Xeh, quite a while, I'm not clocked:). News, as you
understand, after last issue, there is sufficient
many (and at my typewriter and even managed to finish the
130-megabyte broom ...). But many of them are already outdated,
and was published during this time Spectrum Press in moemu
always about all described in detail ->. So, I will not repeat
...
Skip to current events, namely the upcoming demopati. As we
know, this year to prepare them in at least three: Funtop,
Doxycon and Chaos Construction. SS was moved to later date;),
and FT, and DC will be held later this month. Doxycon will be
held in northern Bohemia in the small town Doksy, that 70 km
from Prague. The main organizer is the party of all known
group: ESA (Excellent Speccy Aces). According to preliminary
information is expected about 80 participants from the Czech
Republic, Slovakia and Poland. There is every reason to believe
that this party will be the most large-scale event in these
countries, as is expected to attend virtually all known groups
and scenery: ESA, K3L, OMEGA, Naughty Crew, 8BC, TGM, ZeroTeam,
Busy, Noro, Astex, Baze, WWW, DcPak, DemoCompo well and now is
of great interest only spectrum world. During the voting
(voting) members will determine Best all-time work and
certainly will appreciate the new demo. The widely circulated
in the spring of Internet invitation clearly obgovereny all the
details of Doxycon, such as rules com:), travel, accommodation,
meals, cash costs. By an irony fate;) Doxycon held on school
premises at Komensky's street, well located near the square.
Party will be 3 days will begin on Friday 14 August at 10:00
and officially completed in Sunday 16 th to 15 hours. The
participants had before school offers 4 small class room,
dining room, showers and a gym:). There are however some
problems with the hardware part because the spectrum clone
participants rather different. It was therefore proposed to
take them with you;). Also (translate), please do not forget to
bring along:
- 100 euros ($ 3) for organizational costs (travel from Prague
would cost $ 1.5);
- Ssoboyku for two days (or money for Meals: cheap Resto
ranchik nearby - across the street);
- Sleeping bags or blankets (if someone wants to sleep);
- Extension cords and adapters (although some pieces are
already there); - Your DEMO-specific Doxycon'a (although this
is not
prerequisite) ;-)
- Money on the way back (Ars: there was not an emoticon)
- Her friends, too can take with them, but not guaranteed
that they will not be bored ;-)

Apparently, the organizers of Doxy, give participants ability
to make some freedom of action, moreover, they count on their
help and even rely on it. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that
the party will be successful because the participants
themselves will provide its execution and collaboration with
the organizers already discussed and decided the whole range of
issues. Discussed by the way, with the help of IRC - modern and
indispensable means of communication. And the only thing that
saddens Doxycon'a participants, so this is that in the absence
of this place Internet, they can not share the joy of
communication with those who can not attend, Although very much
wanted to be there in Doksy, among his friends. After all, if
possible, anyone who has been to the IRC in these days, would
have been there, in distant Bohemia, along with everyone. And
this not just words, because IRC - not just some computer out
there program, it is - a life with all the feelings, emotions,
feelings, is a source of moral support, without which it would
be Spectrum in many countries had long been dead.
Xeh, so I turned down:)
· · Commercial Break · ·
Ars: This number RIP'a, you are now reading, has appeared in
thanks to IRC. Fatality remains on the scene thanks largely to
Internet ... But in Minsk, someone we have long buried ... ;)
WW: This number RIP'a you are now reading through the Minsk
factory Krynitsa non-alcoholic beverages, the official supplier
of the best in the world Zhigulevsky beer. Negotiations for
sponsorship under way.
(For publicity)
Ars: Ay-yay-yay ... Besides the fact that you interrupted me;),
so also issued a trade secret ... But what about the current
contract with by the "Crystal"? Suddenly find out, competitors
... So six months on mineral water sitting: (
. . .
