Older Addresses

Bulletin Board Systems and KOM Systems

I was usually known as "mc" or simply "Cardell" during the BBS days of the 1980s.

Some of the BBS'es I frequented in 1985 to ~1989 were:

For a while during that time I had my own BBS using my own software running during evenings and nights in the 0650 area code.

1990 to ~1992 I was fairly active on

After that, I set up The Hackmachine BBS, later known as IBKOM, on a Sun 3/60 and later a DIAB DS/90. The UUCP node name was closet.

User "foo" on The Hackmachine and IBKOM was known via UUCP as closet!foo via lysator.liu.se. Contact me if you were one of my old users.

I used to have a user at a DEC 2065 called AIDA in Uppsala. I was participating in the KOMv6 HACKOM and AIDAKOM at the end of their lives.

I'm still available as MC on modern day KOM conference systems such as the LysKOM servers at Lysator, CD-KOM and SnoppKOM.

Occasionally I log into the Sklommon conference system.

Fidonet

I was available on many Fidonet nodes in the 1980s, but I think this was the most used address: Mikael Cardell, 2:205/223, IIRC.

SUNET DECNET

My first official DECNET mail address on the SUNET DECNET was ANGELA::CARDELL, but I was reachable by DEC MAIL in the late 1980s. Does anyone remember those days?

ANGELA was a large VAX at Ctrl-C.

Internet Relay Chat

When I was first active on IRC in, I believe, 1991, I used the nick Teakettle. I was usually on #sweden and #tea on the single IRC network at the time. Before that, I was usually on plus channels.

I have since been visiting the EFNET and the Freenode IRC networks occassionally, usually using the nick Stavrogin.

Multi-user Dungeon/Dimension

I used to play the LPMUD known as NannyMUD for some time in 1991. My character there was known as Teakettle.

I was active in the MediaMOO of the MIT Media Laboratory for a while, perhaps in 1993? I believe my character there was called Teakettle as well, but I also had a character called Mumrik. I usually hung around the Future Culture crowd.

Of course, I visited many other MUDs as well, but I was not present as much on them. Mizar at Uppsala University and Genesis at Chalmers comes to mind.

Web Communities

I've been somewhat active on the Helgon.net web community for Swedish goths. I started out as Stavrogin, deleted my user profile and came back as Mersault, deleted it again, then came back as Freudedivision, deleted it yet again and came back as KamratS and then changed that name back into Stavrogin. Phew.

I was also active on the Lunarstorm community some years ago, perhaps from 2001 to 2002. I was known there as Stavrogin.

You can get a shiny green point if you figure out where all the names came from.

I really don't like web communities, mostly because of the tedious amounts of response time, but I guess I'm the curious type...

UUCP and Internet

In chronological order from 1990(?) to the present:
