Interview with one of the most progressive, and certainly
without a doubt, with most active artist today's scene.
Meet - Diver/4D!
[?] - Arty NooonZen
[!] - Diver/4D
@
[?] Introduce yourself, please.
[!] Golubtsov Alex. On the spectral known as Diver, in IRCNet as
OrangeFox.
[?] Tell us a little about yourself (age, marital status and
etc.) when you first touched the keyboard, Spectrum, and
Which group do you currently a member?
[!] Well, it is some form ... :) 1921 I, not married, children
no. About the Spectrum. You probably wanted to ask, why
began my acquaintance with computers?
[?] Is possible and so to interpret, although I had in mind only
speccy =)
[!] I first saw a computer class at the fourth or fifth. Then I
gamilsya in luggage on some miracle of film-clave. Since then,
interactivity with the program,
laid down in the car, so fascinating to me that I was
just a maniac. He started playing at the BK Electronics yes.
Having been Agate (similar to Apple II, unless I am mistaken),
MSX, Atari, Dendy - in game parlors sample 89-90 years. It was
rulno. Then it all came the Spectrum. In exactly to the end
January 91go ancestors I bought a Leningrad 48 (on which I have
to so far, and am ... joke). Maybe that's when everything
started, since the first cassette I had Art Studio
48. The whole New Year's Eve I Hacked in Saboteur and Super
Chopper, and in the morning, rising up to 8 hours of
commercials, I began to deal with the Art Studio ... Again, a
joke. In spite of everything, still nothing began. So I
gamilsya and lamer until the end of the year 97go.
[?] Interestingly ... Lamer 6 years - probably zaparno? =)
[!] Hmmm ... depending on what you think, lamer. In the
beginning it was fun (friends, copying games, etc..), then
people began to blame, and something I already did - breaking
simple loaders obessmerchival, dabbled The machinery codes (not
asmom, namely mash.kodami), invent a sverhkrutye aliases ...
Hacked in adventure (unsuccessfully) - there has been
napryazhno as Friends of remaining units (for SPEC). I did not
notice it Time has flown by. And when I bought the Scorpion ...
Oh shit, really winter 96 th ... Damn, already 3.5 years:) Yes,
I am lamer is thorough. When he came in the mail Scorpion - joy
knew no bounds. But there AY was - BAC, with a broken channel B
(the defect of the AY), but I do noticed at once. And what once
remarked, is the fact that instead of 5.25 There was a 3.5 ...
Mother, I long, as we have soft sold only in five ... A to
97mu, the soft sell stop (or rather, I simply had no contacts
...) But! in this same time terminalku our department hooked up
to connect to Internet. Remembering Zool00k'a letter in an old
spectrophone I went to the IRC. But at the moment came just let
the Czechs Slovaks ... Me with my primitive English ignored,
and I scored on this matter ... somewhere before Summer: (To
format hobeta I had not suspected. Specifically, I suspect that
something is (when hand carried demos with e96:), but what
tools did not know anything, I'm not talking about ftp / www
with the software under trdos ... Downloaded all the adventure
with the WOS, and began diskovat them, of course, without the
save / load, if only to ship. On 150 somewhere to stay. I
lacked the time:). Especially love serials SAGA, Questprobe,
Digital Fantasia. S.A.G.A., sorry so far all have not found ...
Well, of course mozgodrobilki from Level 9, while they were
still available, too, not all, nor was I have one (IMHO they
are generally very few people went). Well, then, poured
irtsshnuyu in life acquainted with all, but at the end of 97go,
As I recall, was formed 4th Dimension.
[?] How bad do you think is important in the life of the
Spectrum is Internet, and if he plays it at all? What makes you
personally Internet communication? Is not this exclusive club,
since most spektrumistov not yet have access to it?
