Occupation: Auditor for a logistics company. I graduated from Mohawk College in October of 2001 with an accounting diploma. I also have a computer science certificate (level 1) and a webmaster certificate and I'm working towards other certificates and a computer science (software engineering) diploma also, and I'm doing very well in that. Check out my transcript at http://www.geocities.com/purpletentacle1977ca/co710/transcript.html.
Marital status: Single and looking (check out my profile on lavalife.com)
This website was founded by me, Jimmy Vermeer, on December 31, 2001, using my own scores (which have greatly improved since then), the scores of the Charter Chipsters - Luc Longpré, Ruben Spaans, Peter Andersson, Christian Direnius, Kevin Gordon, LimoJohn, Maybelle Poole, Alice Voith, Kathy LaPier, Christina Carrera, and Barbara Lemmond (from Kathy LaPier's site), scores found in Richard Field's hall of fame, of course Ruben's high score list, which is maintained by Warwick Anderson, and various other sites on the Internet, including those in which Richard Field and Joe Harrison listed all their level scores. Since then, some people (Mike L., Dale Bryan, Mary Victor, Peter Schoenmakers, Paul Jackson, Finn Jepsen, Andrés Gutiérrez Luna, Hallgeir Fl�, Richard Prentice, Andrew Bennett, Larry Jackson, Tom Rowe, Catherine Weilbacher, David Graves, Ted Jenvey, Dan Padgett, Nick Bush, Jeanne Hoffman, Alexandre Pecking, Sherry Wargo, Pat Thomas, Carl Grafmuller, Patrick Knowles II, Evan Dummit, James Anderson, Giorgio Bianchi, Paul Gilbert, Gabi Lautenbach, and Blake Ebert) have been kind enough to e-mail me either their spreadsheets or their ENTPACK.INI files (one was in the form of a bitmap image!), and Eric Schmidt, Anders Kaseorg, Ruben Spaans, Warwick Anderson, Tom Li, Kris L. (via Mike), Pekka Lassila, John Lewis, and Gary Sutton listed their scores in the newsgroup or my guestbook, so the list has since grown. Thanks also to Tom Li for providing some of the information on this site. There are now at least 51 names on each list for the timed levels. I hope for my site to continue growing.
Although it has nothing to do with Chip's Challenge, I am also a head tournament director on Case's word racer ladder. I'm always welcoming new applications for tournament directors, as there is a shortage at this time.