Let's digress so far from this topic and get back to what
Werewolves said at the beginning of this issue: yes, now we did
not lack of support in his own city in the country. How can
abyyakavasts, indifferent attitude of all our affairs and
undertakings, be a stimulus to any work? And even more so when
instead of the support we get frank assaults, from his own ...
WW>: E
Of course, there may be those who say that all life is a
struggle. Will survive and will break into people - the
strongest ... And may even lead a lot of examples where the
competition, and more precisely, the battle, contributed to the
development stage. All in fact probably remember from world
learned of the King of Time, Alex'e Plusov'e, Doc'e, Kamikaze
... Oddly, the scene is very often result from fuckback'ov! ;-)
Many people remember the rush of development Spectrum in Minsk
at the beginning of last year, an abundance of projects,
working groups, leaving newspapers releases. Those who have it
all seen, knows that the enthusiasm of the time it came out
rather harsh confrontation. All against all. Nobody thought any
of whose opinions, everyone wanted to be first. All the while
obsessed by the newspapers, everyone tried to make XOT
something in the ANSWER. Paradox;). It is striking that while
support was not so relevant (although talking about it) as it
is now. That stubbornness, obstinacy, which was carried out
competition, is not allowed to really talented people together
for a common cause. It seemed that While the benefits from it
all. The abundance of software - which still have to nick? And
yet the future (present), imho, it was decided back then.
WW: Yes peregryzlis all to hell ...
. . .
The first symptom was the collapse of Prophecy by the autumn
of last year. Even without the collapse, but just a group
ceased to exist. And one One reason was the failure to
participate in Enlight. I must say that PHC was the only one of
the Minsk group, to which we, FTL, treated with respect. That I
can speak for everyone. We had some joint releases, and Peter
(Tankard) a lot for all made ... Yes, and allegedly told by
drunk Mastsoft (this I read in the ZX-Element'e) Tankard and
came up with the same name Fatality. Xmm ... Strange;). I'm
like, I remember that after all it was Kohl (Nicksoft). Already
overgrown legend Lprint, by the way, too, began as a project
Werewolves' Lama ... His last work Tankard'a for PHC was demo
Stare. Nomination 16K is the best demo on the Speccy now. Still
I do not understand why Pete released this pre-release and
asked send it to all, although Enlight stayed only a month.
Almost immediately after I posted Stare at the Acid-Nature, I
received from Raver'a letter where he asked: "This demo is not
for Enlight? ". And although Tankard optimistic cut a demo with
the phrase: "Meet you at the Enlight", he probably already knew
that because of absence of money nobody can PRIEXAT.
WW: Well, right Stirlitz: "Tankard said:" Before the meeting,
"but I knew that exactly a year would put his boots and will
defend their homeland. But now Tankard wrote: "See ..." :).
And though he told everyone that he still had a lot of effects
and the need just good music and some graphics, it just has to
was to make this decision because of the impossibility
PARTICIPATION.
WW: Remove hats, ladies and gentlemen. We have lost a great
Tankard totally permanently ... Hsien, what do you bury him?
Of course, it was possible to negotiate and pass to someone
demo, the more that participants were going through Minsk from
Brest and Bobruisk, but then once told Peter, it would not play
great value. All the same, he invested a lot in
Stare, could not get much support THEN, as he
could be obtained by attending the party.
Imagine for a moment that a miracle happened and this
possibility would appear, and not just an opportunity to be
there, but also the opportunity to participate in what's
happening! How much it could change!
WW: Let's imagine, even for two minutes :-). To change?
Nichrome fact would not have happened! Enlight fell off, the
demo went for a walk in the country did not get a seat. Stare
wanders even earlier. What Tankard rulez in Minsk, this is all
already know. For the rest, the situation remained, would the
former.
Unfortunately, a year ago it was impossible ...
WW: Well, damn, you me started:). Yes, come on! There is a
will! I remember well how we are all ready. As with Lam'oy
painted for Enlight, as Petya customized. As in all the parks
in spring probuhivali money, as the last day of Arny vyzvanival
all, when he were the guys who were traveling from Bobruisk on
Enlight. They somehow found the money and the desire to be.