[!] Role of the Internet? If it were not for the internet,
there would be no 4th Dimension (we met on irc, living in the
same city, another opportunities simply did not exist). Would
not it be 4D, there would be no Diver'a. I do not know how much
it matters:). One does not live fido will. Rather fido - buddy
club, because I get to the 'Net much easier. In general, the
role of the internet I can only judge by yourself ... Although
not. Zabugornye spektrumistskuyu crowd, I think a small part of
our virtual model of the future (in no the best case). Judging
by them, the Internet - a basic link the entire scene. Of
course, we will be different, but, IMHO, is very similar.
That for me internet communication? That is precisely through
dialogue irc / e-mail ... Same as regular communication:) just
here widely as possible and have the same time. Shire - the
exchange rate information already - characteristics of virtual
communication as such. In the beginning, irc was like a drug.
This often happens on lack of communication in life, despite a
lot of friends and acquaintances. In the Internet easier to
find people with similar interests (At least to me).
On the Specifics of access. Generally, I got to internet due
to the fact that he studied at the Perm State Technical
University. In my opinion, almost all major universities have a
connection. By the way, also recently ended a program Soros on
the opening of a classical university UIC - university internet
centre - classes open access to the Internet. By At least here
in Perm made almost Freestuff lostup for all residents of the
area, time-limited course, but still ... Just in case, here is
a list of cities where there were open UIC:
Barnaul ASU Kazan, Novgorod, Kazan State University NSU Saratov
Saratov Blagoveshchensk ASU Kaliningrad KSU Novosibirsk NSU
Tver TSU Vladivostok Kemerovo DSU KSU OSU Omsk Tomsk TSU
Volgograd VSU Krasnodar KSU Perm PSU Tula, TSU
VSU Voronezh Krasnoyarsk KSU Petrozavodsk PSU Ufa BSU
Ekaterinburg UGU Makhachkala DSU Rostov-on-D .. RSU Cheboksary
CSU Izhevsk UGU Nalchik KSU Samara Saratov Yakutsk YSU
ISU, Irkutsk, Nizhny Novgorod State University Novosibirsk
State University Saransk Yaroslavl YSU
And in St. Petersburg, for example, an hour at an internet
cafe is 15r (Serzh 2 day of sitting during CC'999). I actually
have a maximum of 6 hours week, this is almost enough to get
all the information exchange of letters, and sometimes even
have time to chat on irc:). So it is not that the Internet and
reach. In extreme cases, you can live with only one e-mail'om,
by correspondence can be get everything your heart desires.
Once upon a time, and I only dreamed about the Internet, but
life has shown - with the Every day its availability increases.
Do not hang your nose, gets the Internet and to you, if you
have not got.
[?] Your current main lesson schedule or something else?
[!] Well, the main course schedule. Are you expected to hear
that I then there's the type Exploder / Visual / Imp # 2? No,
I'm quite vain, to hide some advantages:). Except of course
pixels still dabble limited ASCII, and sometimes sling ink at
Wikipedia # Z80, rip AY modules sharyus on an Internet,
transcribed by e-mail.
[?] What if you have still any hidden talents =) Perhaps
you clean the potatoes quickly, or a parachute jump, or
volunteer GreenPeace? =)
[!] Hehe, might have, but they have to do with computers
have:)
[?] Unfortunately, many would be interested to know more about
the famous people outside the profile of their principal
activities ... Can you tell about hobbies / hobbies / favorite
music and videos directions / do you love dance club'y / girls
/ with whom and where usually spend the time / etc briefly?
[!] Well too straight and "famous"? Conceited same: - \.
Remember: "Mr. Pollack that interests you in life?" - "Jazz,
Boxing and Sex! ". Joke:) The main hobby - this is probably the
spec. Further, I do not imagine myself without my favorite
music and friends. Music, like someone might have already had
time to notice - goa (psychedelic) trance. 80% of time spent at
the computer I only listen to goa (kalbasit so much that once
something do you want, such as to show off ascii :-). But,
thank God, have the sense sometimes distracted and listen to
something completely another. For example, I love The Shamen,
Orbital, Suzanne Vega, Depeche Mode, JMJ, Banco De Gaia, Art Of
Noise. By the way, why no one ever asks what the interviewee
does not like:) Do not love: pumpin house, blumchen, Russian
pop music. To the classics and Jazz just is not mature enough.
