CC01 - report from Virda

Excuse me... That is, sorry already, All...! === Cut === weird: day 0 - Friday, 08/17/01 --------------------------------- barely clearing my eyes and taking a sip of caffeine, we rushed with Andryukha Litvinov, better known to the public under the nickname LAV, to the Voskhod cinema. a year has passed since we were there were, so the first thing that was required of us was to find the way. twitching in different directions, we finally found her and once again times we were amazed at its absurd length - more than 8 stops on subway troll =( in the cinema (oh, these native places, where I spent a whole year tormented by nostalgia!) a certain group of people had already gathered very tired faces. it turned out that that night in the hall where she was walking while setting up the equipment, some people broke in stoned individuals broke down the door and began to generously distribute Russian folk gifts aka trendsuli. the majority suffered those present, including the main organizer of the party Oleg Sergeev and the column, on which one of the occupiers safely fell from a height of a couple of meters, without, however, receiving no serious damage (why he was carried there is unclear, as well as the reason for the invasion). so... Unbel!ever and Boffka Larkov showed up in the hall, with with whom we greeted very warmly, as well as attempts to beginpreselect something. LAV, finding itself in its element, immediately took the bull by the horns and hooves and began to demand a separate car. the car was soon provided, the musical works were collected in a pile and sat down to preselect. LAV and Megus, as a rough labor force (launch Mouzons and shove them into catalogs according to the criterion “will fit - questionable - well, it's in the swamp") was planted by FatCrazer, and as observers,) me and geltorn perched. our three had, so to speak, in an advisory voice, but the final verdict carried out by the preselectors. however, disagreements, as far as I remember, there was no question. We started with 4-channel mods, and they started very well. neither one mod was not killed. then I went to mp3, where there are several works did send it “to the trash”, and mostly according to the same reason - monotonous and drawn out. but most of all they were angry at multichannel music... we've eliminated almost half of it. there I am said the phrase of the day - “it’s enough to listen to music in three places, to send her to the fourth." after a while I wanted to be in the sun warm up. and the weather, I must say, was excellent. it's been a week now it was cool, clouds, grey, and here you are, sunshine it looked out, fried it to about 25 degrees, babbling.I go out onto the porch, I know that I’m asking for rhyme, but nevertheless, - I mix myself a Sprite with a little coffee, I sit down with my legs stretched out. here from the shop nearby it is heard loud “boom”... a minute later zetter comes out and reports to me that nap broke a beer bottle. here the NEP itself appears, all good and good already... and the devil dared me to tell him that of his four Mouzons two screwed up in the preselection! he slowly goes berserk, shouts that everything 3.14dora, sends us and CC in general to all possible intimate seats, and screaming that he was buying a ticket and leaving immediately back, retreats to the cinema building. after they explained to him what exactly would not go into his Muzonah, he continued the hysteria, forced him to listen to them on to the third circle, called everyone to witness, shouted that preselectors do not understand anything and have no rights at all, that he promoted CC to the masses with all his might, etc. etc. in general, one of his previously rejected works before the competition admitted. voting will show.. interesting that, for example, FatCrazer, whose work was killed in his presence, did not put forward no complaints and generally treated it with ease - visible, at least. I didn’t expect this from NEP... not even I know what to call it. Meanwhile, Ea and her sister and the guys from the CPU appeared. LaterHunter approached, whom I couldn’t recognize for a long time,) it turned out that they have ~6 disks with material from the CC, which they do not have money to process, that Frunze will appear only on Sunday and that It’s unlikely that he’ll go away without bruises :) Anbeliver also shared his impressions of spending the night with Woffka larkova, - two lines, constantly working modems, reproducing all the sounds of the connection, and other screaming TV and radio equipment,” and talked about his trip to Grushinsky festival In general, of course, it’s a pity that many were not able to come to the party. and in most cases, no matter how funny it may seem, it was the fault work - this summer has been a season of job changes, it seems. instead of five Voronezh residents, only two came (but what kind ones! ,)), from Belarusians were able to escape only the forever young and forever drunk Paul Pavlov, and the book leader of all possible demos and just parties DJ Psych succumbed to the general trend of changing jobs, and without him Minsk residents will go didn't decide. at 18 o'clock, having sorted out the situation and said goodbye to people, we left the party place to return tomorrow again.. === Cut === With the best - Wlodek. mailto: wlblack@chat.ru http://www.wlodeks.boom.ru [ZX] [Golyanovo] [Radio "Retro" 72.92 MHz]

