Демопати

Demo scene - report Promus'ac demomati ParaDiGMus 2003.

 ParaDiGMus-2003. How it was: 

I can give two useful Council: 


 First : Never try to organize demopati,

For nazhivesh you adventure in all places at once! 


 second : Do not listen to others' advice

and these are both in the first place! 




 Part One . 




So, how everything was. 


Passed ParaDiGMus-2002, entered a new, year 2003. Unnoticed 
somehow come. Well, think of it, 

once ran into a crowd of drunken teenagers. Is that all? And 
remember that in retirement? 
 

Not in our opinion it does. We must do something ... Idea! And 
do not arrange for us to ParaDiGMus-2003? In fact, it's time! 
 



Down with the boredom and melancholy - 


It's us against the grain! 




Develop rules, looking for new sponsors, remodel site. Agree 
about the premises and 

technology. Place an advertisement to the web. 


Preparatory phase, ponimash. 


And there was evening and the morning. Day-n-st. 




Before the party. Day-n-th 




There were no signs any problems, until the phone rang and 
Yunev Jura, the system 

College administrators are not told that the TV, where we were 
going to skip work ... 

broke! 


We go with Dimedroll'om to college. After a lengthy battle with 
TV Dimedroll, not knowing 

what else you can take a joke went around of it, clapping her 
hands. Funny thing was 

After his shamanism TV ... earned! 


Meet at the bus stop with a familiar sound engineer, agree that 
it will come to the party 

pen spinning. To my surprise, I hear that all the equipment of 
the auditorium pedkolledzha removed. 

Learn how you can get. Get a phone soundman college. Calling. 
Order! Technique 

will! 


The preparation is connected NewArt. He writes for the viewer 
Speck, gives valuable comments on 

rules. 


Make posters. But in the printer, where we were going to print 
them, at first unexpectedly 

over the cartridge, and then he broke down altogether. Find 
another printer. 

Posters are ready. Stick them in Serpukhov. The electronic 
version of sending 

u1tradimm'u / DLC for distribution in Moscow. 




Before the party. Day-5 th. Deadline. 




That's the deadline. Works something not a lot. No, they are 
already more than last year, but still not enough ... 
 

Duty. From time to time looked into the box. Several new works, 
letters from participants and sponsors. 
 



Before the party. Day-4-th 




In the morning we meet with the D-Juice'om in the subway and go 
for the prizes. First - to Symantec. Choose from two 

opposite directions of movement indicated a native Muscovite, 
the only right one, 

get into the World Trade Center. We rise to the express 
elevator. Wow! Already captures the spirit! 

We take away the prizes. 


Meet u1tradimm'om. It conveys the work DLC. Buy magazine 
"Hacker", find information about us. 

Admire the skill of dry 2poisonS help make an interesting 
sidebar. 
 

Head for the "Open Systems". After a little trip to get places. 
There we were already waiting. 

Learning that we're not on the machine, the guys from the 
publisher perplexed whistle. Then, it seems that you 

problems! 


After these words from D-Juice'a falls to the ground package. 
The problem has only just begun. 
 

Once inside, and tried to lift half of what we had to pick up, 
we realized that 

car - is not a luxury but a means of transportation! Taking 
half of the journals, we headed 

back to the subway. Got into the banked on our weight trolley, 
bought from the driver's incomprehensible 

cards with magnetic stripe on the appointment of which D-Juice 
guessed the first, and went. 
 

Here's subway turnstiles! Sorry for the turnstiles ... Do not 
blame them that we demopati. 
 

Serpukhov! Hooray! From the bus we are on the machine meets 
Yunev Jura. Nor ever have thought possible 

feel just a happy person, traveling 300m. from stop to the 
college to 

car instead of having to go through them on foot. 


Second half of the magazines the next day, pick up the Jura. 

 

Meet Draky. Discuss the problem of connecting to a TV Speck. 


Evening. 


I went to my computer, after peresvistyvaniya modem connects to 
your ISP. Check your mail. 

Something long accepted. I go through the web, watch the 
volume. Momma! What kind 

people in my mailbox 8 megs flooded? 