Somewhere there was Tankard? Where were we? What you're doing??
BU-XA-DO ... And do not blame everything on the situation in
the country.
. . .
Anyway Prophecy is not, and Tankard on time left in the shade
WW: Well, finally, because I really was going for the crown ...
But in Minsk, while in-all this newspaper war raged.
The newspaper comes out, but what an attentive reader could
read between the lines was just the tip of the iceberg ;-).
Move drove on Lprint, Lprint drove on Body, Body drove on
Energy, Energy chased on the Move, all driven by bbsTOP, bbsTOP
gested at all;).
WW: Heh, Lprint, if I remember correctly did not drive, he
otbrykivalsya:).
And so on without end ... Of course, the newspaper produced
real people and therefore, it is not funny, it was not confined
to absentee accident. Sometimes on the disassembly of the
entire team visited *).
WW: No team, and Legions:).
Yes, it was fun while ... I must say, I too, did not stay in
side of what is happening, well, because I, as always, was
dissenting opinion, I have some time took out all the daily
newspaper called NEXT. Published pieces 17 rooms like 8-). In
addition, throughout the year in the air, every now and then,
rushing Information the imminent magazine ZX-Element. And it
was worn so long that this coming soon'u all have grown
accustomed;). When the first issue finally came out (almost a
year later) was that is not just a ZX-Element # 1, and also aka
Energy # 9, but on the whole disc. I must say that this issue
has been taken by the authors enviable restraint, and despite
all BUT, I liked the magazine. By the time of passion with the
press became ulegatsya, and when they finally subsided, it
turned out that Minsk is no longer was not a single newspaper
...
WW: In this memoir, and is cut off by the harsh reality:).
. . .
Leave, perhaps, the continuation of this lame at another
time;) and now emphasize what I have here several times hinted
at: for the idea of Virtual Funtop. I advise everyone to
quickly get the second number Newspaper # Z80 (it is now
available on
ftp://ftp.ogre2vsk.edu.lv/acid-nature/Speccy/Incoming/
or on channel # z80 network EFNet).
I probably have nothing to add to those articles that were
published there, except to say that Arty impressed with his
talent publicist;). If seriously, in my opinion, it is very
necessary, and with appropriate advertising, it is firstly not
only retain and sustain interest in the Speccy those scenery
that can not come on Funtop, but may awaken those who have left
scene (I will not name names, but they have the internet;)).
Question on the number of virtual participants, I think should
not be arouse fears of the organizers. It is clear that there
will be no more than in Moscow). More precisely, much less so
if they wanted to strongly influence the outcome of the voting
members can not be virtual. And on the other hand, even if it
will be much lower than expected, even if a few people, their
can not be discounted! We need to know the opinion of each
sceners, because maybe someone's word will be more important
for us than the overall result. Remember that scene can be only
on mutual support, otherwise this world nothing could save ...
With regard to the problem of how the vote count, distribution
of entries, and run the bot on # funtop, then for it gladly
undertake to Depredator / PHT, who in his article, # Z80
modestly said that the Internet is quite a lot time (I'd say
that he lives here ;-) and even a few times took him for bot
... Xeh, like me, he did not banned;)). Yes, I'm not talking
about how much time were searching for competitive jobs with
Enlight97 (you can bet that some will write down their itself
fully only on Funtop'e ;-)). On the issue of possible rigging,
too, will not be problems .. True (get ready, now followed by a
little surprise), I myself managed twice to fill in the form of
# z80 i_pochti_ no one noticed ... ;). Anyway, this thing
long-standing and stretched in space and time :-)). In fact, for
who spent several years in an Internet, an identification of a
simpler problem than, for example search khalyavnykh
news-servers or fidoshnyh fileecho ;-).
In general, I'm sure everything
will be OK.
Well, we lost no extra bytes go to the next part of our show;).
WW: As entertaining as soon oblique, oblique :)...
