More about me

Are you curious who the weird fellow that created this website is? That curiosity can be cured, I have created a page with information about me. I have a blog where I post various technobabble in:

• Memories of childhood (2024-03-19)
• Adding a Mastodon feed to a static HTML site (2023-12-18)
• Moving a website to a new host (2023-12-18)
• On the futility of using Microsoft as an email provider (2023-01-23)
• Anything can be imported to WordPress (2022-12-09)

These days I hang around on social media, like everyone else. I can be found on both Mastodon at Vivaldi Social and on Facebook. A few times a year pictures I take end up on Instagram, but don't hold your breath. Here are my latest toots on Mastodon:

• Boost @schizanon@mastodon.social (2024-09-15):
  The things you claim are now "pandering to the lefties" were never on your side, to begin with.
  If you consider yourself a fan of these things, but you still think the #LGBTQ+ community is too "in your face", or have a problem with #BlackLivesMatter, or want to "take the country back from immigrants", then you're not really a fan at all.
  Geek culture isn't suddenly #leftwing... it always was.
  You just grew up to be intolerant. You became the villain in the stories you used to love.
• Boost @schizanon@mastodon.social (2024-09-15):
  If you're upset that there's a black #SpiderMan or a female #Thor, or that Ms. Marvel is #Muslim, or that Captain Marvel was pro- #feminism or any of the other things #rightwing "fans" say is "stealing their childhood" you never got it in the first place.
  The stories we grew up with all taught us to value other people and cultures and to treasure the differences between us. Only villains were xenophobic, or sexist, or racist, or totalitarian. I can't understand how anyone can have missed that.
• Boost @schizanon@mastodon.social (2024-09-15):
  * #StanLee said, "#Racism and #bigotry are among the deadliest social ills plaguing. the world today." If you're bigoted or #racist, you didn't get any of the characters Stan Lee created.
  * #StarTrek is about #equality for all genders, races and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a #prochoice stance and defending #women's right to choose. (It's also anti-#capitalist and pro-#vegan). If you didn't get that, you didn't get Star Trek.
• Boost @schizanon@mastodon.social (2024-09-15):
  * #DoctorWho was about an alien-fighting for all of humanity in spite of totalitarian regimes. If you don't get that, you don't get Doctor Who.
  * #Deadpool is #queer. He's #pansexual. Fact. If you didn't get that you didn't get Deadpool.
  * #Superman and #WonderWoman (and a whole host of other #superheroes) are #immigrants. The stance of those comics is pro-#immigration and pro-equality and acceptance. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Superman or Wonder Woman.
• Boost @schizanon@mastodon.social (2024-09-15):
  * #XMen is about #civilrights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get X-Men.
  * #BlackPanther is about civil rights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Black Panther.
  * #CaptainAmerica literally fought #Nazis. He is the embodiment of fighting the #altRight. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Captain America.
  * The Empire in #StarWars is #fascist. The Rebel alliance is #AntiFa. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Star Wars.

These pages are written to conform to the standards for web pages, if you have a web browser that does not handle these correct you may run into problems. I regularly test the pages in Vivaldi and Lynx.

Wrestling

I'm a fan of wrestling , and I maintain American Wrestling Trivia with results from American pro-wrestling. If you are interested in American wrestling, then this site is sure worth taking a look at! I have got results from main events of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), All Elite Wrestling (AEW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) dating back as far as to 1985.

Computers

I'm also a programmer, and some of the software I've written I have made available for download here. Some is also available on GitHub. Some of my other creations include my web games, which are available on-line for your pleasure.

The first computer I owned myself was a Commodore 64, which I still have. A part of my website is devoted to Commodore eight-bit machines, and among the stuff available there is an on-line version of my old PD library, some scanned version of old cool ads about Commodore machines, the home page of the now defunct Swedish non-profit Commodore magazine Åtta Bitar (Eight bits), for which I wrote a few articles, something I've continued to do for other magazines, such as Go64.

I was active on FidoNet between 1994 and the beginning of the 2000s. For the Swedish Fidonet audience, I have a page devoted to the yearly Swedish Fidonet convention SupCon. Up until 2000 I posted FAQ documents in several Fidonet echoes.

Miscellaneous

On the web, one can find information on everything and nothing. I was thus surprised when I noticed that I could not find any website about the fine old collectors' card game SuperTrumf from the mid 1980s. Well, that problem was easy to fix, and you can see the result yourself.

I have more unsorted pages available, plus a couple of pages that no longer get updated.

More about Softwolves

“Softwolves, what the heck is that?” you might ask. Well, mainly is the name I use for software I write, but when I decided to register my own domain, I thought that it would be a cool domain name, so that is why this site is now known as the Softwolves site. The name has its root back in my Commodore 64 days, when I thought that I should have a "cool" handle and group name to write my programs under, just like all the cool hackers/crackers did. Softwolves was the best I could come up with (and, believe me, if you knew the other ones I invented, you would agree...) But, it doesn't really mean anything... :-)