By the way, I love very AY music:) DJ CONT, VISUAL, IMP, JAAN,
MAST ... very often listen to.
Video. Rare for some reason. Damn, that will pay, necessarily
Matrix will buy. In general, the videos look a little, much
less than I would like. Genres - hard to say. Thriller. Love
interesting, twisted, believable plot, different
psychological subtlety. Beautiful special effects, too, not
least role, but only as an appendage (eg, "MIB" I do not
especially pinned). For example: "The Silence of the Lambs,"
"Seven", "12 Monkeys "(seems to be 12:)," Luna-44 "or lighter
-" The Fifth Element. "From a purely psychological veshchichek,
for example -" Better does not happen. "Still love the old
series like" Indiana Jones ", "Ghostbusters", "Police Academy"
and others - childhood memories:)) But "Star Wars" did not
particularly like. IMHO, this is purely for the fans. Of fresh
fiction, waiting that "Lost In Space" will be less (Paracels
praised) - turned out to be crap Straseni except special
effects. So many holes in the plot and the extra bells and
whistles that look sick. Problevalsya shorter.
Dancing Clubs. Would these clubs, they still ... disco we
lazhovye. Artie, as you like the slogan: "We
All styles of dance music (transfer, units 10 styles) "-
but goa trance, and even simply no! Simply have nowhere to
revel under the goa trance: (, still has not gotten to Perm
civilization.'m short rarely at the disco, but when I am, then
we have come off at full speed under the Shura and the
scooter:). Gals. Oh Girl, girl. Time tear is not less than
spec. Usually spend time hanging out with friends:). We have a
regular youth subculture. Long to explain on the basis of what
and why:). On the basis of the usual hangouts half a year ago
and formed spekovskaya hangouts. There and spend the time gap
between the two massives.
[?] By the way, just a question about ASCII / ANSI. Do you
think they possible on the Speccy? Most likely it will be
something your own, such as strictly divided as in the PC /
Amiga?
[!] Why not? There are two differences only, it is something
that the PC, ANSI can be displayed at any scale (eg 800 * 600 *
256 You can look at and it will be almost 8bit pixel art), and
familiarity there is smaller. Generally, the same standard then
- by party - mode 80 * 25 + colors - that is, familiarity
rectangular. Be on Speke attributes 4 * 8 pixels - would be
even compatibility :)... Therefore, at Speke not ANSI, the
maximum - a colorized ASCII, yes and then attribute to the 2
characters. Of course all this is possible, I'll not talking
about black and white ascii mode 64 * 24 - it looks the same
and the PC mode DOS/80 * 50 or WindowsFixedFont. Therefore, as
ascii artist began at Speke, and then easily switched to PCs. On
Amiga, I think, ASCII looks similar:)
[?] How do you think about whether to raise and promote it as a
new and interesting direction? Or is it not for the speccy and
this no one will do? That development is needed?
[!] Hmmm ... And how to pick it up? Com I do? And in general,
as an independent art form in Speke, it does not exist.
Only as a design element of the texts for demam or in the press.
In my opinion, especially you it does not razovesh. Even if
com hold. While there is no simple ascii art (almost).
So I think it's too early. Itself will evolve over time.
Speccy for it or not? Of course for him. Font is there? Ascii
standard characters, then on the Spectrum it be. A color
ascii (it is not ansi, since ansi includes characters
color management and so on., and the Spectrum in 4 * 8
character is not can have a single color), color ascii
(including pseudographics) can also be isolated in a separate
direction, but For some reason I was not particularly attracted
to it. It's almost like color chunky ... Have the option to
make a full ANSI - 8 * 8, but with a distance it should look?
