- Rupert Murdoch corperate censorship!

Significant contributions to

- Yahweh this has developed quite nicely. The first versions were just plain wrong. Now its pretty acurate
- Jehovah still doesn't feel right. perhaps merge with Yahweh?
- Pope Damasus I very happy with this. 99% is my work

Here is [my old, outdated web site].
Musings and Projects
- Early September 2001: searched for "Linux" and modified most references to "Linux" the OS to read "GNU/Linux". Exceptions: personal opinion (Wikipedian's personal pages, /Talk pages and general reporting of opinion), quotes (book and essay names) and titles (e.g Mandrake Linux).
- So someone put the Linuxs back annonymously after a bit of a row in the Talk on GNU/Linux. It was certainly an interesting experiment anyway :)
