    / 19.01.1999 / And hello again!

   Cheers, people! No longer than an hour ago my box connected,
finally, to black and white TV to replace burned-out about a 
month ago did not less black-and-white monitor. And now I have 
that has full enthusiastic feelings, probably something I'll 
write yes. 

   In early January, my life has entered into some kind of 
strip misfortunes: first, the printer was dead, then I do not 
pass the first exam, and On the same day burned monitor.


   But back to our sheep. Five times already, I unsuccessfully
poked two postings from companies in the video output jack
TV - these works were in vain as long as
mine, if I may say, my brain is not caught, that would not hurt
remove the cover of TV and take a look lamer it
insides. Can not do anything, including for me a
peccadillo - I love to shoot the cover for the entire row and 
pretend that something there I understand, it's silly hope that 
this (taking cover) help. But this time the problem was so

funny that it was able to detect (and even more so, to remove)
such a talentless zhelezyachnik like me - has fallen off some
rezyukopodobnaya contraption.

   Cheerful my mood darkens until only one thought - this
the best telly I probably will periodically take
roommates in the apartment, but simply put, parents and younger
bastard. So quiet man, almost depositing the session,
I would often break down vain attempts of relatives
possess such an expensive thing to me.

   Anyway, I digress, now back to the subject of our
conversation. Here, however, there is little poser - Theme
This has not yet matured, so I'll go until I'll sleep and 
tomorrow in the morning, look, and clever thoughts in my head 
will climb. Have a nice dreaming, my dearest (it myself).


   proshla noch ...

   / 01.20.1999 / So what am I doing? Continuing the theme of 
Shurik about the movie, and share their experiences. Two or 
three months ago World Cinema / NTV showed the film "Dracula" 
with Winona Ryder. In As you view me as someone who read the 
book, by which raised the film three times, at least to the 
naked eye it was noticeable that the film distorted almost 
everything: from plot to the characters. The only 
"justification" director I found the film in maybe not quite 
the right translation the above-mentioned book. By the way, in 
the eleventh grade, ie two years ago I bought the original 
"Dracula" (in English, course), hoping to read it at your 
leisure. After reading pages 15, I scored on the case, ruling 
that has not grown before reading on from England in the 
original. But after watching this film, I continued reading. 
Scrolling through the pages of another 30, I became convinced 
that translate into russian edition is done right, except, 
perhaps, a few at some reason kicked, paragraphs. Vile Americans

(Directed by FF Coppola - I must confess, expected him to be 
desired), As often happens, all vulgarized. Of the innocent, so 
to speak, :-) girls made some anxious bl ... (Heifer, in 
general) which looks at the picture a la MEMBERS Polish 
magazines and this hahi. Physician psychiatric hospital, for 
some reason, made racing as film as a whole, especially in the 
beginning, has come to resemble a light porn (though it's nice 
;-) 

   Smoothly move to the next topic ...

   As mentioned in the past Buzz'e, 10.11.1998 we celebrated
year. So, in celebration of this memorable day to me
misfortune, sorrow, one can say. The foregoing
highly intelligent person, ie, your humble servant,
premeshal two completely incompatible types of alcoholic 
beverages. This event is quite common in nature, was, however, 
for I horseradish consequences - as it turned out, since I'm on 
the spirit does not stand beer. With great effort I can infuse 
a gram two hundred, but not anymore. Sadly, is not it :-( So, 
dear mine, draw conclusions, and God forbid that happened to 
you is same.


   A week later ...

   / 01.27.1999 / Do not think that will continue to write, and 
won both happened ...


   Being from tours to relatives in Suzdal, I'm not going
home the right way was in the thick of things: we have a whole 
day stayed Vladimirtsev Sat / XTM 'Snake / LodeStar, as well as 
known masses Samaritan / Samaritan / Samarets MMA / Speed Co. 
/ XTM Upon arrival at about ten o'clock, I turned out fine

had come with (which is, in fact, to me is very rare), because 
Sat and Snake were leaving today evening at half past seven 
(they rather, Snack, did not mollify stay another day), so

that time was almost enough. And all because of the unknown 
peasant which threw me from Suzdal to Vladimir in the maximum

deadlines, so I came home so early
(If not a man, would not see me before Kovrova 15.00)

   Waiting Ash'a and Sat'a, the whole crowd went to walk on
city, discussing different things. After walking almost all 
went to the me to "gatherings" (for a fortnight of such 
gatherings in my room has accumulated about 40 beer bottles - 
it would be necessary to pass and proest ;-)), and then, after 
seeing Sat'a and Snack in Vladimir, went home bainki. Scheduled 
for tomorrow rather active program of excursions, realizing 
that we are planning the next day to carry out Max on a bus.