Before the party. Day-3rd 




Here I am on duty. Look in the drawer. Or am I dreaming or has 
35 megs ... 
 

The bell rang a service telephone prompts, that do not sleep. 

 

Look what's inside. Cool! Complete works! That is another 
matter. Now to the party will 

is really interesting! It will be necessary to visit a couple 
of their Mouzon finish. 
 

In the irc channel Draky throws coordinates person who has a 
Speck SECAM-coder. 

Called up with him, make an appointment. 


Asked the chief of vidyushku to the party. He kindly agreed. 




Before the party. Day-2-th 




Morning. In the box for more than 50 megs. More work. Agree ... 
Holy smoke ... well pump 

faster! I'm late! 


Running on the Cherkizovsky where we were supposed to meet with 
v0rtexZ'om. I take refuge, take out a piece of 

paper, hastily draw the inscription «ParaDiGMus» and this is 
strengthened to handle the collar 

jacket. Trying to find v0rtexZ'a. How can he look like? Walked 
several times 

platform. Found a guy who is half gestures explained to me that 
need to go 

exit, there should be the one I'm looking for. 


However, the dumbfounded one of the passers-question "Did you 
not expect glavorga ParaDiGMus'a and 

none found, I went back to the middle platform. Conversation 
with this kid. 

It turned out that he, too, waiting for someone about our 
festival. Decided to wait together. 

After 15 minutes of waiting it turned out, what will he 
actually ... me! 
 

Let's go together on Preobrazhenka where we were supposed to 
meet with Cr0aker'om. 
 

Here we are on the spot. After a while we purposefully 
approaching people. 
 

Recognize the voice: it Cr0aker. Friendly crowd moving to his 
home for Spectra, where we were warmly 

meet the parents, PC (of course, like any self-respecting 
sceners, without cap) and 

Sprinter. Shroud sprinter in polietilenovuyu film, take with 
you just in case nedosobranny 

The Pentagon, SECAM encoder and head for the subway. 


We reached Savelovo where parting with v0rtexZ'om - he goes to 
work, and themselves go 

buy connectors. After wandering through a market in search of 
the necessary and drank a mug of kvas, go to the 

South, where we were already waiting for the torrential rain 
and Serpukhov bus. 
 



Hurrah! 


Video card is found, Speck with me. Fertilizing, getting a 
license in Serpukhov 

WindowsXP Limited Edition and come to college. 


Well, let's start! Here vidyushka, here PIV. We Ceychas its 
plug and play! 
 

But there it was. It did not work not only play, but even the 
plug! On the motherboard 

simply did not have AGP slots. Only the pad under it. Type, it 
will be necessary - he 

solder! Tried other available motherboards. In them - the back 
story: 

plug, but did not play. 


Phoned everyone I could. Give birth to a fee right now, no one 
turns out. Went to Serpukhov 

shopping. In "Compass' e took charge on bail, another problem 
became less. 
 



Before the party. Day-1 st 




Today will hold a rehearsal! 


I Dimedroll just in case they brought their components. 


Since morning raced with Dimedroll'om shopping. Pencils, paper, 
disks, boxes 

discs, labels, cables, connectors, ferrite core for connecting 
Speck. 
 

Oh, this core! Oblazali all Serpukhov, while Dimedroll 
accidentally noticed it on one card in a store. 
 

Other members of the committee during that time have placed 
tables and chairs moved technique. 
 

My computer is not clear why flatly refused to work on 
patipleys. Reinstalling the temporarily OSes 

saved the situation, and not even the first time. 


It became clear that D-Juice on compassionate grounds can not 
attend the rehearsal and 

can come only 2 hours before the party. 


That's lucky, so lucky! 


Continues fussing with equipment. On the threshold of the 
auditorium appears some people. It came 

Cusick from Voronezh. On the same day from Belarus arrives 
Breeze. 
 

Hooked SECAM - coder to Speck. Included Speck and TV. Cut in 
the channel search. Again! Two! 

Three ... and ... nothing good on the screen is not detected. 

 

Two hours of the night. Finally home. 


But I still wanted to finish his Mouzon ... But what there! 
Vaughn has one ready nezarelizhenny. Him, and set. Lights out! 
 



