software history:

I guess I wrote my first BASIC-program on the same night I got my first C-64. I still have hundreds of little programs on floppies. After few years I studied the 6510-assembly. By then I made my first demo-effects.. smooth scrolling and rastereffects. However, I never made a whole demo or intro, i was just anxious to know how the effects were done. I will never forget the golden era of C-64.
With Amiga I did miscellaneous stuff. I didn't make any serious code but tried also to make some graphics and tunes. Then I realized I should concentrate on coding :).
When I bought a PC I learned the secrets of C(++) and x86-assembly.

scene history:

In 1994 we formed a group called Ctrl-H with my friend. We were quite lazy and didn't release anything except some utilities. On May 1997 Mr.Sex asked me if I'm interested to join Byterapers. I spent the summer partying with other bytes and at the end of the summer I became an official member of (B). I had a pretty good knowledge about (B) because I have been following the scene happenings for a long time. The first signs of (B) were cracks and intros done by the ex-(B)-twins Python and Rockstar. They used to live in Seinäjoki too so their releases spread quite heavily there.