   I'll be back to the topic until a romantic trip to Suzdal.
Arriving there, I brought with me three things. One, of course,
good - fairly thick knizhentsiya on the history of The
Prodigy. The second thing (album MAR1LYN MAN5ON - Mechanical
Animals) was immediately presented Crazy. And what to think 
about third thing, I do not know. Again, this cassette on

that says The Prodigy The Castbreeder. From written,
seems to imply that this long-awaited new album, Prodigy,
However, several facts make me unsure of it.
First, the style is rather closer to The Chemical Brothers.
Secondly, in the media about this album, for some reason, no 
hearing, nor spirit. AND Finally, the third, on tape, at least 
two compositions, not belonging to the "Peru" Liam Howlett 
(Leave You Far Behind and Underacheivers). So, people, if 
anyone knows something, enlighten me, pliz. Incidentally, the 
tape is drawn cow's udder, which difficult to identify :-)


   Now for the pleasant. Connecting 3.5''FDD, I unexpectedly 
discovered for themselves Freestuff source diskettes. Source of 
this - PC. As it turned out, PC-Imeltsev often flying disk. 
Especially love curl zero track. By making some contacts, I 
have these disks Nationalized in his favor, and 70-80 percent 
of them I plow (formatting), sown (saving) and reap (reading) as

new. Sometimes it happens: a floppy openly scratched and FUT her
Nevertheless, the format.

   / 01/28/1999 / For example, yesterday, brought me as much 
Crazy 5 discs: 3xSONY, 1xTDK, 1xVERBATIM DataLifePlus. After 
plowing the add has already passed the whole day, and while 
four of them work "Hurrah." A if we consider that these same 
discs in Kovrov sold at ten rubles apiece, it turns out that I 
laced on a freebie 40 wood! Here so that's that.


   M.M.A gone :-(

   / 01.29.1999, six in the morning! / Just got back from the 
wires MMA, in connection with which I have not slept for nearly 
20 hours, which for me some a bit too much. I write with 
difficulty moving his fingers and windings, no matter how much 
it is said. Because Max went to 5.20, I spent the night at the 
Crazy, whose home is incomparably closer to the station than 
mine. Nothing to do, found a couple of bugs in its mustDIEsel'e 
and tried to correct them (in a strange something clave). By 
the way, let advise: test their best to bend it to a stranger,

unfamiliar to you clave. In particular, I'm Crazy by 
inexperience immediately began to push the buttons that are at 
home are unlikely to will ever be pressed, resulting in a 
trapped two bug. In between sitting at a box, we took turns 
reading freshly bought a book with a funny name "Computer and

health ". While reading we often giggled (neigh impossible
was - the night, as in any way), followed by Crazy begat this 
gem: "I think we fooled - this is not a book, and some comics." 
Here Several pieces of these "comic" (from the comments, 
perhaps, abstain):

"Access to the file by pressing readme.exe
Enter, the cursor is located on the file name. "
"Blood washes well fundus."
"Fundus pleasantly warm."
And the slaughter: "In a nice warm weather, lying on his back - 
on the grass, on sand or on the ground, watch the blue sky, 
trying to to get there as much as possible. Do this and

at night, trying to reach the stars ... "

   After thinking a bit, I came to the conclusion that the 
D-Man'a is something of Nostradamus. In the past Buzz'e he 
wished me get drunk beer at "Jubilee" Eternity (that is, in 
principle, and there was), and Our PC-division, inter alia, 
Pentium'ov II, III and etc. And what turned out to be: Intel 
going to release a new pct Katmai, which is now officially 
pereobozvan the third tree stump. So in Kovrov appeared local 
forecaster fates: 8) 

   Recently I had the blue (get it correctly) a dream -
do extrem'alnym sport - with a parachute jump with
towers, and even better, from an airplane (if attendants will 
suffice). Now navozhu information about Vladimir - say, where a 
jump. 

