For years, starting with when I was much younger and foolisher, I’ve been known online as MadCoder42. MadCoder was already taken so I tacked on the 42 as it’s the answer to everything.

For several years now I’ve been listening to KALC (Alice 105.9) here in Denver, especially to the morning show. For a while they were using AIM to allow you to talk to them. I’m not sure why they stopped doing that, but I think it was network issues.

So, while the show was on I’d be sending in commentary on the show, occasionally getting a reply or two.

Then one day something I said hit a chord with Howie and he mentioned me on air. With Howie’s ever present careful analysis of whatever he reads he transformed “Mad Coder” into “Mad Cooter”. I, of course, sent in a response right away, but it mattered not. I was now know as Mad Cooter on Alice.

So, giving in to the inevitable, I started sending them emails (once AIM went offline for them) with the Mad Cooter signature block.

I got to sit in the studio once for about the last 10 minutes of the show and met them all. I still get occasional air time, but I get frequent responses to email. Once, one of my suggested Headlines was used by Howie.
It’s a fun show to interact with. You should listen.

You can listen to them by going to http://alice1059.com and navigating through to the “Listen Live” link.