Excuse me... That is, sorry already, All...! === Cut === weird: day 1 - Saturday, 08/18/01. ---------------------------------- I will drive for a long time... end of quote. despite three alarms set the night before (two hardware and one software), it was difficult to wake up. the day before we were finishing the work - I was trying to distill my music unfortunate in mp3, and love - all at once: correct your music, make an intro to the toy Winnie the Pooh #2, and at the same time help me in hard work. so here it is. Arriving in haste and confusion at the cinema, we We met some individuals who were eager to submit their work. I had to quickly arrange a mini-preselection. people with cameras appeared on the horizon. most popular the question was: “why do you drink in your hacker party? beer and not any other drinks? Surprising, but very Many of the respondents, without saying a word, said: “What about us? Should I drink vodka? reporters worked no less the unforgettable Frunze (who, by the way, appeared only in the second day, and repainted red-red. disguised himself ,)), although less fleetingly. but breeze/fbn was rushing everywhere with a microphone and a dead herring around his neck, shouting various nasty things like "Rulz!" then there was a grandiose expulsion of people from the hall in order to give thembadges. on a voluntary-compulsory basis. badges were issued instead of tickets, which was, in general, quite convenient. in In any case, there were no problems with the tax police and identification ,) finally IT has begun. Oleg Sergeev desires to perform and did not show any push to speak, so his place was taken others. Breeze spoke, then mma, then gave the floor "main sponsor" - the magazine hacker, and then nemo. the loudest and the last speaker received prolonged applause. him the speech was truly worthy of being recorded on a separate CD and sales in gift wrapping ,) then the organizer of the paradox came on stage, who honestly admitted that he had already caught up with beer. advertised the paradox and other things ,) then they pulled me onto the stage, I hinted about so that photographs and reports are put here. let's hope that they will remember and put... they will put what I asked for, and not something else some thing) MMA came out and announced that the first competition would be ay-music, and insistently demanded not to leave the hall. this is what it's called democracy. after the AU, the graphics took an unforgivably long time - it was 50 s tail of the work, that is, the preselect was apparently absent as such. it was followed by intros, 512b and 4K. unlike from the last party, ss000, the hardware was almost not glitchy, but somethe works nevertheless refused to start normally. during a break between something and something she went up on stage Random's sister, Lina Potapova, arrived from Australia and presented people receive diplomas from tsts000. the winners waited a long time for their awards ,) on CC1 some strange tendency was noticed efficiency, for a demo party (and especially for CC) it is usually not especially characteristic. to start with the fact that it was extended into the hall.. what? That's right, a telephone cord. thus, one of the computers was connected to the Internet. works sent to the last minutes before the party (although, generally speaking, this is disgusting), uploaded to websites - official and unofficial - news.. then it dawned on Igor Gruzdev, and he suggested leaking photos from his digital camera directly to us for screw. this proposal, of course, was accepted with enthusiasm, I quickly I wrote HTML for this case - and this is the result - on the very first day almost real-time photos from the party appeared. I think This has never happened anywhere before =) and at the most inopportune time my camera took over break. no, well, he found the time and place, huh? let's hope the film remained alive, but if you consider how many more frames could be made on this very camera.. ..then some glitches arose with the zx game compo, and it wasIt was decided to first carry out musical compos on the PC/Amiga, and then then go back to basics, so to speak. while we were listening traditional multichannel, everything was