Attempt #2: his blog?

http://geekswithblogs.net/dchristiansen/Default.aspx may be David Christiansen' blog. I wrote the blog owner with the blog's "contact form" and am awaiting reply. Stephen Ewen 21:12, 19 April 2007 (CDT)

Still no reply. Stephen Ewen 03:48, 22 April 2007 (CDT)

Attempt #3: by possible email address @delphi.org

I found an email address with his name bearing the domain delphi.org at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/agriculture/entomology/beekeeping/bee-l/log9409.txt. Delphi.org seems like it might be a good "fit" for being him.

Hello David.

Are you the David Christensen who is the author of this proposed Linux image?

If so, I am hereby requesting use of it under a free content license, 
such as the GFDL or a Creative Commons license, the more libre the better.

Alternately, if you would be so kind as to offer your permission for its 
use in http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Tux and much preferable, also extend 
that permission to all upstream Citizendium re-users, I would be grateful.

Thanks,