:) Yes and 32 * 24 a little too much. Here if 64 * 25
characters + colors, it's almost like on a PC will be! I I do
not know, in the mode of 512 points possible??
[?] Do we have to Spectrum stratum of artists, and can
whether to develop this direction of the scene just within the
Spectrum?
[!] Is there a layer? If you did not know:) I
asking me the authority that there some? OK. No offense
all will be said, but ASCII drawing on the spectral nobody
knows. In pseudographics - you da D-Man/EI more or less
decently something doing anything else as a disgusting look,
well, maybe More Demiurge Ash ... Although once again, I may be
and what not seen.
After all, if you think that I do not particularly little
light. DoxyCon98 logo, Scenergy Charts (shame and disgrace) ...
Else on the PC Yes Amiga - Chaosite logo, a log pile for
different teams, somewhere half has not been published ...
Well, no, emphatically, I am still very newcomer, but the
bazaar spread as a guru of some:). And develop a direction?
Yes of course will develop, where it disappear. There would be
people. In fact, they have been tortured. But they are not whom
to compare themselves, apparently. Or is it a drum on the
quality, I do not I know.
[?] What would you advise a beginner, who is now trying his
hand at ASCII / ANSI?
[!] Watching what they want. If you read the article printed in
Buzz, could get quite a different impression of
ASCII'ANSI. In short there is absolutely different people draw.
If take a sample of that article, then Spectrum bulk ascii
artists, and everything seems to be as OK. But the whole
stsenovaya ascii, I do not talking about ansi, looks to put it
mildly, not so. In general, I would simply advised to look at
other people's work. The more, the better. I did not know PC /
Amiga ASCII / ANSI scene, but from our own, with PC, I would
recommend you look at the work DiZz / NRG ^ GAS, but from
Western ... Well, for example, to design SCENET # 29 or more
Early numbers. This is in ASCII. And according to ANSI
constantly held compo on different party.
[] Do you consider yourself and the scenery there is on the
Spectrum scene (in global understanding of the meaning of the
word)?
[!] Oh-ho-ho. Well question for. Talk about these things is
enough difficult (since there are no clear rules), but at the
same time simple enough (if these rules are simply to take and
identify for themselves). Sceners I? Apparently, yes. Since I
am in some way interested in computer art, and he tried
something do. To be the scenery of this, IMHO, is enough.
Other definitions of the word "sceners" I do not know. With
this all simple.
[?] Rather curious definition, it turns out that every lamer
having done anything automatically becomes scenery? Hmm, do not
I think ... Wider than necessary to give definition, wider =)
Try to develop idea!
[!] Yeah, Artie, do you think, so lamernyh scenery does not
happen:) That is, do you think that sceners - is the one who
made a significant contribution, or simply not lamer and doing
something? IMHO, this is definition is no better. Can a clear,
someone recognized, definition is, again, I do not know. In my
opinion, nevertheless, clearly One can not say. It will always
be vague concepts - sceners, lamer, a significant contribution.
I mean, certainly there are people with respect to which one
can clearly say - this lamer, this taxis, and this, in general,
the pillar of the scene. But about the other interest 80 - Who
are they? I therefore determine for themselves so. Sceners -
was involved in the computing scene. That's all. In another
way, no way I can not. And how to define you?
[?] I even try I will not give a clear definition, in the end
I am taking all the interview =) I can only say only that the
lamer sceners not believe and firmly draw the line. I agree that
Everyone has their own style and level. Progressive
person immediately noticeable, and they become real
sceners. The scene - a steady progress, otherwise - quagmire ...
[!] Can be so. Scene = progress sceners = progressive. This
much more narrow definition, but too well founded.
