Farewell, Enlight!?
I think that now it is no secret
Enlight'97 that was officially failed.
The following two snippet ehokonferentsii
ZX.SPECTRUM, belonging to the "pen" Vladimir Bulchukeya -
coordinator of the Moscow ZxNet, should finally clarify the
root cause of this failure, and also tells you about its
consequences.

Hello!
This Wlodek Black, Vladimir Bulchukey.
Start quote Imperio:
IM> What else was good in that day:
IM> I was dragged, in the toilet with some
IM> guys izrisoval wall paint
IM> diligently foul up the whole floor goby
IM> (at the end of Day 1 Inlayta all 4-th
IM> floor was pelted with empty and broken
IM> bottles of beer, cola, fanta,
IM> packages of potato chips and other dick IM> it)
(End quote, damn ...)
After reading in the 21 th issue of the newspaper "Lprint"
schizophrenic delusions of some Imperio (weakly Subscribe
today, huh?), I, and the whole of Moscow was just shocked and
outraged. Than in fact, boasts Imperio? That
tore Enlight'97?! Because we all know,
that the painted wall in the toilet was
that last straw that broke
patient administration and the Organizing Committee.
Imperio admires the behavior of their pals, a word can not pick
up - as thrown on the floor leftovers sausage, as
drunk and beaten with beer bottles as gadili
cigarette butts everywhere ... Is he a fool? Or he
for it and drove to St. Pete? And after that he lacks the nerve
to call themselves author of some works, donated them to the
Contest! He - not the author of the work. He - the author
Crime, yes, yes, the crimes for
disruption caused to people colossal Festival
material and moral damage. And now,
after it was actually the official recognition of his guilt
(which he at fault is not believes, and flaunts his balloon with
paint, not even as a small, but just
like a fool), we all have the right to bring
his account in full. This idiot did not think he has everything
else and the whole Belarus substitutes, and the sight of
pisishnikov - and all spektrumistov? Now those maliciously
(and, maybe, not maliciously, but just right!) will say: "What
we're talking about? Here it is, a person spektrumistov! As
we've been warned.. "And there will be absolutely right. A if
there is still some wise guy who thinks of kopnet deeper and
hold parallel to the Belarus-Russia?? Known as
difficult to sum Union fraternal peoples. And some "Moskovsky
Komsomolets" raznyuhav about this story, immediately make
"global conclusions, says:" Here, said we, Belarusians can not
be trusted! ". Well, okay, it's already out of the area
fantasy, but for zapodlo that arranged that bastard from
Belarus, it would be necessary something to come up with. It is
clear that neither he nor his sidekick in Moscow did not set
foot on FunTop98. Need to determine the composition of his
"creative" team and publish them so that all the road on any of
the contest was closed. In short, the persona non grata. One
thing I ask: let us at least we spektrumisty not tear
on the rabid. We will not let us condemn the whole of Belarus.
Cattle are everywhere, and us plenty of them. Stisnem teeth and
extend our promotion, Moscow, Festival. Let the guests come and
participants from Belarus. Evil must be punished, but
will not be vengeful. Welcome
all honest parties to Festival! And yet.
I would like to publicly welcome clarification
from the newspaper "Lprint": as _takoy_
material such as paper (c) Imperio, could get into print? After
all, like "Lprint" - a solid, entertaining newspaper that is
pleasant and interesting read ... In general, the question
Seriously ...

Hello, All!
This Wlodek Black, Vladimir Bulchukey.
So I finally got to ehokonferentsii,
that he himself said of the coming into
Moscow Festival spektrumistov. I do not have
direct access to Fido, I share information through the gateway
from Alexey Ivanov, so I can not respond to questions,
opinions, suggestions, and for that I apologize. Firstly, I
want to say a huge thanks to all Muscovites who have supported
subja idea and started a long time and much
embody it in life with me. This,
Of course, Alexey Ivanov, Sergey Novikov it is very, very many
people from ZXNet (095). Yes, and thank you for simply
supported, the same Alex Letaevu, for example.
