                PARADOX'alnoe trip to Rostov

                                or

               essay on "How I Spent My Summer"


                           Support the scene, don't let it die!

                           (For that scene is not dead ee

                           must be maintained) (MMA: ... for 
the eggs!) 

Probably already it is no secret that on August 7-8 this year in
Rostov-on-Don, there was an event called PARADOX.
And because of that, of the Samara spektrumistov except me
There was no one (and I'm offering some individuals to go)
then to me, as they say, and the keyboard under your fingers. 
In this opus it will not only PARADOX'e, but also about events 
that he preceded or came after. Let's start ...


Everything for me started at 00:55, Moscow time, it is in
when I came out of the 4 th car of a train 389
follow the route Samara Adler. It was then that I learned from
welcoming my parents that my computer (or rather
Monitor), who was at that time in Rostov, and ordered a long 
time live. Since time was getting late (or even earlier) and 
buses did not go, then we had raspolzhitsya in the waiting 
room. I do not the thought of leaving the burnt monitor, but 
now the station hands hours have already shown 5 in the morning 
and I walked with her parents on stop. About how we got to the 
house and that was during the the next few hours, I will not 
tell. However, at about 11 o'clock in the morning, came to me 
almost a genius idea: "And if I did not go to Disabler'u?" He 
lives nearby, and in general. After a while (after about half 
an hour) I was near his home. Oddly enough, but after the first 
call no one opened the door and I had to repeat this operation 
again five intervals of about two minutes, and only after the 
sixth or seventh tone heard footsteps behind the door, which in

Later he opened the Disabler. I granted
immediately protested, but the owner of this home I was 
immediately reassured by the fact that he was still asleep. 
That is how we met with one of OHG'shnikov. In a subsequent 
conversation, I kind of accidentally mentioned his monitor, and 
that it would not hurt to Disabler come to me, and helped 
connect to the TV spectrum, on which he agreed. Around 15:00 we 
were back at me. About 17:00, after a deep and prolonged 
illness, in 1972 life ... we Disabler'om surrendered and 
decided the next day go to Reanimator'u and see how he has done

Connecting a TV as we both remembered that he had
the same unit, just like me (Electronics 402).

The next morning, we headed to Disabler'om Reanimator'u.
We opened the door and told his wife Reanimator'a sad news:
"He is still at work, but if you need it, then go to his
job! "I would say that to his place of work is
about 30 minutes not a quick move, but it works Reanimator
engineer on the trains. So, where were we? Ah, well
So, the wife Reanimatora gave us instructions how and where to 
find it and where it should be required at certain times.

Oddly, we were unable to meet? Either the Reanimator'a nor
the place where it should be. After a brief meeting and I
Disabler went to Dimon'u, where were about the minutes
40. But since the street was unbearable heat, more than 30
degrees Celsius, it is our first sentence was roughly as 
follows: "WATER!" On what he told us that there is no water, 
but there is cold compote. We of course agreed. After that we 
started Dimon show all the bells and whistles on his 
wheelbarrow, namely: 512 points Hardware multicolor, 
FLASH-color and something else. Us Disablerom of all this is 
only one surprise, namely spectacle that we saw when Dimon has 
done so to speak opening of the case. It is not possible even 
to describe, but I can say only one, that the creation of 
genetic engineering may matched only with a wheelbarrow 
Disabler'a. Immediately give a certificate that at the opening 
price of the car companies are not visible at all, and it chtoy 
find the need to work hard. But I was surprised by only one why 
Disabler'a nothing buggy, and have even Dimon'a discharged 
through time. 