But is there on the Spectrum scene in the global
understanding? Blin, Artie, you ask too. I would not say that I
know what a scene a global understanding. Moreover, I do not
know what is the definition terms "stsenovy Mouzon",
"stsenovaya picture" - here I just lost. I have my own
subjective view and everything. But the question is asked, so
I'll answer. Scene no. At As I do not feel that it is. Do not
forget that I am not visited any one demoparty, but we must not
forget how to resources I have access. This and my opinion.
People say that scene no longer exists, it dies / died. But I
think she's just in the throes of born. Unfortunately there are
also stillborn children (heh, heh - BornDead, I do not remember
what there under that MMA had in mind). Although not must be
taken seriously these words, because in order to talking about
life scenes are to be defined: what a scene (I'm not too laden?)
[?] Interesting idea ... That is happening now, although not
so we would like. The birth scene is painful. Here
many factors. How do you think will come out if anything out of
it and you need to do, in your opinion?
[!] Is likely to come out. I can not say for sure. You see,
just talked to one person in the # z80, as
turned out they were actively engaged in the production of two
games, and more projects exist, but it just does not consider
it necessary to advertise anything until a clear assurance that
the projects completed. After all, we were witnesses to a heap
advertised projects simply gone into oblivion. Or projects
who are not benefited too much advertising (it is about you,
but you and he is very familiar with). This is a major
influence. Fact one - advertise less. But what conclusion from
this? There are people who are subject to the situation. They
see that there is nothing -> depressnyak, departure from the
cake. Another all nachhat, they just do something. Now it seems
the public calm. Perhaps half gone, a quarter is doing
something, but it is silent, the other lazy (in the last year,
a rough estimate). Always people will do something. Not
forever, but still very long. Those who amenable Dumps,
pessimism, go - this is an opportunity that scene was not born
:-(. And what you need? Communicate needed. More to
communicate. For the stage in our understanding of need
communication, networking and communications. When in any city
in almost any be able to keep in touch with all the other
through the same 'Net, then tusovka become more cohesive. There
will be new prospects development will be more rapid exchange
of information, new opportunities. And if you come from a
different point of view ... C business, so to speak, then the
network is not as profitable. Crackers will drive everything to
nothing, or almost all. That now left to break? DejaVu # 8, yes
CHV2 when released. Everything Else already have. Conflicts
will be scary ... Mednonogov gone: (. But because people can
not not break CHV2. It's not even a matter of conscience. In
fact, almost all have already decided that for them the
Spectrum - a scene or commerce. These are 2 different poles.
[?] This is for sure - the scene and commerce - are
incompatible. Can not earn a selfless creativity. Some
incentives (prizes on the party, etc.) - is another matter,
they are not going to enrich purses, and to communicate and
further development of cyber-art.
[?] Okay, back to our sheep =) What are you working on?
What kind of computer (s) are you home?
[!] Scorpion 256 turbo, 486 DX2 66. Not a lot? Spectrum missing
as always, but on four have already cramped ... I will upgrade.
[?] Your attitude to the Pentagon only, and all the different
clones and upgrades speccy?
[!] Well here is a few shades. 1. Switch Pages -
hurt was when I had not plowed the demo by CBS. For all
else that did not work on the drum was so true. And these
demos already adapted. In addition to all the party entered
standard - so that was going on Scorpion. " Therefore, this
part of the problem disappeared. 2. Fixing a clock, the delay,
the number of rows. Here I think everything is clear. If E-Mage
did Condommed universal then turn a blind eye to it is not
necessary. This quality plus product. Who cares this is not the
case - deliberately deprive themselves of ability to make
better programs. That's it. In my opinion the clone wars is
pointless.
[?] What, in your opinion, the prospects for Sprinter'a, GMX'a,
GS, HDD? Do they Spectrum? What about upgrades in the field
graphics? Do I need a new graphics format?
