Jeremy T. Gibson was born in fourth-quarter 1984 and is a science-fiction enthusiast who predominately develops computer games on his own time as a hobby, rarely (if ever) releasing those games to the public. In spite of growing up as a pen-and-paper roleplayer, he has only recently gotten back into roleplaying in person. He likes to think of himself as half-geek, half-nerd, and completely-normal, since he never fits in with the hardcore class of science-fiction geeks and, to date, has never purchased a single science-fiction-related collectible (unless Star Fleet Battles counts). He is the owner of this Wiki and apparently enjoys talking about himself in the third person.

Aboot the Author, eh?
My name is Jeremy T. Gibson. I turned 25 years old on October 29th, 2009. Born in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, I'm a Canuck through and through; though I've moved four times in my life, I've never once lived anywhere but the province of British Columbia, and have an attachment to it that I find difficult to shake.
I'm also a hobbyist programmer with no official programming education who has a quest to seek "the ultimately-designed game". I happen to be a high-school graduate who hasn't yet gone to university, mainly due to financial concerns and due to some indecisiveness on my profession of choice; my profession of choice has changed between law enforcement and software engineering for quite some time, but is now firmly entrenched in law enforcement and I'm doing everything in my power to become an officer of the law.
I did take Computer Science in high school, but the course didn't teach me much -- if anything -- new: I can safely say that my programming skills are entirely self-taught, with all that entails. I'm not the greatest programmer in the world, but I like to think of myself as having a particularly stylised way of developing that solves a problem in the most creative way... not necessarily the best way.
I'm an atheist. That means I not only do I not believe in God, but that I strongly believe in the non-existence of God (distinct from agnosticism, which believes that God is possible but that His existence is unprovable either positively or negatively). I'm not particularly outspoken in my atheism, however, as I like to think of myself as a highly-tolerant person. As long as people do good, live well, and don't try to impress their vices and cultural restrictions on others, they are free to do and believe whatever they choose! Perhaps it would be better to say that I am "irreligious", because I don't believe in abolishing religion like many atheists do.
I tend to have frequent problems completing a project, as my interests are much too diverse to commit to a single project at a time. It's not attention deficit disorder so much as it is the pursuit of the unknown. Semper fidelis, to go boldly, etc.
