Lanttu
Iisalmi.
Member since 1987.
Coder, hw-huru-ukko, hitman, mascot.
Byterapers specialism: total drinker
Lanttu's career started already far back in time, when he closely followed the early Byterapers career. He wasn't exactly a member, since his computer equipment consisted of top-of-the-line Spectrum 48K and Triumph Alphatronic, but since he was a fit fellow anyway he crawled around in form of a mascot. Finally around 1994 he managed to buy an Amiga, and started immediately coding on a real computer and actually learned stuff very quickly. Unfortunately there was always those couple compability problems in getting his stuff working on AGA machines, and finally more time was spent tracking screenmode bugs than developing. That kinda killed the interest. Or not really killed, but slowed him down and then the focken Finnish army came and kidnapped him.After returning from army Lanttu based himself fittingly into PC platform and has been learning PC coding secrets since. Though, the results and pace varied kinda a huge bitbat. Right now Lanttu is more working on game projects than demos but heck that's no forever oh my not forever.
Lanttu is small sized fella, with terribly active imagination and unhealthy interest in the workings of world. Give him interesting looking mechanical toy and it's disassembled in few moments, Lanttu jumping in joy joy happy happy "look how funny gears." His ability to repair broken stuff is marvellous, from kitchen sinks to videos.
Lanttu says it all by himself:

Me say somenthing about I:
- I know what things does but i don't know names.
- My way to think logical is slow and thorough but still weird.
- SUPER absent-minded.
- If I don't know, I'll find the answer.(And if i know, i don't probably like it)
- If i decide to do something, I CAN'T give up.(ie. Amiga hd-adapter. 3 days and nights without sleeping, 5 versions of it (and it didn't work because hd was broken and then I burned the adapter and my two fingers.)
Someday somewhere:
Somebody: It's three o'clock. Maybe we should go.
Me: What?
Somebody: I said it's three o'clock. We should go now.
Me: Yeah, Wait a second...
Me: What time it is.
Somebody: THREE O'CLOCK!
Me: Really, Maybe we should go. Do you have the disk?
Somebody: YOU'VE GOT IT!
Me: Oh, Where is it. HEY YOU, have you seen king of blue disk.