[!] Oh, I do not zhelezyachnik. Prospects generally judged not
'll take it. About Sprinter I have a very vague idea. Y
it has its pluses - the best sound and graphics (seems to be
true?). In this regard, one more step between Spectrum and PC /
Amiga, would be helpful. But if you put on the Spectrum GMX,
GS, HDD, then, IMHO, Sprinter totally uncared for. Bells and
whistles such as GMX, GS need, of course. Screw all the more
necessary. A new graphical format, as you have already figured
out my reasoning, as an intermediate stage - essential. But it
gives GMX. Admittedly this is not untwisted, is not supported.
[?] Whether you're for the development of PC / Amiga scene? How
do you doing, and what trends computer art'a you closer
all?
[!] Because of their modest possibilities follow course. Keep
track of demoscene on a PC does not allow resources and Amig'i
I do not:). Music 'gfx scene on the PC / Amiga, as far as I
know, a single (in spite of delirium quasars in a recent
Polesie ;-).
[?] Is yes. Many of the Party hold these components together,
and there were precedents of the demo / intro compo together,
and not only on CC999 =)
[!] Of course they're fighting for. But the division, I saw
only once - TheParty92 gfx compo has been split into PC gfx and
Amiga gfx. More of this sort of garbage would be no suffering.
Music for music follow simple, but far more difficult than for
graphics. On Some Western party number of different music compo
reaches already 5-6, and even how much I tried to listen to
first place in the music with a different party, never my
tastes did not coincide with the tastes Water-(perhaps only
asm99 mp3 music compo match, suspect :))).
[?] You're a fan Purple Motion'a? =) A good musician, but with
composition on the ASM99 he clearly disappoint, although it
took the first place.
[!] Yes, fun. Maybe because I did not hear trekernoy
music and saw little dem. Most likely so. If anyone give all
PM + tracks 50 other pieces, the Purple Motion will be for him
the best:)
[?] Well, what about all I'm not sure, but for some - maybe.
PM - a classic, although there are a number of famous
personalities, challenges on the same stage with him. It is
also impossible to forget. Although the right, we are not
talking about that =)
[!] Okay. Then tell me personally about the other celebrities in
private conversation:)
A schedule of ... everything is always for me was simple.
Download dozens of works in a week is not so napryazhno. And
artistic expressiveness handdrawn graphics are much more
obvious to me. A simple example: downloading with any
there TakeOver or Ambience, but not yet having on hand the
results I just discover the laying of the workplace. And then
found out I made a mistake or in one of his works - for
example, it took not the fourth, and second place or I was
wrong about a couple of works from the top5:)
[?] That is, you have long learned how to professionally
evaluate stuff, emulating the psychology of the majority? What
is needed, as learn to see it better and progressive thing?
Only if experience needed for this, or something else?
[!] Emulate the psychology of the majority ... :) Listen, I do
not thought. Apparently so. By the way, I noticed that the
graphics such chip runs - I can quite easily predict
winner. And with the music exactly the opposite. Apparently
because visual art is the computer I was not particularly
attracts (clips, movies do not count, mostly the offspring of
computer). But my musical tastes in the computer music -
derived from the ordinary. And in my life, I just prefer
something on the boundary of pop and underground. That is the
music that I Like available with difficulty and no one in our
town (in our a small village) is not listening. In this
particular pleasure:) When the Prodigy were so outrageously
popular, to me they were absolutely indifferent. And in the
96th, I fished real buzz from passage Academy purely for Music
For The Jilted Generation ... And here is what you need to
learn to see? Well, first of all You have to compare. Where the
revision of almost all the graphics, then reluctant to learn to
distinguish the quality of performance technique. A Secondly,
we should still see the idea. Well, how to learn this ... good
imagination you need that you could understand at least part of
that put the author, if he has something invested. Perhaps more
something needs to be, I do not know. Basically it's all
intuitive level - for people without special education. And if
you a talented self-taught or education is not without a share
of talent, then I think you all clearly see the entire
structure, movement, all the colors ... I can not do that.
