                          God ... There's no god. Life is a 
trap. 

                          Unlock your mind. Trust in yourself 
... 

                                             / Terminal 
Illusion / 


   Year after year, day after day, we go through different 
stages our lives, sometimes forgetting why and for what reason 
we have started our way. Over the past few years, we have gone 
through many tests, some of which we were able to explain 
himself themselves, others, we simply miss the self, not 
understanding morality of what is happening.


   Sometimes we were able to achieve something, we felt that
win something, but the next shot just knocked us out
track ... Rose, wiping the blood and tears, we continued our
march towards the goal that we vaguely remember ...

   From time to vremyani givest us, we finally saw the light in
end of the tunnel, the last effort we threw off the shackles of 
our memory and experience, and fled to the light like moths to 
flame candles. When it seemed that we were very close to 
understanding when all efforts were exhausted by this final 
jerk, we suddenly realized that this light is just another dead 
end. Desperate, we fought in the walls of the trap set there 
with our same consciousness. It would seem that it was time to 
realize that our consciousness and our illusions do not bring 
us nothing but harm, but this moment, our brain pierced thought 
about something else and we distracted, losing a priceless 
knowledge ... Following items insight blinded us again, 
cleaning our memory of what happened, the cycle started anew.


   This vicious circle plagued us for many units
time. As elements of the fractal, a second is a smaller
a copy of the minutes, which in turn is a diminutive
read hours turning into days, weeks, months and years. AND
Here we are at the same place too long after all
not yet aware that our whole life was nothing
except for that damn ring.

   Break this cycle is not a big deal.
The only obstacle is our unwillingness to recognize that
a world in which we live, this is our first and last illusion.


   Ars> I just submitted Seva, delighting his flight
thoughts and trying to capture her on her knees on a piece of
checkered paper with trembling from the stress of shaking hands 
on Russian roads potholes white limo:)


   WW> And it seems to me obkurivshiysya Random, blank stare
looking at the monitor. Fingers themselves concluded: "As 
elements of the fractal second way is the petite clock "- a 
deep phase a sip of beer and ...: "The days, weeks, months, 
years" ... And life joyless place, and silently die, I dolzhon 
:)))) (Joke, but then More will be offended:))

 MARIA Govorun. CONSTRUCTION HAOSA'000 ("Internet world", # 
10/2000) 


   At the entrance to the cinema "Sunrise" people thronged the 
form of the diverse - from young people in the bright summer 
coats before homo tusovschik. Walked past the policeman put it 
mildly, drunk, but still not one but a lady. Need to see the 
movie Frunze, to understand - neither he nor his aides do not 
miss this frame. Shooting began. The policeman, realizing what 
was happening, attempted to rob the film. But there it was: 
"from the forest, because Mountains "appeared grandfather 
Welcome. As a result, mutual legal wrangling Grandpa Welcome 
shlopotal slap from the ladies. There was a heart-rending cry: 
"Our beat!". After a minute or two hapless couple found that is 
surrounded by the gloomy mood of the crowd. We had to move away 
rearguard. Soon the police cars drove up ... 

   Thus began the fifth demo party in St. Petersburg Chaos
Construction 000. At this time the catcher, caught grandmothers
refueled life usually abandoned theater, surprise,
was abruptly any thriller. Jumped around the stage a young man,
which I initially took to be a talented DJ-nugget,
vzmokshy of nonstop movement. Young man
tried to arrange an auction, but the game, contrary to 
expectations, went to decrease. Soon, however, prevailed a 
tradition, and 8, booed by the audience as damned imperialists 
were the subject of trades - Precious t-shirt party. Another 
T-shirt was to get all the one who in the opinion of viewers, 
better than all will be dancing to techno. Wishing to found a 
lot, and in light of spotlights bustling computer figures.


   After presenting the appeal to continue the show demo, made 
at the ZX Spectrum. I long ago had never seen such a

emotional audience. Willy-nilly remembered concerts
Fresh from the underground underground. However, given
that many viewers were the authors of what is happening on 
stage, and a fair amount of alcohol consumed traditional 
beverage, stormy reaction is understandable. Once again, 
something went wrong, the demo did not go, guys with unearthly 
accent huddled in hysterics: "You do not understand!" We fixed 
it at all! " - Atmosphere heated. When you see the image, the 
two bodies already fought in convulsing, and then ... Alas, he 
went mono sound. It seems that this was the end. In general, 
the first day of looking, completely impartially, in lamerski, 
I can tell - I did not expect such a quality of work performed 
at such a shabby facilities, and such a powerful impression on 
the combination of graphics and music. Figures inoplpnetyan and 
celestial spheres into each other, made in ascii \ ansi compo, 
abstract figures, racing on incredible tractor under the techno 
... Do not try to look for such sensations, download a few 
intros and demos from the Net. Best color monitor and the 
fastest processor will not replace the image on the large 
screen and powerful sound: it happens only on the demo party. 

   But back to reality, but in reality at the moment
show ended with a demo, and the people moved out for a beer ...


