An introduction.
I know many of Missing e’s followers also follow my personal Tumblr, but I thought I would introduce myself just the same (again x2).
Hello!
My name is Jeremy, the mind behind Missing e. I’m a 29-year-old Computer Engineer from Toronto, Canada working as a Java JIT compiler developer at IBM. I was born and grew up in this city, attending the University of Toronto (where I met my wife) for undergraduate and graduate school (Master’s).
I’m not always as photogenic as the above photo, taken on my wedding day (about seven months ago), indicates. I married a beautiful (and often infuriating) mechanical engineer named Maggie, who was born in Hangzhou, China.
I’m in love with Tumblr. I opened an account here just over a year and a half ago, after being lured in by friends on Twitter. As time progressed, I noticed certain parts of the Tumblr interface that could be improved and took it upon myself to throw together some Greasemonkey userscripts to make the experience a little better. As I shared them with more and more people, I felt encouraged to create more and more of these scripts (which were increasingly complex) to tweak many corners of the Tumblr experience and to make them compatible with more browsers.
A little over 6 months ago, I got it into my head to roll all the userscripts into a single extension. They’d perform better and I could implement some things not possible with Greasemonkey. Eventually, after much toiling and admonishing remarks from my wife, I got it working for Chrome and Safari (and later, Firefox 4 and higher). Development never really stopped, as I welcome suggestions and bug reports from just about any of you.
Outside of development (an activity I’ve never much enjoyed, to tell the truth), I have a handful of hobbies. I like graphic design, photography, creative writing, craft design and a number of other holdovers I have had since I left a special computer graphics and fine arts major program in high school (called CyberARTS) to focus on credits I would need to get into an engineering program at university.
You are welcome to stop by my personal Tumblr (cutlerish.tumblr.com) where I can be, on occasion, funny, inspiring, lewd or interesting. Don’t follow me just because. Take a look first!
You are also more than welcome to support continuing development of Missing e by donating. I appreciate every little bit.
