About me
I'm Shamus Peveril. This is my website.
I like to program, write, and draw. Designing and building video games is a nice coming together of all of these things, and I've been doing that since I was quite young. I also enjoy a good session of tabletop gaming of a variety of sorts, and I have more books than is probably considered strictly reasonable.
Professionally, I am a trained programmer. In 2006, I received a Bachelor's of Computer Science from Dalhousie University, and then in 2008, I co-founded North Knight Software Inc. We did custom software development for cool people and a bit on cool stuff of our own; sadly, after about a year and a half we stopped doing active work under North Knight. I am now at theREDspace, where I primarily do web development for new cool clients.

About this site
I've had a website since before most people did, when it really just made you a huge nerd. It's since become much more fashionable, though I admit that I am still a huge nerd.
This incarnation of my site was built in mid-late 2009, and is built on top of the Django framework, which is really nice even though I don't love Python. Hosting is provided by A Small Orange which is a pretty decent host in my experience.
