T and x and I e n a and n and I
or
Bill Gilbert secret revealed!
Maybe someone already guessed whom will now
speech, and maybe someone has not heard much about this name
Bill Gilbert (Bill Gilbert), well, or his alias. A fact
such as strange or there or they all the same a little. I think
not would be superfluous to recall who is it - Bill Gilbert.
I'll let themselves again, to philosophize, if the reader does
not mind. I do not impose anybody nizhenapisannoe but harmless
when you know.
Anyone who has ever played in the band toys and watched
their load could see almost the same labels in different
variations: Cracked by Bill Gilbert in curly frame, Bill
Giblert or too easy (C) BG * 1987'88'91 ... All of you
certainly is remember very well. And everyone was asked
questions by their professionalism and ability to communicate
with SPECCY, such as: "Is this all produced a single person?
Who is this mysterious BG? What does it mean "Cracked by Bill
Gilbert"? And if not for the sake of profit that broke BG good
program working? Oh, how bad this BG - hacked into someone
else's work and messed up quality version, and I have to it all
restore! "Some people admired his" work ", others - criticized
as they could not spare their nerves.
Gone are those, I think, very warm and lovely denechki
1991-93 years, and for someone they were in 1994. Then no one
in the the majority did not think about the future difficulties
with the software ... When come this time - more proof were not
looking for anything on SPECCY. Their lot - resuscitation and
maintenance of the platform. Most game programs were imprint
BG. Some thought that it is insulting to the product brand, the
other - let stigma, but MB thanks to him in the USSR (ex-USSR)
were the program. Proved to be right and both.
When he returned five years ago, look at the ZX-Review -
talk about the BG, even a series of articles about his methods
of coding. Well, unless it is bad? No, the opposite. Even I, as
a professional spectrumer, grew in part on such articles. Most
had learned from his example, because its programs were in
"each" house. So who he is - a passive teacher, unaware of
their students, or A self-taught hacker that is an symbol of a
generation spectrum users early 90's and professionals today?
Question inherently rhetorical. He is a symbol, but rather is a
"leader" of the hacker scene in Europe, if I may so call it.
Well Who knows more work is not his code than hacked it, eh?
Therefore, he is so well known-unknown. Everyone knows him as a
man clearly related to the coding or hacking fraternity. The
degree of knowledge, purely for my vzlyad, had a high rate yet
due to the fact that he just broke quite popular in the later
program. Here's an example: Game Over 1'2, Death Wish 3
Obliterator, Iron Man, Barbarian 3, Super Kid, I'Ball 2. Well,
Do not you agree that this kind of masterpieces, in the sense
of original ideas!? This is one side. Another part of the
people thought it was a whole team of "viewers" who eagerly,
staring up resistors in the eyes, hard, in 3 shifts, breaking
the flow of the conveyor (read multifeysnym) using the latest
programs West !!!!! Well what can I say - figuratively
speaking, it is. In fact, he worked on a conveyor SPECCY, but
it is possible that had the FDD, as present in its results for
phrases like Disked by Bill Gilbert. But here's what he had OS
- a mystery.
A volume of his works envy any drummer working days of
industrialization and collectivization. By the above, I can
give a counterargument. Perhaps his "Stakanovites" was
associated with the fact that he "cracked" ready-made and
broken before his release, who came to Poland from Germany,
Czechoslovakia, Golladnii. Unlikely can be argued that BG had
branded versions of the defense. After Reach branded tape or
diskette with the software to Poland, her would vzlamali
cultured than you can see in his Krakow. What the number of
burglaries is amazing, did not give him Plus the fact that he
was "diskoval" dumped magic-suxx-button igrunki. Or maybe he
does from some Polish countryside, where program could get only
maiming and he, therefore, from Fountain and lobotryasnichestva
remixes ...
Wait, you cry, why, strictly speaking
BG must be from Poland. Few, perhaps, speculation on his
citizenship? Yes, I agree. Inforkom too lost in conjecture,
recalling that he (they, it), maybe from Holland or Germany.
Actually, maybe if it's not a group of people and not a man, it
really woman? Well, what can I say, I'm no expert, and
personally do not BG sign. 99.9% claim to be it's not black and
not a woman, not Michael Jackson, not Philip and William
Clinton, and certainly, not Margaret Thatcher with Madeleine
Oldbrayt, the more not a leader of the group "Aquarium".
Although, I have a suspicion falls on a strange type of ... -
Bill Gates! (Initials first and last names match).
Enough, I think speculation.
When I went through nostalgichno old demos, I thought I
discovered who the Bill Gilbert. I think that I do not
discovered America, and immediately tell what was wrong. Do not
worry, that take your time boltavney ...
Musical demonstration Pentagram Vidio Screnn Show, Year
Release 1991, (c) 1991 by Pentagram, Polsha. Re diskovana
KidsonSoft corp. '95, Extended once Inforkomom. Itself
programm course without kodernyh effects, but for 91 years
digitize graphics look cool. There, in the demo, show pictures
of programmers from the PTM. Oposlya beginning, MB 15 minutes
later, when the demo came to an end, the screen began to
display a group of pictures. And what we see, but that - the
last image and flawless bottom corner ... He makes it clear! I
will say more - no other references to other bill'ov I'm not
Polish releases found. Most often it is just and there are
links to some RAJSOFT'ovskoe environment, where observed under
review copy.

I think you all clear, and you will come additional
ideimysli. If you have not seen this picture, but you have this
demo, it means you are ill, see the demo ... But I have looked
at STS'om - For expediting
Outcome: BG, aka Bill Gilbert - a Pole, a hacker who works
in alone, because has no prefix''', one of the most
well-known-unknown hacker in the world Speccy. Bolen popular
disease in the Bulgarians and the Poles themselves - to engage
in piracy.
P.S. publication of the article is associated with more
frequent discussions in fido are about personality BG, well,
and to clarify the situation and put a cross on the matter.
However, the author does not exclude the appearance of new
speculations, if only their arguments were well understood.