Well, as usual, we talked for a while and the conversation went
directly on PARADOX'e. We agreed that tomorrow we go to
station to greet the participants and going all at Dimon'a
home on August 6 at 8:00. And then Dimon, knowing that I'm 
going to go to Demon'u, lectured me a diskette with the parts 
for the demo, which wrote Dracula. But there was one problem: I 
knew about the area where he lives Demon, and its exact 
location I do not was, at that Dimon has lectured me and a 
piece of paper on which clumsy, but neat handwriting was 
written the address, but this leaf still attached, and verbal 
instructions on the topic: "How do I find Demona home in the 
shortest time. "Here then began my walk around the city. It all 
began with the fact that I was given a wrong number of the bus, 
but after a little digging in the memory about my stay in 
Rostov, I remembered that the bus 52-th route (as I said Dimon) 
in this area is not inhabited, and I need a sixty-second bus. 
For 30 minutes I reached the desired stop and then began the 
most interesting. I initially started the search for oral 
instructions Dimon'a, but as it turned out later, I had quite a 
different direction. I decided to ask first got a passer, but 
as an evil no man in the district could not be seen, and I 
decided to return to a stop. There the I was glad there was a 
small group of people, which I asked I needed the street. As I 
was surprised when the crowd of 10 man this street only knew 
one person and he was under significant degree. Somehow I still 
managed to shake out of it I needed information. Thus, for 2 
and a half hours I reached Demon'a. As expected, I gave the 
part to Deme, so I Demon showed all ready by the time part. I 
want to say, these parts were really good quality and I

I hope that soon you'll be able to see and appreciate this 
DeMouy. By the way home I called Jocker'u about the meeting 
participants PARADOX'a what he told me that on August 6 at 
11:00 priezhayut ACCEPT corp. from Armavir and said that they 
must also be met. 

Morning of August 6 at 8:00 am I rang the doorbell Dimon'u and 
while waiting for her discoveries have already reached and 
Demon Dracula. So far, as they say, here and there, we came to 
the station for 11:00. After 5 minutes came and Jocker. 
Approximately 10:50 on gromkomatyugalniku reported that train 
Armavir Rostov delayed by 30 minut.V general, the train came 
about 12:30. Our delegation skuchkovalas near an exit in city 
​​and began to look into coming out of the train. I do not 
remember, from Who broke scream: "Get out there got out crowd 
of kids! Probably ACCEPT'y! "And we send them to a meeting. 
Once we met, all but Jocker'a and Demon'a, headed

apartment Dimon'a, always so to speak, and all got acquainted, 
and after and drank up the matter. Closer to 16:00, together 
with the ACCEPT corp. we went to town on the road to someone 
went home and took guitar, deciding along the way to go to the 
beach. On the beach we were about to 20:00, then I went home, 
and all the rest home to Dracul'e.


The next day, August 7, as agreed, almost all
OHG'shniki came to the radio market and friendly crowd headed 
to the venue PARADOX'a - DK Empils. On the way to us

joined with the Jocker SPEEDWAY'ami. When we came to a place
destination, there already were Die Krupps (g.Novocherkask), 
DELTA HACKERS GROUP (g.Azov), KASIK (Voronezh) and many more 
people. 11:00 am All were on the street. By 11 o'clock all were 
brought computers, and by 12:00 was brought to the projector. 
Approximately to 2 hours of the day was completed registration 
papers, brought by participants. All this time, the 
participants discussed urgent for Spectrum questions: "What to 
do and how to be in order not to perish Spectrum?". Dimon where 
something had dug up two of the city spektrumistov Mines and 
started them forced to talk about all the bells and whistles, 
which he stand and what he wants. The organizers decided to 
start with ZX AY Music Compo, but because of technical problems 
had to postpone the process until 15:00, and from the show of 
works on the Spectrum had to opt out until the next day. As far 
as I I remember the first day included the following 
competitions (Since I do not remember the order in which they 
were then listed by memory): PC MP3 Music Compo, PC Traditional 
Music, PC Alternative Music. I'd like to note preparedness

organizers to conduct all competitions, for example, when
conducting music competitions, in addition, as the music played,
spun on the screen slideshow [on PC], was listed at the bottom
complete the nomination, and in the lower left corner shows the 
number work, which is also called via a microphone. A to 
Spectrum was written specifically view'ver graphics viewer / 
intro listening to music, and all this can be limited

time. This has in any party they were a pity!
(MMA: The author apparently has not yet been born, he passed 
FT'98:) 

The first day ended at about 8:00 pm. As
expected, Warhawk / T-Rex has announced that beginning the 
second day will be tomorrow at 11:00, although for some people, 
but organizers, (PST, Disabler, Free Coder SHAITAN, Semen) 
second day was to begin at 8 am. By the end of the day almost

not one person who was on the party, could not say no
intelligible words: organizers - because it is very
tired, and the participants and guests from the fact that a lot 
of drinking beer. 

