Where did Codiac come from?

Here are some secrets about my nickname:

• Why do You use such strange word?
• The whole story is quite complicated. Long, long time ago, when I was still in primary school, I loved to watch cartoons. One of them was titled "Sky Commanders" and my favourite character there was man called Kodiak. I had absolutely no idea how to write it, so I figured out it should be written with two "c"s. A few years later I had an ocassion to play RPG for the first time, and I called my character Codiac. He didn't live long, but it didn't matter. Some time later I started co-working with a computer games magazine called "Top Secret" and it was then, when I decided to sign my texts with this name. On this very day Codiac was born.
  
  
• What does Codiac really mean?
• This word as such has no meaning, I created it by mistake. There is on the other hand word Kodiak, which is the base of my nickname. It has several meanings. There is a kind of bears somewhere in Canada, the biggest bears on Earth, I have heard. There is also an island and a port in Alasca
  
  
• Is there any other Codiac?
• I wish it was so, but unfortunately several other things have been named like this. Fortunately I haven't heard about any person using it as a name or nickname. Most of the other Codiacs are just machines or some specific systems.
  
  
• Your nickname sounds familiar. Why?
• There are several reasons. I've been known to sign my texts in polish computer magazines I was working with. But since You're reading it in english, You have probably not read them. Of course You might know me from Usenet, because I can be found on some newsgroups. My favourite with english language is rec.games.frp.dnd Maybe You know me from there?
