Ex member of : Bodycount, Computer Piracy Group, Tassie Tigers (1988 -> 1989)
Function : Swapper
Handle alternative spelling :
Carcuss
Handlestory :
A little handle I used pre-1988. I revived it for a short time after I became 'Jazzcat', but then opted to keep Jazzcat as I became sick of it.
Trivia :
Interestingly I began my relationship with the scene in a more obscure way than the usual scener, as Hacker/Phreaker and a member of the North American H/P community (I seldom chatted with Aussie H/P's back in those days). Of course, like most, I started playing games to begin with, but soon started meddling with other things; conferences, systems, boards, social engineering and calls to foreign countries to people with similar interests was fascinating for me (late 1980s). I started swapping and progressed to the status of Mega-Swapper (200+ contacts) (early-mid 1990s). Due to my connections with the English game companies, I soon became a very popular Original Supplier (supplying in excess of 300 'first release' originals); this was perhaps my second most important role as a member of a cracking group (the first being H/P and supplying my group 'calling codes').
The other main tasks I have performed is organiser (Public Relations and Management), Magazine Editor (Wetworks, Vandalism, Domination, The Pulse, Scene+, Driven, Recollection as well as non-scene publications such as ZZAP! 64 and ZZAP! AMIGA), co-sysop of Down by Law, The Pirate Island, The DeadZone, Sanitarium and several other C64 bulletin boards. Also HTML-slave with updates to scene sites on the internet (The Forbidden Depths, Ultimate C64 Scene Mag Archive and Recollection Online) and graphician (did quite a lot of graphics in my younger days, including some paper art in the form of disk covers and votesheets).