 Part Two . 


Day party. 


Come to college, we have been waiting for Cusick and Alone 
Coder, who had arrived in the morning from Ryazan. 
 



Anatol arrives Olenin, sound engineer, who agreed to give us 
equipment. But, as 

found in his office was only a mixer, and speakers were locked 
in 

another room, the key to which no one appeared. 


After unsuccessful attempts to pick up the key had to be at 
your own risk of breaking the door. So if 

me for this draw, you will witness: I candidly admitted! 


Go to the full satisfaction, there is also the floors were 
svezhepokrashennymi. Think my 

plunge ... 


They took the column, but they never destined to be finalized 
before the end of party. 
 

On the day of the festival was inexplicably turned down our 
website at scene.org. 
 

Received an SMS from u1tradimm'a "I do not want to upset you, 
but your site does not www.paradigmus.scene.org 

opens. I sit in front of the error message. One gets the 
impression that some kind of evil simply 

does not want to party took place. Everything that can fail and 
break, break. Anything that can not 

fail and break down, buggy and breaks all the same! 


I read the SMS. Nice to feel supported. Upset once. FIG him, 
with the site! All 

well now this nothing can be done. 


Runs a little more time and D-Juice says that my comp finally 
laid. Wonder 

no longer necessary. It remains to be seen when the TV breaks 
down and collapses the roof. 

Comes cr0aker. Trying to run the spectrum. 


Where is the sound engineer? He's promised to come! What should 
I do? D-Juice'u sit at desks? And who 

party to be? Who??? 


Oops ... Breeze!!! Well, of course, but that he organized and 
led the party! I went up to him, and not 

interested in his opinion, raduyu him that he will now lead a 
party. Dumbfounded 

heard, he had a long excuses, offering us to go the forest, but 
such otmaz was weak, because 

settlement, in which we live, and so is in the middle of the 
forest and, accordingly, the forest we go 

every day. 


Fortunately, the problem goes away. Anatoly Ivanovich took 
crank itself. 
 

 That's the beginning of party .... 




Television arrived. Spectators, participants gathered. In the 
mailbox 

again full of papers and letters. Here! Good news! RU-Center 
has registered this domain! 

Trying doprinyat work, tweaking that nedonastroeno, await those 
who come from 

far and no time to 11.00. 


11.45. Breeze: I suggest to wait a little longer, certainly 
people are still coming. 

11.50. Well all, a limit should be started. A little 
uncomfortable. Gathered after bison demoscene! 

Slightly stuttering weeks lack of sleep, I declare the 
beginning of the festival. STS said opening 

word. 


Trying to run the spec. Speck does not lend itself. Lets PC 
Graphics. 
 

Appear more work. Wow, of course. But the forces already on the 
wane. Their only enough, 

to enjoy their appearance and say something, what exactly - I 
do not remember. 

Creativity at minus infinity. 


Continue to attempt to run the Spec. Speck does not lend 
itself. Put the PC Music. 
 

 Adjournment . 




After the break the night comes from the magazine "Hacker" They 
would bring banners screeds. 

One hangs in the hall, another - on the college buildings. 
Strong wind. That banner, that 

located on the facade of the building, sometimes warping. We 
run correct. 
 

Together with night'om there is another group of scenery. 


Appears Bhead, brings to the prize fund two decks of cards with 
pictures of scenery. 
 

As it turned out, Maxim Timonin brought with him a few old 
demos for Speck. Give him the floor, 

He shows a few demos on the emulator. 


Attempts to run the spec does not stop for a minute. Speck does 
not lend itself. 
 

Again lets PC Music, good work it had more than enough. I 
remember what I was 

Almost four years teaching native pedkolledzh ... Aha! 
Alternate activities! Playback 

tracks peremezhivaetsya show Spekovskih demos. So music is more 
easily comprehended. 
 



One of the present suddenly produced a bottle of Martini and 
almost sucked me back to her. 