Here's one of my friends artist - she is a piece of cake. She
was going to say where the "paint too toxic, "where" heavy sky,
"and where" just plain wrong drawn:)
[?] Need the education and experience ... Great experience ...
Going Do you continue to link her life with art'om? What it will
expressed? Will you receive special education? Than
Would you like to do in life?
[!] At the moment, I am going, I want to try. Learn to draw
may be too late, I do not know. But the specials. formation of a
try. Since I would like to work in game industry,
artist (dreaming). But guessing the future I will not be
try their hand in everything. Anyway, I will draw, the
experience gain - without it anywhere, you see why this happens.
[?] Did you analyze the global scene? That this
happen?
[!] Arty, you have come across questions ... to pull the whole
article, pancake. Once again I repeat: I know too bad scene.
Especially world. All I can tell, it's only PC / Ammy GFX
scene. Only to her, I pay enough attention. A review ... Well,
at the the most superficial level. For example, for many a
scene is some school / kindergarten. I was very memorable
phrase Lazur'a in one of his interviews: "the scene as always,
is a ... low. Because it is constantly poured
flow of people aged 14-15 who leave at age 20, when
begin to present themselves from something worthwhile. "With
this very difficult not to agree. In my opinion, this phrase
reflects the main tendency of any computer scene. Let the age
range sometimes shifted, and I do not deny the existence of
other aspects scene. But in my opinion this phrase says it all.
And she confirmed everything that I learned / know about the
scene.
[?] A very strong phrase ... I have not read this interview, but
said simply brilliant. Do you think there is now
Spectrum influx of "fresh blood", or "die" and go
Last sceners?
[!] This interview took 3D Addict / Digital Nerds in aprele'99
for GFX ZONE. There's a lot of interesting things there.
Glyanesh yet. Is there blood flow? How do I know: (any newcomer
to the # z80 I always immediately question them - as they have
business in town Sintering, there is the group doing any thing
... There are groups everywhere. All of which is doing
something. To answer this question, we must spec-questioning to
pursue. Apparently influx still there, but not very noticeable.
A dying - a natural process. Very much scenery are now just
hanging in the air - like and not gone, but not doing anything.
A withdrawal on other platforms - this is In my opinion, not
scary. If you sceners to the bone, if Spectrum something gave
you, if you developed on it somehow, then you he will never
forget. And move on / above - is Natural step in the developing
human sceners. In Europe there was a transition C64 - PC /
Amiga, but with the PC / Amiga - a stone's throw above, the
game industry or elsewhere. Sit forever on the stage - it's not
normal. We will also, but instead of C64 - ZX. Forecast slightly
risky, but in general, very likely, in my opinion.
[?] So it will - it is an inevitable process. When you
complete its mission? You still interested in speccy, or already
excitement fades away?
[!] Whoa, what mission? About this seemingly below). No, not yet
passion in my swing. I have little to reach for
Spectrum, like so much else to do everything.
[?] How long have you started drawing? How did you come to this?
[!] Treba clarified. Began to paint that? :) Well, we assume
that I guess so. You mean again Spectrum (oh Arti,
Arti ... For the second time I catch myself thinking that you
are slightly fixated on this platform:)
[?] Actually, the magazine we have Spectrum =) It is not
difficult guess! About obsession - not at all, I Spectrum
interesting as well as other platforms, although perhaps
a little more ...
[!] But as we all do). Pixels I started to put a very long time.
From the very first New Year's morning, my experiments in
ArtStudio never stopped. In the beginning it was just
self-indulgence. Then I started to get pretty fonts. What? you
have nowhere to have not seen? :) This is not a work of art,
but progress was on the face. When I got my Scorpion (February
96) I started messing with conversion charts. But, of course,
it was just Children's pranks compared to what began in
February 99go! I have 100 times Prof'u promised that I will
describe it in the first interview, and besides, I'm tired to
tell his story to everyone in personal correspondence.
Let's start. I went one winter to