I have accumulated and continue to collect "clippings" ("Cut")
of each day ehokonferentsii, but the quota specified each
question and answer it I just can not physically. Therefore,
try to generally, but most informative answer all at once. The
first gunshot, "Aurora" :-) with the word "FunTop" sounded from
the pages of Nicron-51. But since not everyone can read it (not
dovsyudu comes newspaper), I remind you what it was all about.
And it said, more precisely, there _tsitirovalsya_ _dokument_
signed and _skreplenny pechatyu_, advising of intent to
in August 1998 spektrumistov festival at Moscow's School 91.
And also the fact that full responsibility for maintaining
order, safety of property and the purity of myself to myself.
Therefore, logically, perhaps, explain here for those who do
not know me, who I am. I work in the 91-th school for 15 years
on days (24 th) will celebrate its 34 anniversary
(I will not refuse to accept congratulations :-)).
So what you're dealing with an adult, also with great
pedagogical experience. In his student years, I organized
discos; working in the school - Bicycle Tours with students,
etc. Here in Moscow - solid team of associates, in contrast to
Peter, where for every platform, said only one person. Study
the mistakes of others, we started with the first days on his
return from Petrograd, and was silent in ehah just because they
do not say ho, until jump.
Skipped. Notified. And hope you
understanding and your support. The work goes on, and
job seriously.
Technology has absolutely everything, and it is not
fail.
Looking at previous demos, where the authors have conveyed
their regards himself Festival ("Enlight'97 - Sensation of the
year! "Etc.), and considering that the authors work, it makes
sense to start now (remember how bright star was late for E'97
- Ecstatic Dub, Rage, The Cube!), I consider it necessary to
close the question about the name of the festival.
FunTop98 proclaimed. Title fits into 8 characters (an obvious
requirement for naming files, folders, archives and
etc. on any platform), it is easy to pronounce in English:
[fan-top, no "Y"! ], It is declining: FT98 or even
F98.

Modems: quick facts
(C) Sergey Filimonov
Hello dear readers of the newspaper
"Optron!
Here, he decided to "sbatsat" a small little article
for this edition. First of all I would like
say that the very appearance of Lviv
e-newspaper is of great importance
Speccy for all users in our region, perhaps even beyond.
Thanks to "Optocouplers" we are all somehow a little bit
"Approached": learn more about each other
(Albeit in absentia), who is doing what, who has what our plans
for the Spectrum and not only what mnogoemnogoe news and more.
As many of you, dear readers, are waiting with impatience the
appearance of CDOS-modems on the market in Lviv, and I, as the
manufacturer of this product, too much "stopping" this process,
so let me explain to you and tell you briefly about modems in
general and the CDOS-modems in particular. Perhaps my story
will open some people eyes to the concept of "modem" and its
real capacity and speed.
The modem at all
You probably already know, dear readers, that suschestvut
"crazy" speed Modem (expensive, of course), for example,
48 kbps (yes, yes, kbit / s, and not
baud, as this is not the same thing, but on
below). Phone as a channel can pass through a frequency of 300
Hz to 3.4 kHz. (I do not know how to Zaporozhye
disseminators of their modems are their
generally to sell, if they claim that
telephone channel transmits the frequency to 5
kHz :-)).
Subjectively, this speed as it turns out: that is, take the
file length in N B or N * 8 bits, send it to the telephone
channel via a modem, note the time of transmission, divide the
length of the file in bits per transmission time in seconds and
get approximately the speed at which it is written in the
instructions to the modem (if not lied), usually less, but no
more.
So how does this happen?
Firstly due to compression of information
secondly, due to signal modulation such
a way that one baud can be
"Shove" two, four, eight bits, and even more, and thirdly, the
use of multi-channel modems. I'll tell you about all of order,
but first you need to explain what all the same different "bit
/ s' from 'baud'.
The notion of 'BPS' I think everything is clear:
modem transmits a file of length N bits in M seconds, its
speed, we first N / M bit / sec.
The term "baud" means the amount of change logic states modem
for a second. That is, for one baud or in one logical state of
the modem can not transmit only one bit, but more (but not
smaller, ie can not be BPS
hanks oiled tow. - You do
pumps and hoses to pump water, and
Guns and hoses. Unwind
they must be careful and not less carefully descend. Those who
will work with Guns, warn specifically: Be extremely careful
and attentive be careful to not get under the stream
none of the people, otherwise it will have to take into
ludshe case to the hospital.