   / 02.01.1999 / day before yesterday, with Father Michael 
Taurus'om (thanx 2 them), to my great joy, finally hooked me AY,

so now I Mouzon (about five times and looked Condommed
"H. B. PLS!" - Trailed by soundtrack'a like a boa constrictor 
on the glass wool). However, with the box something happens - 
occasionally refuse flopari work - do not want to move their 
heads and not adequately respond to commands from TR-DOS. And 
even when work is that transfer, it seems, is reduced five 
times (especially evident in the # 3D13). For example, this 
here tekstina was loaded in Word (ZX, essessno) fifteen 
seconds, and 334 in Gaza MOV'ilis Perfect Commander, four and a 
half minutes (!!!) - especially intersect. What happened, I do 
not know, and every day I am afraid that trying to enable the 
complex to discover that he was completely bent :-( 

   And today, my uncle pinned somewhere monitor exactly like
My, but it was a non-working - when you try to include at
middle of the screen comes out horizontal stripe. Somehow
try to cross the two monitors - perhaps, something so
succeed.

   / 02.16.1999 / Recently my uncle has brought yet another 
monitor. As a result, "Sophisticated" manipulation to replace 
the burned strochnika happened much as two working monitor, and 
almost all electronics from the third. So that on this front, 
the problems have not been forthcoming. 

   Today I heard funny, which, for some reason, not all believe
are as follows: "The boy showed gestures that his name is 
Juan." Also I was somewhat surprised by the following fact: 
recently in Many e-journals began to publish "pearls of 
thought" Fomenko with Russian Radio, among whom had never been 
made public the most destructive, in my opinion: "Peter went to 
the rally, but Mitya went to the petting. "


   Somewhere in November last year, I poprobaval digitize (on 
PC) Progigy with cassette and six weeks ago - Enigm'u from the 
CD. When listening to it at the Speccy, it was found that the 
quality of cluster sampling is higher than that sidyuchnoy. 
Having read the article in Spectrum Expert # 2, I think I knew 
where the dog fumbled. PC, like any other box, not the best play

audio-CD, and in addition we add to this as distortion
digitization, in the case of the cassette quality loss occurs
directly only for digitization. And although the presence of PC
normal speakers, I did not differ playback 16bit 44kHz audio
CD on it and on a good CD player'e (bear to me, probably in the 
ear occurred), with 8bit 11kHz on Speccy, this difference is 
very noticeable; increase the sampling rate to 22kHz hardly 
helps. Hence, as far as I understand, if you want good quality, 
CD need to pop in Kulnev center, and from him to pull the cord 
to the input com. Apologize in advance if there something to 
catch up - in this I actually almost complete goof.


   / 03.29.1999 / As I wrote in the news lately I have
master apathetic and pofigistskie mood :-( engaged in
predsonny period of soul-searching, I kazhestsya, found the 
cause this. Maybe, for me, and quietly, but I'm very fickle man 
- working more than six months over DIEsel'em (why so long Yes 
because I'm doing the brakes are: write a dozen lines in XAS'e, 
keep the source and start to walk around the room - just so, 
for no reason), I gradually begin to cool down to it, and 
motivates me, just the desire not to be considered finished 
lamer, and not the thought of having this very DIEsel'a. Try 
entering the state of affairs of those little about this heard 
or heard for the first time: DIEsel, when I, finally, completed 
yet, will have, of course, copy files (ms <-> TR, ms <-> ms, TR 
<-> TR), view the texts (with ms and TR), convertible 
PCX-screens in the Spectrum alone and piles (anime, for 
example), envelopes 64x48_grayscale_PCX-files in the 
chunky-texture (again, singly or in batches) and moved to 
ms-DOS disc images TR-DOS disk (*. TRD files), pick out of these

most *. TRD native TR-DOS files (again, singly or en masse)
and maybe something else - if you come up with. Months
five or six years ago I figured out the format ms-DOS disks 
(FAT and other Labuda), wrote the PCX-smotrelku, and only 
recently finished shell (Paracels said that steep, but it seems 
to me - nothing special) and took the stuffing.


   So, did not finish mustDIEsel, I'm starting to glance around
in search of something new. Do not even know it is good or
bad ...

   Already quite late, and tomorrow, rather today, since morning
must gnaw granite science, so I say goodbye to you. Prior to 
the meeting. 


                                                    Yours truly,

P.S. Perhaps, this section will grow into a permanent - if so,
then write (eternal ;-) problem), not zagnetsya complex and not
will do a lot of feedback types: do what you want, just close
breadslicer :-)
