Quietust

Who is Quietust?

He's a 24-year old human male who, among other things, is interested in the way the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System works.

What sort of stuff has he done?

All sorts of stuff.
He once released the 7th version of a mIRC script called ircN.
Later, he and a friend took a poorly coded web-based strategy game, rewrote it completely, and released it as QM Promisance.
Somewhere along the line, he took the remains of a half-written NES emulator (called NinthStar), rewrote it completely, and released Nintendulator.

Has he ever written anything completely from scratch?

A few things, but not of much interest. He seems to enjoy taking software started by other people, improving it, and then releasing it. Mind you, he always mentions the authors of the original program, never claiming the work as entirely his own.

Has he done any timeattacks on this site?

For a long time, he didn't quite have the level of patience necessary to do a perfect timeattack. That changed, however, after some poor quality submissions of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 prompted him to try timeattacking the game himself.

He actually managed to do fairly well, beating most of the existing records on each level, but wasn't perfectly accurate (especially on the earlier levels, where he was still getting used to slow-motion).

Dissatisfied with his initial attempt, he tried again and managed to succeed. Of course, his run was beaten 16 months later by nearly 2 minutes.

So, what else does he do here?

Originally, he was just a normal user, downloading the movies and playing them for entertainment.
Then he learned that Famtasia had movie support with re-recording and that his own emulator did not, prompting him to add support for it.
After making some minor complaints about the content of some of the pages, Bisqwit made him an editor and told him to fix the problems himself, so he did.
What will happen next? Only time will tell...

Where can I contact this 'Quietust' person?

You could try emailing him, but he's rather busy and probably wouldn't catch it.

Your best bet is probably to find him on IRC. He's almost always on irc.freenode.net in #nesvideos for the occasional speedrun discussions. He generally prefers to use the nickname _Q.

Anything else?

Not particularly.