I did not expect. In the rules it is written: it is impossible! 
What should I do? Run into a bison? Although 

wet behind the ears, I do not consider myself, still do not 
want anyone to spoil the mood, and currently is 

including. Make a few comments. It does not help. Gradually 
begin to boil. But what, in the end 

all, the whole organizing committee as the ears stood up to it 
here Martini sucked? 
 

That someone in the hall of pleasure to look at it? We have the 
nomination "drunkenness" is not stated! 
 

Well, let it bison, well, let a lot of arrivals will be then to 
the web! Who approach us with wine comes, he 

from the wine and die! With these thoughts, ask him to leave 
the room. 
 



Suitable D-Juice, said that to settle the question of the 
possibility of visiting party drunk 

state it needs to be removed from the duties of host. 


I take the microphone, he continued to lead the party. 


 second break . 


The microphone takes Cusick. Announces work. 


Again trying to start Speck, Speck continues to stand firm. I 
say KASik'u: declare PC Music. 
 

Music? No, I declare I can not better himself declare. 


I take the microphone and, inquiring, and whether anyone else 
with a tomato, do hereby proclaim Music. 
 

Delay no longer, show spekovskie work on emulators. 


On the street a long time it was dark, all very tired, in the 
hall were the toughest. Inexhaustible PC Music 

never ends. What should I do? Yes, I did not beat writers, but 
makes a decision: play for 

one song from each of the remaining directories. Other way if 
it was not simple. 
 

Finally, the nomination is over. Give the floor to DJ I-Kick, 
who brought with him an operating system 

BeOS, and themselves retire to count the votes. 


Consider the average score, hands certificates and prizes to 
those who wait for this moment. 
 



Restore order in the hall, clean tables, dump everything that 
is possible in laboratory informatics. 
 

After 11 pm, finally gets home. 


Will not want to go, barely moving his feet. And the hell I 
even got involved in this matter? Yes 

so that again? Yes, for anything! I'll go and take beer and 
sleep! 
 

I go into the shop, expect to the seller. And suddenly the door 
opens and appears on the verge of D-Juice. 
 

We go for Dimedroll'om. As a result, the streets appear 
Dimedroll, Mitchell, and nowhere has not gone Breeze. 
 

A little stroll through the streets and going into the 
barbershop to JT, went home. 
 



 Part Three . 


After the party. Day 1. 




Morning. 


The alarm clock rings ... Damn ... We must stand up ... To go 
to college, put things in order ... How sleepy ... 
 

The alarm clock rings .... Damn ... get up ... the motherboard 
in the "Compass" He promised to take back ... in fact ... but 
still want to sleep ... 
 

The alarm clock rings .... Damn ... Damn ... Damn ... get up 
... We must take back unused badge, for the used 

pay ... and who only came up with to get up in the morning ... 

 

The alarm clock rings ... Yes, I get up, get up!!! 


Come with Yuriko in college, putting in order laboratory and 
computer, with Denver'om mend the castle and repaint the floor. 

 

Badge pass failed, as "Lawyer" on Sunday did not work. 


The motherboard failed to pass, as the description and the 
driver of her Dimedroll mistakenly took with him. 
 

Evening. 


The Internet is that it slazit? Comp just do not work. Yes, and 
figs with him! Checkmate megs in your address 

I always have time to read. 


Or checks to count? Come on in their bath! Does it matter, 
what's the minus? 
 



After the party. Day 2 


Take away the driver, going to college. It turns out that local 
radio and newspaper already zapingovali phone college, trying 
to find out how we passed Festival. And the answer is "All on 
vacation" 

they are clearly not happy. 


After telephone interviews and travels back home to Serpukhov. 
 



After the party. Day of the third 


Yes, I gather there ever comp? How long he will stand guts out? 

 

Hey, where's my screwdriver? 


Collect complex, more precisely, what is left of it. Include 
... And lo! What's stopping you on the 

party something to work normally??? 


With trembling fingers dial www.paradigmus.scene.org, go to the 
forum and to my surprise 

do not show there is no flaming .... 


Yes, there is criticism, but a normal, constructive. 


Dimedroll places of work on our site, there are first reports. 

 

Of course, the biggest park the inconsistencies and do not 
remain unnoticed, but the overall attitude 

to past positive pati!