fine, but when it comes it came to alternative.. most of those present preferred escape into the corridor or even onto the street. because listening to THIS was quite stressful. only hopeless fans remained. After this, Anbeliver unexpectedly announced that game compo will still take place (half an hour before it was said directly the opposite). and it did happen. although interesting personally only one toy seemed to me - the one that was shown out of competition - new version of dizzy ,) next in line was mp3 pc/amiga compo. apparently according to due to fatigue and boredom, half of the audience left somewhere on a long journey beyond the boundaries of this very hall. some have already run away home. music, ironically, was much better than most of the things they were made of both branches are multichannel. with great difficulty and sacrifices) on The preselect managed to identify the 20 best compositions. part of the results - for the multichannel - was already ready, but it was decided not to reveal such a terrible secret earlier tomorrow. ..still a great thing - tsk. people come to this party and from afar, and from a distance of a couple of metro stops. by the way, I livein St. Petersburg for a couple of months already, but with my St. Petersburg fidoshi bosses I was able to meet / communicate live only on tsk ,) ..in short, it's time for the night. at this time everything began to appear more and more unconscious bodies lying in picturesque poses on hard wooden chairs. the rest tried to support appearance of life activity: played the piano and guitar, something then they sang into microphones (until both microphones were cut off from the remote control fig ,)), we were writing demos.. tomorrow morning it was supposed to take place Spec's demo compo. by this time I had succeeded in breaking the resistance of the breeze. if before that, he made angry faces when I mentioned rotten herring hanging around his neck, then now - by chance - he blurted out that he hates hands up. and then it’s evening, the day has passed good, the mood.. how should I say it? In general, after half an hour the breeze, having spat, began to sing along: “Take me away quickly, take me over a hundred seas..” faces, however, He didn’t stop making faces, but they were already making faces of laughter. I really wanted to sleep. At first I held on steadfastly, sat behind computer, typed out a report and watched the photos being uploaded to site, then lay down right there on the bench and asked Tigrra push me if anything happens. but this sacred duty performed by Love, who dragged me to the sleeping area prepared for usplace in the top rows.. fell asleep almost immediately, despite the fact that it was hard and uncomfortable. Instead of a pillow, a soft lava carcass was used. === Cut === With the best - Wlodek. mailto: wlblack@chat.ru http://www.wlodeks.boom.ru [ZX] [Golyanovo] [Radio "Retro" 72.92 MHz]

Excuse me... That is, sorry already, All...! === Cut === weird: day 2 - Sunday, 08/19/01. -------------------------------------- I won’t say that it was very comfortable to sleep, but it wasn’t very I wanted to go home halfway across town. in the morning, around 7-00, woke up due to cold and uncomfortable position. deciding that it's better already it won’t, I got up, washed the remains of the interface and went.. where? pralna, in tyrnet! Photos posted online were found at night by Evgeniy Barbashin, and at the computer - the permanent tiger. when Well, he was sleeping, I wonder? Did you sleep at all? was there a boy? um... yes... I'm driving. in fact, the second day was supposed to start after 11 am. up to this time in our home hall some kind of then a prayer service, the nature of which people remember from the past CC ,) in general, the majority of people asked about this go for a walk, and I’m sitting here... indulging in buns... By the way, the cross against the background of the “hacker” emblem looks very good nothing! and the guy sitting at their console loved it with megus began to put their brains back in place,) it seems they even have something it worked. The sermon lasted a long time, about 2.5 hours. love, megus, me and At times the Anbelivers sat at the equipment. most of it was turned off, only my computer is turned on (at first they demanded to turn it offeverything, but then the pastor there allowed me to work - “just not during the sermon." so most of the time (about two hours) I listened and listened. they sing beautifully, the voices are good, but the sermon is boring. the church is called something like "church light" - continuous hallelujah, amen, let us rejoice, the Lord loves us, delighted gasps and gasps. in fact.. well.. for example, half the sermon was about what belongs to the Lord everything, which means part of what we receive, must be given to