- Did anyone just maim - in a low voice began to moan
Viskonski. - Here look.
- And you guys - Warwick showed a different crowd, which was
also a Hall Viskonski. - You will now head
commands. Divide into pairs. At each
couple - one electric trolley in
which you will remove something that does not suck pump. Is
there anyone who can not use of trolleys?
Nobody raised his hands, though from prolonged
operation of trucks has fallen off nearly
everything that could fall off, except
the basic necessities - including car seats
workers. Warwick went on:
- All the basement should be
thoroughly cleaned by Thursday. In the extreme
case not later than Friday. Does anyone have any questions?
Issues has not been all this time Hall
peered into the face boss and he has somehow emerged a sense
that in soon with Warwick necessarily
should anything happen. And not
just something, but very bad.
This idea is like Hall. Warwick he
to put it mildly, did not like.
- Well, well - finished at this
Warwick. - Then let us begin.
2 am Tuesday.
Hall quickly tired of the never ending chatter Viskonski, and
most of all - from its intolerable whining. "Partner" was
completely incorrigible. He would not help, perhaps even a good
spanking - it would be just another excuse for that in
once again had a good pohnykat.
Hall knew that he was just a little
play pranks nerves and tried to cheer
the thought of how he would otstegal Viskonski strap on his fat
ass naked. Such a terrible whipping him, probably,
simply would have killed. Despite the fact that the picture
painted by the imagination of the Hall turned out pretty funny,
she did not call him a weak smile, even from the very strong
and unpleasant smell, prevailing around - foul-smelling mixture
of smells of stagnant water and rotting, mold, nauseating
reeking of industrial wastes and even God knows what. At the
beginning of corridor, in they were in ran into the Hall
eyes fantastically huge colony of pale grebes, growing straight
out of the collapsing of time and damp concrete.
Accidentally slipping off the rust with zaevshey one gear
trolley, which Hall wanted to crank out his hand for a moment
touched by dense thickets of these fungi. They showed him ...
warm and soft. Their touch was like the touch of a person
suffering from edema skin.
Then place the basement, which contained
Now Hall and Viskonski, had a very high ceiling and was flooded
with a huge old out of service machines, which gave him a
resemblance to some ancient graveyard of ships. Corps of
long-dead machines, like rotten boards old ships were covered
with patches of yellow-green moss. Impression is reinforced
more drifting from somewhere far away noise of the water with
great speed taking off of Guns.
Here, finally, in the field of view appeared
rats. They were incredibly huge,
just huge! .. Normal rats - such as the top - would have seemed
like just dwarfed by those monsters!
Nearly motionless, they watched as streams of water washes away
their homes - boxes, boxes, large tin cases, piles
paper and paperboard. Their eyes were huge,
bulging, and almost nothing to the blind because they have
lived all my life in darkness.
- Let's stop and a smoke - a trembling voice suggested
Viskonski, quite having lost the breath of fear.
Smoke was really handy. Hall
leaned against a trolley and pulled out his cigarette, holding
out a trembling fear Viskonski.
- If you like to know before that we are here waiting, I
never would have given Warwick persuade me to such madness -
convulsive inhaling, moaned Viskonski. - This
rebota not for man! But he ran into
I like crazy just at the moment,
when I decided a few minutes to take a nap,
yet there was no work. He was just mad
and I thought he just will beat me.
Hall listened to this talk in silence, but also
thinking of Warwick. About Warwick ... and rats.
Thought about them a sort of horribly intertwined in his mind,
forming an indivisible whole.
Apparently, rats saw the people first. They seemed to treat
their appearance perfectly calm. Suddenly one of the They stood
on their hind legs like a squirrel, and, ready to attack,
suddenly rushed toward the Hall. Acute she fixed her teeth into
a thick, fortunately, and rough skin of his left work boot. In
some negligible fraction of a second-Hall
finally realized that these monsters are not
hundreds or even thousands, and many more.
He remembered, and what terrible disease
carried by these creatures. In the following
moment, without thinking too much, he
sudden and severe blow right foot, threw a loud rat
vzvizgnuvshuyu far darkness.
