Old-timer #amigan, nowadays quieter.
My name is Amy, I'm 21 yrs. old. I generally just hang in the channel and watch whats going on, every once in a while putting in a comment. I like to watch cartoons with my son, read Robert Jordan books, and I especially love to taunt and just basically annoy Elcee. (I wouldn't try it if i were you)
Inclined toward misanthropy, alleviated by an interest in electronic music. Resident wiseguy, merciless punster, practitioner of 'crazy wisdom'. Hold firm belief that life is a joke, although you have to be there to get it! Diehard Amiga 3000 user, '59er, reprobate, malcontent, hang-gliding trainee. Social value as yet undetermined, taxpayer notwithstanding...
Barlog, known also as Bob, is the Vice-President of the Gateway Amiga Club in St. Louis, Mo. He has an A2000, A3000, and an A4000. Stay Tuned to my web page for some nifty info in the near future.
Jason Fisher, born on March 5, 1980, began computing at the age of 6. Raised on 64BASIC for a few years, then Moria and the evils of modeming at the age of 8. During the winter of 1992, began a local BBS, and shut it 4Q95 due to the acquisition of a clue. I am learning C, playing paintball, and procrastinating. If all goes well, I should be sysadmin of a fairly large system soon. I love both Italian and Mexican fewd. Are we not men? We are Devo.
Hi. I'm David Dahle, and I'm an electronics tech at an electronic manufacturer here in Sioux Falls, SD. As far as hobbies, I like to tinker around with electronics, and I also collect old insulators (those things that used to be on telephone poles). My nick is an abbreviation of a company that made insulators (Brookfield).
Jason Norwood from London, Ontario, Canada. The smaller, more boring version of that city. Short attention span theatre. I might eventually be going back to school to do the multimedia thing. I also play various musical instruments when I can find them. I like designing web sites, doing digital art and riding my bicycle. I wear a long blue coat in the winter and walk.
Uh, I'm one of the bots in the channel. Am I a real AI ? Maybe not, but I'm certainly more clueful than most of the visitors in our channel. My code is based on IrcII, and some parts use perl, too.
Hi! I'm Sami Itkonen, a physics student in the Helsinki University. My main hobbies, besides hanging out with the other weirdoes in #Amiga, include reading good scifi books and anything to do with internet and computers in general.
Feh.
My name is George Coulouris. I'm currently a sophomore at Cornell University. I like programming, and playing with hardware, and networking, and stuff. Check out my homepage for more info.
Dinjiin (formerly the IRCer known as Drizzit) spends his time doing a little bit of everything and a whole lot of something. He hangs out in #Amiga, as he has from its days on the EFNet, gets his ass kicked playing net-games with friends, trashes his black S-10 4x4 wanna-be in the mountains nearby, & goes on 1000 Km wanderlust trips 'just because'. Jasure, jabetcha & bjork bjork bjork!
Do not taunt the Loyd, for his is a highly volatile nature.
Delphine Tomei, the channel's token Goddess/moody bitch... sometimes thinks she's a cat, sometimes a bird, sometimes a fish princess, and sometimes a massage therapist in the desert. It's okay, she takes her medication on a regular basis.
NetBSD/Amiga hack, Multilink author (updates? we don't need no stinking updates! :-)), juggler and, yes, a nightowl (surprise, suprise! :-))
If you have to ask, you don't need to know.
Also known as Fredbot. He is almost omnipresent, and is generally considered to be about 35% human. He has an arbitrary speech limit of 20 words per day, which he may use without warning at any given time. Watch carefully for them.
The picture you see is a bit old...I don't look QUITE as goofy as this, nor do I wear glasses now. Anyway, I'm one of the original group that ditched EFNet to form this channel. Hobbies are 2D and 3D graphics, telecomm, Spelunking (caving), scifi...esp ecially Babylon 5, and Role Playing Games. Links to all this stuff can be found on my page. Be warned that I love to "debate" with people in the channel, sometimes in unorthodox fashion, to break people out of stasis. I also get bored easily, especially with morons.
