__________________________________________

Wolf> First of all, tell us a little about
themselves. Name, where lives, etc.

LD> Abode of mine - nice town
St. Pererburg ;-) Lomov, Dmitry Yurevich,
1974 edition. Was not, not seen, not
was involved:)

Wolf> On which machine is working?

LD> converted ZS-256, in which
delivered to the Pentagon ROM and made
vremyanka Pentagon - down to the smallest
details. All this represents a skein
MGTF and four mode switch:)
four drive controller pisishnoy
Claudia's (his own design, not at all
braking), GS, XTR-modem, programming
ROM, 12-bit digitizer. done
own pen ...
Two weeks ago, my happy family
:-) computers appeared in the completion of
face 486DX4-120, which was immediately
charged under the mail.

Wolf> What about Amiga? Or you have it at all
is not it?

LD> never had. One time I was
sympathetic, and then pisyuk went up.

Wolf> Are there any plans to implement
themselves on the PC platform?

LD> not. If there are, then - down the drain,
Spectrum die for then:)


Wolf> What do you like best
do on the Spectrum? (Music / Codes / Gfx
...)

LD> code, of course. Design, but only
separate places. Music - can not,
graphics - too.

Wolf> How do you treat demomeykerstvu?
Tell me more.

LD> In demostroenii I am only interested
naked code, ie how to make
have the time to make the fits,
what distorted apply to
happened. What is called the style and
the idea of a Deme, then, on which
some people like to scream "ROXX!", I
cares the least. Here are distorted,
in fact, coding for coding. That
do, Lawless Heart ;-)

Horror, as I do not like to delve into someone else's code,
therefore all that he did - his own, without
looking back at anything. I wonder why
pick something ... It already is,
passed, its must be done. Perhaps this is
delusional point of view, you may need
sometimes pocherpyvat methods of coding
other dem ... I do not know.

If you view other people's demos -
Again, primarily interested in code,
and only then design, animation, graphics,
music, the idea (in that order).

Wolf> As far as I know, your
Last demo of this - Rage and judging of
credit'am are you writing Multicolor
effects. Why multicolor? And do not
"Chunks" or Dark just like:)?

LD> that way.

Wolf> It appears in the epilogue of RAGE, is your
the latter is currently written
effect?

LD> yes.

Wolf> What is the reason such a long break from
writing demos? After all, Rage - it's the year 1997,
and now 1999.

LD> laziness. Work. more important things
For example STORM2.

Wolf> But will there be in Hell Assembler
handling this situation:


          org # 8000 - (end-start)

          ...
 start push hl, de

          ...

          pop de, hl
 end

          ...

LD> I see that this is necessary, but ... likely
No, because this situation is seen
very rare, and multipass (Elene,
ext. freaks of ACME, the additional
branch) will devour the time. ACM must be
single pass. Of course, I can see that here
Two passes will only be in the area start ... end,
but ... need control to ensure that menzhdu
they did not have another org, but if he
implicit, but still refers to forward - as
do you want this Campiglio?

Wolf> As well as the possibility of writing
nested HTML include'sov.

LD> with a fixed embedding, say,
no more than four.

Wolf> And something is special about
Storm'e 2?

LD> I will not say:) as soon - as soon
anonsik go, and then by himself;)


Wolf> And what is the coolest code
(In your opinion) you wrote on the Speccy?

LD> biggest distorted - in multicolor
the last part of RAGE.

Wolf> really perverted, but for the Storm
You are not distorted? :)

LD> perverted, but much smaller.

Wolf> And on Constructions Chaos is not
going to write a demo?

LD> going / not going to - where I
know? :-) Too early. but the idea is to write DeMouy
I do not much like, DARK is something
there like ... he has a couple of ideas.

Wolf> And what is connected with the delay in SE? Magazine
It is very interestny.

LD> unfortunately, was forced to conclude
that interest in him we have lost because of
complete apathy and agony of the world's Spectrum,
more precisely, the part which,
in fact, designed magazine
(Realschiki). generally in the last month or two
I came to the conclusion that everything goes wrong ...
money on the Spectrum did not earn,
Therefore, one thing remains - that was for fun,
magazine, most likely in this category do not
gets ... and then write for whom?
Glory to believe that all this biserometanie.
small audience who knows the people in it
even less. What the heck wrote Glory
article about music in SE # 2? who knew him
thoughts and aspirations? units ... My article on
bus? it has an interest in 5 people ...
rest more on heart issues as
to make the next vikomnik on 315th yes
hook up to the thread a couple of LEDs, but
More like pick Haes ... or how much beer
drank at Fantope ... in the bath.

Wolf> And on what data you judge? If
read the letters that come to you
Received, there's really that people are still
not ready for such items, but if someone
interestno was, then perhaps he did not
will go to Peter and to beg you to write
log on, and quietly wound itself on
conditions. :)

LD> I do not know. All of the above -
intuitive subconscious assessment of events
Spectrum and the state of the world. I could
said another in another way, but oppressive
feeling is.

Wolf> What nravyatsya demos, and what did not and
etc.

LD> Not so easy to answer. I've never
did not try to see everything that is,
therefore not seen by some as some
said momentous demos. Of those that
I know - POWER UP. Old demos do not love me,
Of course, I understand that at the time
sdlat this - it was something, but ...
nothing special there I can not find. Not
please me greatly tightened and demos
plasma in a large scale, but ...
won, POWER UP bunch of plasmas, but I do
somehow still like them. CONDOMMED -
cool in appearance, but from England, I do not know
therefore can not estimate the depth.

Wolf> What do you think the first three places
on FunTop'e?

LD> about the first - I do not like chunks
;), But pay tribute to the coolness of code.
The second, third - so yourself. Nothing
special, and not looked at them I am.

Wolf> turns demostroenie too little
interested?

LD> now - yes, we can say no
interested. Watch - yes, hurt /
analysis - no.

Wolf> Tell me about your group.

LD> Uncle Slava (DANGEROUS) traded on the
software market, he was alone and was called
"Studio X-TRADE". Somehow it happened that we
met ... ;-) Only later, before
ENLIGHT-96 /, he introduced me to his uncle
Vitalik (DARK) and otherwise persuades
We write to DeMouy Inlayt. He is
possible, and when the question arose as to call
newly-born group, without hesitation, we
decided to unite under a ready
wing of his uncle's Glory ... It so happened
"X-TRADE group", which to this day
three people.

Wolf> What's new do. A few words about
Each of the projects.

LD> Hehe, we have no such order was
a lot of projects, all under 20%. If the
something to undertake, it is only for the fact that much
interesting or make money. At this
stage, when Spectrum sly
becomes a non-profit car
remains a concern. Commercial
Projects (SOUND / XTR-MODEM) correctly
bring some money, they can be long
considered valid. We now have
only one working code project - STORM2
(Hell of an assembler). Railway projects until
not expected. Acne rarely sits
play in writing the operating system
to Speck (razvlekuha such was first
razvlekuha - discussed now razvlekuha
- Sling ink ;-) By the way, there's ideas
fierce, but only the time / desire is not
very much ... I'm excited time eats
mail and have Vitalik - also, Slava
- Work. It so happens that we
not young in Spekovskim standards,
Therefore we can not distinguish Speck WHO
time, because life is, and from other
delicious and tidbits ;-) Magazine
our, SPECTRUM EXPERT, in deep slumber (for
This separate conversation) ... Like, all ...
