Yo Hector! Great to see you and the other dudes around. I'm up in Montreal now as Head of Games & Apps at a mobile company. You're right - I was in Europe for some years, but returned to the States work on some console projects. I'll be returning to the California sun in June.
I remember one of our first in-person meetings at one of the Duck Meets. All of the dudes were there - Eclipse, Raster Blaster, TGG, Blackhawk, Alchemist, etc. We were watching the FIG Contest Demo in awe.. I also remember the Venom girls on the VMB (: Still funny to this day. |

Good to see everyone again! Man, it's been a long time. I thought for sure I'd never hear any of these handles again. I also never thought I'd hear the terms 'lamer' or 'phreaking' again either. LOL....

Damn, if we could get some of the old US sceners in here. Shit, I'm 39 years old, have a 5 year old son. I own a few companies in Portland, Oregon. Unix Systems Engineering, Unix System Administrators, and PDX Managed Data Solutions. They're all under the umbrella of a single corporation but I do work for myself. Most of my work these days is architecting high end high data throughput hardware solutions based on Sun Microsystems hardware (I built Symantecs Globalization site, built Filenets labs, and installed the Systems Security Infrastructure (HP Openview and that whole suite of products, OVO etc) at the NASA installation at Moffett Field, CA. I still do a shit load of programming too. Mostly PHP front facing interfaces to backend MySQL databases.
It's so ironic; all of us guys who did nothing but hack Unix and pirate games, have become successful (ok, semi successful) system engineers, security consultants, software engineers, etc etc.
See mom, those days and nights and weeks, and months, and years and decades on the c64 DID pay off. :)
Oh well, I need to get severely stoned, drink some coffee, and probably take a nap. But who knows. My love of programming still keeps me up for days at a time. I've got to go finish converting a php4 based site to php5. Fucking a major rewrite. mysql_connect() + mysql_select_db() vs mysqli_connect() and all that other crap; why didn't they make php5 backwards compatible? Fuckers. It would probably take less time to recode the entire 600 lines.
Oh well, I'm going off on a rant again...
I'm outta here.
Ron!

Asterix - You, you were a lamer. I think you just wanted to war with me because I warred with the best.
Flyboy - Hey
These are just the names I see here. I spoke the Elric/FBR (short lived FBR member I brought into the group back in the day. Grim Reaper and I still talk. The Shadow kept calling me last year wanting to start a C64 group. What a loser. Stan/WareWolf/XDS, Dropped off the map. Goldfish, god, we spend a lot of time on the phone. Hmmm, who else can I think of that I don't see. Jimmy'Z, the sysop of the best c64 board ever. Raster Blaster and Mandrake, where the hell are you guys? Horizon and Pudwerx, another couple of homies. Master Kracker, where the fuck is John? The Shark, no comment, though we talk every 10 years or so. The Green Griiffon, you're lucky I even mention you. Booze, you were too talented for your company, but then, I did become good friends with Empire members, even though I castrated them on the boards (had to keep appearances up :)). Hmm, who else, Tom/Beastie Boys, why did you steal my trainer code and give yourself credit? Excel/Ikari, god you were lame. Weetibix, not too many older than you. Strider/Fairlight, you goddamn AT&T whore. Leaving us for INC was lame. The Pimp/USA, better forgotten. Billy the Kid/The Alliance; you made me elite. Oahawhool, heeeeeyyyy duuuuude; we made FBR great, round 2, many many many thanks to Infernal, Microman, Ninja, Invincible Importer, and Death Demon.
Oh crap, this has brought me back. I have just started an article for Recollections in a text editor in another window. Jazzcat, you will get it soon, and it will be chock full of information, plus some of the information you want. I have been reminiscing for the past couple of hours, and my hands just started to write a long article.
Maybe I'll even finally finish the article for Andreas Walstrom tonight or tomorrow.
Okay, I'm off, I've got shit to write, and some FBR history to correct.

I do remember The Bit Bandit on Apple ][, but it wasn't me. I actually took my handle from an old old old (83, 84) USA crack group called The Bandit Brothers. I liked the initials and modified it slightly. I didn't have a brother or a could enough friend with the same interests and it would have been kinda lame to call myself the The Bandit Brothers.

I saw the name Reverb above. We became good friends. He knew practically nobody at the time (91 or 92) and I helped him get his foot in the door as far as the Elite world. He was and awesome musician and I have some of his early stuff he made for intros which probably no one has even heard.