him, and the best part... in general, the subtext is clear, right? By the way, their pastor asked them a question: “who prayed that Did we get room this week?" by the way, he has a six-pointed star hangs on a tie, you can take pictures - Gruzdev, part 5 - watch. ugh.. it's finally over. our guys right away turned on hardcore, commenting into the microphone: “let’s drive out the Christian filth from the compo-hall! these comrades lingered (their name is something like "church of light") for 35 minutes, now it will be apparently undergoing hasty preparations for the 2nd day. and it began! Spectrum demo compo. looked at 5 works. with two were clear from the very beginning (the authors of one of them Anbeliver subsequently explained at length and colorfully that they were all suck). the rest, however, are also not particularly breakthrough pleased.the second day was much more prone to glitches than first. The main worker in this regard was Amiga. more she brought all the fun during, if I'm not mistaken, 4 k intro. the only Amiga demo seemed to show all the whims, which she was only capable of =) ..during some break on the street in front of the cinema there was an unplanned spontaneous wild compo was arranged, namely we and out of the blue they suddenly found a couple of very convenient bottles. well no they were slow to put them into action. mortal kombat "sprite vs beer" ended with the incomplete victory of the first in my incarnation. this incarnation unexpectedly saw that Oleg Sergeev handed over Lav (and some other organizers) a T-shirt with symbols past CC, and, given that the lav was occupied by the remote control, the exotic it was confiscated and for the rest of the day it was unclear why she walked around in white T-shirt. ..the loudest scandal erupted in honor of handdrawn gfx compo. the preselect was carried out by Zmey, an Amizhnik, an alternative artist, in splendid isolation. After the compo, a comrade left the hall. which was outraged that excellent work was not shown because it was considered a mediocre scan. Kano immediately jumped up (controversial the work was written on Amiga) and began to restore justice. the serpent had the imprudence to justify himself by saying that hegenerally an asishnik, after which he was asked what he was like then climbed to preselect highres... in the end the pictures were shown, they were successfully voted for on an additional sheet. 64 for the demo there was only one work, and very beautiful, in my opinion look - it’s a shame from the bottom of my heart that there was no competition. then it happened mega-demo, which included three works. one of them was mostly shameless video, so the breeze demanded allow his flash demo to participate in the demo compo too, on based on the fact that flash is a set of scripts... I must say, that it was worth it, although most colors are projector I ate it safely. then we watched some old and just cool demos, They counted the votes, brought to mind everything that could be completed... At about 5:30 pm the winners began to be announced. according to PC competitions awarded to everyone, in Spectrum - only in three nominations: we didn’t have time to sum up the results properly. PC-schniks Diplomas were given out by Lina and Breeze, and to spektrumists - Anbeliver. By the end of the party, the breeze finally turned into “a man with a dead herring." that is, at first he intensively created for himself the image of a man with a microphone, and he even partially succeeded (let’s remember our live report from the store where we went in the evening On the first day we went shopping, and had fun at the same time). but toby the end of the party he had already come to terms with the image I had imposed and I didn’t try to get rid of him.. so maybe the group fishbone will soon be renamed to dead_fish_bone. here... representatives of hacker magazine came out and presented prizes to Megus and the author of one of the demos. why only to them remains a mystery. Megus was given discs with some samples, and the second Comrade - DVD-rom. not bad, generally speaking. here it is little by little and has come to its logical end, tst1. someone, may consider it “inappropriate”, but someone else I will remember the sunny end of August for a long time. and personally I grateful to bigblack for giving everyone the opportunity get together, talk, shake hands, exchange impressions, ideas, swearing, finally =) maybe someone new learned the words. expanded my vocabulary, so to speak. in general - we born to make a fairy tale! end of quote. weird, weird@mail.novgorod.ru ps: most of this report was written in real life time, in the compo room, so I apologize for the glitches. === Cut === With the best - Wlodek. mailto: wlblack@chat.ru http://www.wlodeks.boom.ru [ZX] [Golyanovo] [Radio "Retro" 72.92 MHz]
