Jeffrey T. Darlington

From FaultieCircuitWiki

Jeffrey T. Darlington is the creator of General Protection Fault and one heck of a nice guy (there goes the objective part of this wiki). He appeared briefly in the comic when confronted by Nicholas Wellington during the Y2K: The Phantom Menace storyline.

From the About GPF Page:

Jeff Darlington crash-landed on the planet Earth near Beckley, WV, USA, in May of 1974. Adopted by a kind, loving couple, he was raised into human society and treated as one of their own, despite his occasional tendency to drink Drano. While excelling in education and amazing his instructors, he never could seem to get himself a date. He graduated from high school in 1992 and was accepted at West Virginia University Institute of Technology, determined to become a chemical engineer. Two years later, he realized that chemical engineering wasn't his calling (and he didn't want to make vast quantities of ammonia for the rest of his life), so he changed his major to computer science and graduated in 1997. He was quickly hired by IBM Global Services, despite his annoying lack of ability to do anything productive. In June of 1998, he married his one and only love, his beloved Keri.

Jeff began drawing at an early age, scrawling demented stick figures on church bulletins and any other spare piece of paper. In 1985, he created his first original comic book character, which he eventually plans to publish. Currently, the closets in both his parents' house and his own home are filled with several forests worth of sketches and drawings, each of which he claims he will "finally do something with that some day." He has no formal art training aside from classes taken in high school, but somehow still thinks that he has something worth giving to the world. General Protection Fault is his first official attempt at publishing.

Jeff has created several other web sites, the most notorious being Apocalypse Pete's Web Page of Mirth and Mayhem!, which has sadly passed on into the cyberether voids.

Additional info

Jeff's first son, Benjamin Thomas Darlington, was born on August 13, 2006. He was born by c-section three weeks early. The birth came only days after Jeff and Keri moved to West Virginia. [1] The move and Benjamin's early birth are factors in G.P.F.'s current hiatus.
