About Me

User Nicjansma.jpg

Hello! My name is Nic Jansma and I'm the founder of sarna.net. I'm currently living in Seattle, and working at Microsoft on the Windows Client Performance Team.

I currently maintain sarna.net and a few other websites in my spare time. If you have any ideas or suggestions, or want to help out, please let me know!

Sadly, these days, I don't play BattleTech much any more -- I haven't even played the board game for a couple of years. I've played most of the video games, a bit of Neveron, but BattleTech is still in my heart. I sold most of the non-rule books a while ago, something that I now regret, but you never know at the time. I hope others are out there still playing. It's great to see sites like Classic BattleTech still going strong, and several projects still being developed for BattleTech.

Feel free to leave a note!

Current Status

January 25, 2009: I am not actively contributing to BattleTechWiki articles, but am still monitoring the site for vandalism and other problems. I check my talk page periodically if you wish to leave a message. I still intend to get to my to-do's below, hopefully sooner rather than later!

History of Sarna.net

I opened sarna.net in 1994 after finding BattleTech 3rd Edition at a local gaming store. Getting into web programming around the same time, this site was born. Eventually, I began searching far and wide for every BattleTech file and tidbit I could get my hands on, and compiled it into the site. The site has gone through several designs, with the core content growing every year. I've put in a lot of time and energy into the site, and feel it's a good resource for the BattleTech community. As of October 2006, I converted all of sarna.net into a wiki with hopes that the site will morph to what the community needs.

Thanks to everyone who helps out!