That came on August 8, the second day PARADOXa. As all the same
beautiful city center, with virtually no cars, no
people. When I went to DK Empils, "then I have already met
guys ACCEPT corp. As they told me they had
spend the night at the station, and asked me to talk with 
security, to be allowed into the hall to a little nap,

but no matter how I tried, protection and did not miss them. 
Security guard substantiated by the fact that at night there 
were two srl unusual occurrence:


 1. Around one o'clock the fire escape someone tried to

    get into the hall to spend the night,

 2. The incident, which was responsible for one of SPEEDWAY. 
About 

    essence of what happened will not speak, so let it remain

    on his conscience.

Closer to 11 o'clock the people began to catch up, although 
again started late, but only for one hour and then the fault

the company has granted the projector. On the second day of the 
party were , the following competitions (again in no particular 
order, plus the fact I can forget about some of): PC Demo 
Compo, PC 64kb intro Compo, PC 512b Intro Compo, PC Hand-Drawn 
GFX, ZX Demo Compo, ZX 16kb Intro Compo, ZX AY Music Compo, ZX 
Digital Music Compo, ZX Graphics Compo. As we have not tried 
all zaglyuchit, but with someone's help (may God and can itself 
Clive Sinclair), all failed.


Well, that's like and all the dry history, now I want you
retell some impressions of some papers and generally about
all on a global scale.


                        Quote pad PARADOX'a:

                        ------------------
Warhawk / T-Rex on the demo from DKHG on PC: "Synchronization 
is done buggy, the effects too long to stay on the screen, and 
very already beaten the time "


                           *

Disabler / OHG o PC HandDrawnGFX: "not translated yet on the 
Spectrum 


                           *

Warhawk / T-Rex o PC Alternative Misic Compo: "reach the same 
people to a senile, that are portrayed in Traditional 
Alternative ". 


                           *

Jocker / OHG o ZX 16kb Intro Compo: "I would be removed from 
the contest JL # 16K, But they're doing something "


                           *

'COMPUTER' (a local computer newspaper) about the ZX AY Music 
Compo: "The music, though tuneful, but 3-channel, although an 
amateur" 


                           *

'DAY OF DON' (a local television program information): August 
7-8 in our city organized the first South Russian Festival

computer art called PARADOX, and he lived
its name "


Well, now on my own. Oddly enough, but really PARADOX
success and a tribute not only to the organizers and those they
helped, but those who could and wanted to come. After all, this 
year conducted at least four party (Chaos Constructions, SSG,

Paradox, CAFe), and it's just the three summer months. Will 
continue steeper on the information received only in Rostov will

held two festivals - in the winter MacTime [ZX / Macintosh] 
(only is not clear what will be presented on the platform 
Macintosh), spring Paradox'2000 [ZX / PC]. Would like to advise 
all organizers that they have provided a really good

advertising, I'm not talking about television and radio, and 
even to distribute posters around town for a week. What many do 
not know what there is such a computer as the Spectrum, and if 
they know what they think that He has long been dead. And at 
this festival is really a man can see a new spark of life in 
the spec, and then we can to get another user.


Do not want to repeat, because of this many have said. Spectrum 
at the big screen was black / white, and why? And because all

or the vast majority work in the PAL, and
modulators of PAL in our country once or twice and obchelsya. 
So, Gentlemen, the organizers do not step on one the same 
mistake two times.


And now we turn to the contestants. Guys, I certainly understand
that you want to appear in public, but do not exhibit
frank Lajoux, from my own experience I know - this is very 
damaging to future.


Well, it's time to fold! Just like me again
called the backbone of the organizers:


               Twinzen / Energy - overall coordination

       Screecher / Omega Hackers Group - audio software

   Jocker / Omega Hackers Group - Coordination of 
Spectrum-platform 

             Warhawk / T-Rex - Coordination of PC-platform