                             *


   Ars> Opinions, as expected, were divided. Probably
a little insulting to those who specially spending their time 
and prepared Work on the party, and they just threw wildly 
apology of course. However, few people would argue that Peter 
was going to not over impressions. And few will be sorry that 
they had not received plenty ... And yet many are not clear, 
what is there ACTUALLY BEEN? :) This question is very 
interested and curious old ladies, then business to ask 
questions: "What is there to give?" and "Who the last one? "or 
more of the best:" Where did you pick up a mole? " (Turns out 
the entire form proihodyaschego on the steps of the cinema like 
a recruiting station). This is an issue and interested taxi 
drivers with striped sticks who searched for Main and 
transported everyone to a place near night. This question 
plagued even those who previously considered themselves 
scenery, and now saw THESE sceners, danced on this very stage,

the fiery-acid motifs another track on the background
real Commander:) This question stumped me,
sudden escape the burden among the thick grass of a boundless
Fields ... :) However, the bottle of Sprite and two quarts of 
yogurt, drenched in my psushnikami, quite clearly clarified 
situtsiyu. THERE WAS THIS DEMOPATI! :) With all the preludes 
and sink consequences. And because it was generally so as

thought of ... I remember last year fidoshnaya correspondence:

 Jedi>> Organizers party should enter into competition dem two
nominations: best code and the best idea. Only then will we
to avoid disputes such as: "These lamer used solid
animation! "or" They do not have the same meaning - tupeyshy 
set of effects! ".  Random>> There is a better idea. Done two 
columns for the demos: code / design, with 10 points each. Then 
the organizers of the pile for complete rating. Thus a person

have to think "how good" design / code separately
that will lead to more tangible results.


   Ars> There is no dispute, the design of vote-sheets on 
CC'000 was really simple to genius:)) voice - no vote, all

still get a prize:) The next time you propose simply to 
distribute for everyone with a clean cloth.


 Random>> Is a difficult group to chip in and sponsor
one of his men on a trip to the party?
 Quasar>> Well this is how you look, Seva. Maybe by the 
Australian standards ... Yet we do not get that much. For your 
information Scholarship in the Belarusian universities - $ 5. 
It is true we have and the prices are much less than Russian, 
but the railroad is to Peter about $ 15.  Random>> I see. Then 
we have fixed terms and give prizes those who live far away. 
That is, if you live in St. Petersburg or Moscow (About), then 
no questions, if further, respectively, naturally give full 
prizes ...  Quasar>> So it may well be that the prospective

group simply will not come and did not send representatives 
(why, If prizes are not given). How not cool, and mercantile 
interests of all still dominate sceners. Even at Fantop most 
people come for the prizes (as it is not sad) ... The party 
does not for the sake of the work themselves, but for the sake 
of communication, for the sake of the scene, for the sake of 
Spectrum! The only bad thing that "the number of deer do not 
understand ..." (C) UnBel! Ever.

 Random>> Unfortunately he was right (about the lack of 
understanding) 

 Ars> Never mind, now even the deer all clear;))
 WW> I do not goof, my mom sent for the buns, that's money:)

 Random>> In your opinion if Is a Party will come to a bunch of 
good works, it will be the coolest party?

 Ars>> Sure. And what do you think is called steep party?
 Random>> Partee where you can socialize with like-minded in
normal conditions, see the interesting materials to learn a lot
for a new, others see and be seen and so on;)


  WW> I'm stupid and scored lamer, who brought his
MazafakaKommander that does not work without a hardware revision
Kempston tumbler and no one knows. Came in and so gygykal
in nothing moved in, went to his Dryskoper, talk about what
that sceners - is not a disease and not a rare species of 
animals and outstretched fingers on the two upper limbs

human-intelligent ... Ie if you know - zashib! You
would be interested in such tusne. But I'm shy Vasya Pisyukin
from the city came Dryskopera pouchavstvovat their
MazafakaKommanderom in the party, hopefully in the first place, 
but instead I see it, to put it mildly, CHAOS:)


 Ars>> So where going to a lot of cool parties and lots of
tasty and cheap vodka and caviar? :)
 Random>> The second part of your proposal sounds silly and 
ridiculous. And the first ... We hope that this is still 
possible to arrange. 

 Ars> Well ... Thanks though for vodka - respecting:) This 
service is not even dreamed Enlight'u:)) Only here with the bit 
bummer something out. Spawn a make Pumpkin forgot: / On another 
occasion, found out more than we have taken a bite;)

 WW> A splayed fingers did not try? :))

 Ars>> You're talking about that good people spoke in
normal conditions and looked at odd job?
 Random>> No, it's in parallel. That is of equal priority.
People and work in the first place. For the people, as 
organizers, we need to provide conditions, hence this part

is given more attention by the organization. Nevertheless,
work of this value is not lost. Without the work of the party 
did not Party, in the equal case, as if there are no people. 
Just with something you hammered into his head that we have to 
work and did not care for this thought not you come.



   Ars> in parallel does not go - because of the heroic cop it
sequirity. :) So what should choose one of two things:)

 Quasar>> They sit and think that will do everything for them, 
and then will write in their tabloid annihilating report, 
saying it and it was a wrong done.

 Random>> So we have it made - no one wants to do:)
 Quasar>> But I want to ask: "Where were you when all this
discuss and make decisions? "
 Random>> Like where, the newspaper wrote;)


   WW> I scheme Kempston toggle switch worked out:) (Hardware
refinement, without which my MazafakaKommander in one frame
will not work, chunks: E and plasma: E will be fixed and
obscene words from the ROM pour :))))

  Ars> Oh, you're a duck plowed, while others were preparing to 
chaos:) 


                             *


   MARIA> Are there any features / demo party /,
unique to our country?

   Random> Yes, the main tradition that I noticed is
that the Russian demo party more focused on themselves
scenery, that is, those who are just cooked in the juice, then
both abroad focuses on the mass consumer, which
bring your own computer and sits engaging toys. In the West
man comes not to communicate, and play with his computer.


   Ars> Simply put, now we all know that especially
Russian demopati, as well as the peculiarities of national 
hunting and fishing are absolutely identical. Want to be a 
scenery? There is nothing simple: pour and drink!


   WW> And more, the word clearly sounds Ruulllzzz ... :)
