Jeff Gauthier

Born, raised and living in the Quebec City area, Canada -- not to be mistaken with Jeffrey Wood Gauthier, Google-hog, jazz violinist extraordinaire and friend.

Kludge King™, Duct-Tape Doctor™, Trial'N'Errorist™: a hacker in the original and broader meaning of the word (Wikipedia), giddily chucking hits and misses and patches and tweaks.