Amiga 3000 & Warp Engine 40MHz / CV 64 owner. Lots of other stuff too but you'll never know.
Computational linguistics student at the University of Helsinki, Amiga freak, HTML purist, author of HK Fonts 1-7, idler extraordinaire, Unix & X fan, M$ loather, generally nice guy, Mac basher, bastard operator from the hell when needed and what else?
Jkay is a transplanted Northern US yankee bastard, living in the Southern US .. his daily routine includes caring for his 1yr old son, Jkay jr, wiping syrup off his 3000T, picking floppy disks out of his VCR, and keeping knucleheaded morons on the #amiga IRC channel in line. Oh yes .. and he likes tits .. big ones.
Currently not doing anything really productive on the computer, spending most of his time waiting to get out of college, so that he can get a real job and buy a newer system. If doing anything at all, usually writing an arexx script or working on his web pages and stuff...

monkeyboy is a 20 year old English|Anthropology|Computer Science major. he believes in underoos, applepie, and all of that standard american crap. He also enjoys writing poetry and computer applications (and juxtaposing the two in manners that would make any credited programmer or writer lose his god and his lunch).
My name is Dale Broughman, I am a computer artist dealing in 2D graphics and desktop publishing. I like computers, and movies. I am curently a student at Delta College, majoring in Computer Science.
I am a 22 year old (at the time of this writing, 1996) college student attending a relatively unknown university. I major in Computer Science and after 4 years hope to graduate soon. I enjoy, obviously, computers, biking, and cooking among other things I care not disclose here. ;) Unfortunately I do not code on my Amiga; I only code on the PC.
An Amiga dealer with an internet address! YES! You will usually find me on #amiga trying hock whatever's the latest in Amiga technology. If you are in need of something for your machine, just let me know!
Known here as 'nightowl', known in real life as Penny. I'm a 30 year old mother of three. I'm somewhat new to the #Amiga channel that rarely speaks.

Hi. I'm Dan J. Fraser. I'm a second-year computer science student at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontairo, Canada. I spend too much time on IRC, I make web pages (like this one), and I shuffle junk-mail at the local public library to get money. I maintain the channel's main bot, "Bawt," which I wrote from scratch in Perl.
My name is Brian Cerveny; 25 years old, 6'4", 170 lbs. I'm slim but very fit. Favorite hobbies include inline hockey, gardening, music (from opera to industrial), photography, and cooking. I wrote the Grapevine IRC client for Amiga. I work as an embedded systems software engineer at Motorola, working on the controller software and user interface for a GSM cellular network simulator.
Yes, Renze is his real name, and it's not a silent 'e' on the end. He is a Dutchman living in New Zealand (against his will). Renze is currently unemployed, but does a little desktop publishing (also a hobby) for some extra money. He owns an Amiga 4000, an Atari 130XE (nostalgia) and a Sony Playstation (fun). He likes food, movies, reading a good book and IRCing with the weirdos on #amiga.
RobV's real name is Rob Veenman, he was born on 3-Apr-1971 and lives in The Netherlands. Hobby's besides internet are television, programming, cycling and junk food. His degree says electronics engineer but he would rather be a professional programmer.
I'm a Computer Science student at La Laguna University, in Spain. I waste my time on my Amiga, IRC and the remaining time (only a bit) on classes. If I wake up a day with wishes to work, I go to bed immediately and wait a few hours to pass the fever.
Real name is Jeffrey Webster, born Sept. 16, 1969 (yah '69, that joke is OLD) SASCMan picked his name because he once swore by AztecC (huh?), but soon got a clue and moved on to bigger and better development software (SAS/C, get it?) He has owned an Amiga since the A1000. He now owns several A1200's for his business. He has a masters degree in Computer Science, and specializes in custom area network design. (POS, LAN's, and IOC Systems)
With the appropriately dull real name of Mathew Hendry, Scampi is a 22 year old Scottish person with serious motivation problems. When not sleeping, he continues his quest to find the ultimate way of wasting time, and hanging around on Undernet #amiga is about the best candidate he has found yet. At other times he may be found watching TV, drinking tea, reading crappy sci-fi and popular science books, and counting the dots on his room's wallpaper.
