| Internet vs Speccy: won the friendship!
| Unbeliever ^ x7m
New time sets new standards for information and the way
its submission. Today the community is divided into two
spektrumistov roughly equal halves: those who have access to a
global Internet and those who never this network had never seen
before. Both half of the community continue to play an
important role in the life Spectrum and neither those nor the
other can not write off. At the end of all, the network is the
only network, and machine live - a real sign belonging to the
elite!
What is so attractive Internet to create new
projects devoted to our favorite computer? Let's lean
all the advantages associated with speed, capacity audience
planetary scale network and its international outlook. Let's
moment forget about the virtues of on-line communication,
e-mail'e and irc ... That remains what all the magic that pulls
the network weight creative-minded individuals? The answer is
simple! Internet involves the ability to quickly and
efficiently accommodate the material solve it in color and
graphics, fill hyperlinks!
Before you can lay 1,000 floppy disks with the software
and it will not anyone interested. Can be kept in the hands of
a CD with complete Archives of Spectrum software and it too
will not be so impressive. And even a great FTP archive in the
spirit of the World Of Spectrum or Virtual TR-Dos course
impresses with its size, but not better. And with On the other
hand, a small page with download'om only 10-20 programs can
cause intense interest of anyone who accidentally typed the URL
in your browser window. May cause concern if Each program will
be equipped with several screenshot'ami and comments on the
year of release, author, etc. Visibility! Here, which implies
that the network and forcing many to use the virtual
hyperspace, instead of asm Z80.
Is that really surprised you? That's right! Here
simple example allows us to verify this. Are you familiar with
problem of the charts? Those same charts that represent a
spirit of the scene. Ever the charts with the filling of which
there is so many problems and zamorochek. On the one hand there
is nothing easier than to write the names of their favorite
demos in designated areas vote-list'a. And with On the other
hand does not always remember the correct name of or command
that it did. And, as if it was great see chart at filling all
of these works before his eyes. Although least one frame from
each demo and the brief summary of the year release, the
authors, is engaged in party place. And believe me, this visual
chart would be filled with much more active and more fun.
Yes, you can throw all the forces and create a similar
database on the Speccy, but how many will take time for it? And
what happens in result?? Another off-line encyclopedia of .....
In addition, the charts are just a special case. The
problem itself much wider! Its essence is that all of us
comfortable and pleasant create on your favorite computer. But
at the same time no one will refuse the opportunity to have a
similar copy in the the form of web pages on the Internet
immediately after the publication of Spectrum version. It is
convenient and allows you to reach at 50% audience and 100% of
interested people, plus 30-40% falling to your site by accident.
For those who still do not understand, I explain the idea
briefly and dry. We need a tool which allows to obtain
decorated text with graphics on the Speccy and the Internet
simultaneously. Naturally speaking about the Internet, I mean
the format of html.
Such a tool is already on the Speccy - ACEditor! Excellent,
Fast, modern and versatile editor with
ability to format and colorize the text, integrate
graphics and music. In truth, the product 21 centuries,
although because of the classic hot-keys interface is not
immediately clear. Means the same publication in a network is
the converter ACEditor to Html developed by now AlCo on the PC.
I will not say a word, as ideas rather
revolutionary and those who would have understood everything!
But for those who not yet kerf, I'll give the last tip. Active
use ACEditor in the preparation of your electronic books and
texts. Use everything in this product at full!
Contact with the author and ask for additions and changes!
Just do not lose your source code in the format editor .... AND
Then the day comes when the press of a button you can
Spectrum transform your material into a colorful web
Page ready to publish in the Web!
Suppose that today it seems a utopia - tomorrow
put everything in its place!