On the scene wide open
Viskonski eyes again began to whimper trembling
from the fear of voice:
- I need de-e-ngi! .. But by golly,
buddy, this work is not for man! What creepy critters! ..
All the while he continued to look fearfully around, tugging
at every second head:
- I think they understand things are not
worse than we are with you ... and imagine that
it would be if we were little, and
They, on the contrary, large ...
- Shut up! - Cut him off sharply shouting
Hall.
Viskonski priumolk at the time and alarm
looking at his running mate said
only:
- Well, sorry, pal. I just ...
A few seconds passed in almost complete
silence. Suddenly a shrill hysterical screams Viskonski finally
emerged from the equilibrium:
- Lord, what is there to stink! I can not
so! This work is not for man!
Closing his eyes, he frantically shook truck, grabbing it
with both hands.
Hall very much going to weigh him a good slap in the face,
but suddenly out on the trolley hand Viskonski crawled a huge
black spider. Immediately stopping to yell, poor Harry froze
and stared at the spider is widely open eyes in horror. A few
seconds passed before he realized that the spider be reset.
Hairy monster fell to the rail with a sudden loud thud than
plunged an already frightened to death Viskonski in profound
shock, by which he finally stopped.
Apparently, a long time.
- Come on - bring him out of his stupor Hall.
The faster the start, the faster finish.
- Hope - mumbled barely listening to
Viskonski language. - I hope ...
4 am Tuesday.
Break for breakfast.
Hall and Viskonski together with two or three other men with
no appetite chew their sandwiches, keeping them from black
mail indelible dirty hands. It was impossible to wash off
before the end even with the strong resources, which in plant
was enough. Hall, eating, looking at the chief's desk, behind
the glass which absorbs Warwick with an appetite for cold
sandwiches, drank hot coffee.
- Ray Upson no longer wants to work and
went home - he heard the voice of Charlie
Broach.
- Can not cope with the nausea? - Someone asked. - Me too,
just not throwing first.
- No. Before he vomited, his
greatly injures the rat. Just razterzala
him almost the entire right hand, until it was
nail.
- Oh! - Surprise Hall, tearing eyes
of Warwick, who has rozglyadyval before.
- Yes, - nodded Broach. - I was with
them in one pair, and what I saw was
one of the most horrible things I've ever seen in my life. Rat,
this was perhaps even more than the cat. One
jump she tightly clutched in his hand
teeth and claws and furiously began to tear the meat so that
only the pieces flew. Ray screamed like a woman, and I do not
condemn him for it. Even there - he squeal like a pig, which is
cut. And do you think the thing unhooked from it? No, guys!
I had three or four times its deal a blow
sound board, before they could tear her away from Ray. The guy
just went crazy. He grabbed my board and beat it in the rat
until until it turned into bloody shreds of wool. Warwick had
bandaged his arm and sent home, telling right from morning to
see a doctor.
- You bastard - he heard a voice.
Pretends to be pious.
Warwick, as if he heard what was said, drank coffee,
stretched, and walked out of the desk out.
- It's time for work, guys.
7 am Tuesday.
Hall and climbed out viskonski
make. Looking at this fine mentality, fat,
Hall was surprised to find myself thinking about
that they are starting to become like
each other. Like a strange and
almost imperceptibly. Viskonski, sadly
taschivshiysya behind, was comically dirty. His
fat face was grubby - just like
boys who got in a good
a street brawl.
People went dark silent crowd. Not
could be heard even normal for this time of coarse jokes like
that, who warmed Today, Tony's wife while her husband
faithfully procured dollars to the family budget. Nebylo heard
nothing, except tired stamping dozen feet. From time
time someone spat in disgust
on, and without that, terribly dirty floor.
- If you like, you tossed to the house? - Asked hesitantly
Hall Viskonski.
- Thank you.
For all the time, as they drove, they were not exchanged a
single word. Just threw each other, "yet", when Hall went out of
machine.
Hall immediately went home to shower, all
still thinking about Warwick and trying to understand
why the thought of this man pursue
it so obsessively, and even almost constantly.
Hall was so exhausted that sleep
immediately, as soon as his head touched the pillow, but sleep
was very bad and troublesome: he dreamed of rats.
To be continued ...