Hey. I'm a 20 year old computer-engineering student from Iceland. Most of my free time is taken up by computers, be it my Amiga running AmigaOS/NetBSD or a PC running Win95/NT. I'm on the channel a lot, and when I'm there, I talk a lot, so expect to see me blabber.
Mike is your normal, middle-class 20 year-old American male. He doesn't own an Amiga, nor does he ever plan to, but he does hold a clue when it comes to computers, having obtained a CNA and working with *IX on and off the job. When not on his computer, you can find him doing anything from volunteering for needy causes, to volunteering to down a Dos Equis. Mike is mostly harmless, contrary to popular belief.
um, Hi! and stuff or something. I really have nothing to say about myself. However, if you care to, contact my PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER, Spumoni, and he will like tell you things about me and stuff. or something. uhuhuh.
Hey! I'm Michael Romagna, Culinary school graduate and never to be found musician. Why I am here the world may never know, but I tend to be "somewhat" helpful on the channel at times. I play bass, guitar, and I sing and write. I spend most of my time on the channel getting hassled by the the other regs. ;) Always remember "beer is good food."
radio waves cast senselessly about cling and stutter on barb tipped taunt lines stretched to some sandy infinite horizon. high tension wires rent screaming air molecules locust like and blinking gecko enjoys a noonday fly.
One of the original UL settlers. Likes his gf, jazz music, programming, and being a wiseass. Runs ftp/web site off his amiga, and is engaged in related computer silliness. Also likes perl5 and Unix system administration, which happens to be his job presently. He is also SkyGuy's public relations manager and UL's official "keeper of the Spoo", but will vehemently deny being either if asked directly. Approach with caution, has been known to impale unwary gnoobies.
I like programming have written AlertPatch, DosWedge, Homer, SwazInfo, SwazBlanker, WindowDaemon and a few others. Also interested in X-Files, Red Dwarf and Star Trek (Original). Picture? Ha!
Osma Ahvenlampi, full-time free lance programmer and computer expert, Amiga and Be Geek, belongs to the extreme elite of the channel. Unless you're considered a Cool Person®, don't mess with him. Failure to follow this advice is a risk to your personal safety, or at least will get you kicked.
I am an Amiga developer, and web page author. My current Amiga work includes Digital Quill (commercial text editor) which I am the author of, and ClassAct (commercial GUI kit) which I am the co-author. My day job is as a web master at a local ISP. I also like hockey (Montreal Canadiens!) and Formula-1 racing (Jacques Villeneuve!). If you wanna know more than that, you'll have to come on the channel to talk to me.
You know...sometimes I start wondering what life is really all about...and what truly lies in store for us when we die. But then I drink a lot of beers and it goes away.
Resident armchair warrior and pocket dictator. Currently lives in Chicago (Wheeling), Illinois and works at a medical software firm (Enterprise Systems, Inc.) in the same suburb. Used to be a Political Science major at Indiana University, left once a Real Job(tm) came along.
I am a computer science graduate born in 1974, and am working as a developer in England. I like UNIX (though it must be said that NT is getting there), and will only touch an Amiga if it is running Linux or NetBSD. I have programmed in almost every conceivable language and have a healthy dislike for them all. My favourite pastimes on the channel are giving out unsolicited advice, knowing everything, kicking people who are rude about the British royals, disagreeing with Sibbi and eating raw meat. The rest is classified.
My name is Scott Millson. I am a 22 years old Canadian and damned proud of it. I have a bit of an attitude, so if you don't like that, then screw you! :) Some day I am going to fulfill my life long desire to be a professional truck driver. Woo hoo! What a phuct profession to be in for a computer geek, eh?
