                    LITTLE INTRODUCTION:)



   Less than a half-year:) as I am, finally, to carve out
spare time, so nakaryabat couple of impressions of CC999.
Although, wait a minute, probably all the same will not 
suffice, because these impressions were so many that if I were 
heavily rotated - right 'd have said - "impressions was to 
asses!" ;) 


   Actually, I was hoping that other decent relieve People
me from this drudgery of getting your delusions of Zx-Word'e 
themselves write a couple of "ferocious" reports (hint, eh? 
":)), but these comrades a little, like, zazhralis and decided 
to let it to itself, that is very, very disappointing and I 
would even say - fucking soverschenno and irresponsible! :))) 
Must be at least occasionally get out of the warm and 
uyutnenkoy grave and sensitive warm up, do not forget to coach 
in the women's marathon distance accidentally walking through 
the cemetery passers ... ;) 


   Well, where to begin, sir? Okay, persuaded - from the 
beginning ... But not with very, very, not from fairy tales: 
about the refrain, too, because should not be forgotten! :)



   So, in tridevyatom kingdom, tridesyatom state in the land
Zauralski there lived a good fellow and his name was Ivan-Doo 
... ugh! - SerzhSoft his name was, of course! :))) Hab he fared,

protsedurki / Wikipedia wrote, was generally competent and 
politically responsible comrades ... Mentally stable / not seen 
/ did not was involved ... :)



   Land speculation is rife, and according to this, the news 
reached him unheard of buduyuschem gigs unprecedented, 
Constructions Chaos'999 demoparty proud name ... Decided to 
fellow revel in this event, but not in detsele, and in full

growth! And he began to prepare introsy low volume, though it 
was for him kodit a strained, but in the rush! :)))



   Shit! Tale kind of goes straight! :) Well, it ... tudyt! ;)
In general, I took a lot of money (as well as FunTop98) boarded 
the train, which is the poezdaty, and went to Peter ... Prior 
to this, of course, had terrible pass the session, but let's 
not all about dirty tricks remember the good I passed, albeit 
with the n-th call ... :))) 


   So the fierce period of coding introh exactly
fell on a lousy time for each student! ;) A CC999
Gift 16K I generally finished in one hour (!) To train, barely 
had time Shoot! :))) Finally, I still ran to Evg'u - Druganov / 
classmate (PC), from which I crawl in, and sometimes no, and 
unscrewed it to a pair of pre-rendered images - in order to put 
them together to party on his face ... :)



   A couple of days I was shaking in the car of an express 
train on open spaces our vast country, passing through various 
Spectrum'skie City-heroes, like Perm :)))... It is true we have 
passed it at night, so get out and run down / to see the guys 
from the 4D, I, heh, heh, no smog. ;) In the city on the Neva, 
I arrived on July 1, where I was from orchestra:) met my 
relatives in the face of guys and cousin sister, which actually 
turned out to be later great-aunt, although almost the same age 
with me! :) 


   After the violent manifestations, and responsible 
applications, I finally unable to get into the phone, that call 
finally a certain Merlin'u. :) After going to St. Petersburg 
from all contact addresses I only knew his phone number and 
place of the party remained a mystery to me! :) As I was naive! 
:))) Not only for all the time in Spb, I could not catch on

end of the line of the subject, is it even his mother could not
enough to give me a plausible answer to the question about the 
upcoming festival and was very much surprised by this news! :) 
This is I mean, this is a real joint contact phone number - is 
on our way, the Brazilian! :)))



   Here I am a bit panicked, because it was convinced that
tomorrow will CC999 (ie 2 numbers - well, I messed up, messed up
:)), And had no clue - where to go! : (More
phone no I did not know, let alone address the more ... Remained
the only way out - INTERNET! :))) Oh, it was the idea, so
pair with my cute little sister, we went in search of
of the 9 th wonder of the world! ;)


   The reality was a shock! None of the Petrograd was not
state is consistent and intelligible explanation - where there
the nearest Internet cafe! ;) Open your mouth and eyes 
collapsing Here are the most common reaction ... Strange, but 
sellers computer stores and even in the gambling halls could 
not be anything help in solving this issue! * B-[]



   Absolutely ofigev of such illiteracy, we
continued to ply the city, admiring in passing local
sights and almost "cultural experience" ... :))) No
know what would could have ended the whole thing if my sister
not noticed next to the "Book World" a bunch of different glued 
on wall ads, among which were (Ura! Hurrah!) invitation

visit some cafes and, no, hosted by some out there
Institute IFMO (Seems so sounds:)) ... Shrieked Protectors
shoes and away we go ... :)))


   In short, after a while you can already see me
happily sitting at a computer screen and frantically
switch between the windows and mIRC'i ICQ'i ... ;) Especially 
pleased price "provides Internet service - only 15

rubles per hour! :) We have, for example, the same hour inet'a
costing as much at 25 rubles, which is quite expensive! :) 
Though, I have there is a suspicion that if a good search, then 
Peter can find access to the network and cheaper ... :)))



   Yes, # z80 - this, of course, the power! :) Lucky for me on 
the channel was quite literate and sophisticated in terms of 
demoscene people, and after a while Ars / FTL dictated to me a 
list of "Emergency Phone Numbers For Lost in the wilds

Endless Peter. ";) Thank you very much, old Ars!:) Homeland
will never forget you! :))) A couple telefonchik dictated a
Creator, for he, too, big thx! It turns out that many 
Petrograders did not know about the conduct of CC999, that's 
Creator, too, for example, has not been heard! , (So much so 
infa spread ... : (



   Yes, it is an evil thing - the Internet ... ;))) And as 
addictive! :) Until the evening I was no longer get out of the 
keyboard, so I hastily wrote down on a sheet of address of the 
local place of residence and how to get out of i-cafes, and, 
with calm conscience, let my sister back home ... :)))



   Completely invisible while flying over funky conversations
with Ars / FTL, MarchCat'om and other regulars of # z80 and 
soon too to me it was time to take your ass on the chair and 
hop up to the house that I with reluctance, and did ... ;) Time 
was too late and I barely managed to close the subway. ;) 
Reaching the desired station, I found familiar driveway, and 
suddenly at an impasse ... And, as in forward and figuratively! 
:) The fact that day-I once was at the apartment (as here), but 
when we came out, I just glanced - where, and now suddenly

confused! It was found that one house as it were, takes a
quarter, and consists of several buildings, and entrances and
Apartments are numbered with the explicit use of RND! :) BTW, 
do not funny! : (In addition, another night in the courtyard, 
dark, and looks everything is wrong, both in the daytime! After 
a half-crawl all entrances, I thought that seemed RND was not 
static, but - for sure Dynamic! :) Having decided to call home 
and call for backup:) I began to search for the nearest pay 
phone, but after passing 3 quarters, realized that they are all 
females, on the cards, but not for tokens work! : (Nabredya on 
police car, I was in such a state nestoyaniya (tired:) and not 
what you thought otherwise what the hell, the police! :)))), 
That the plaintive wailing about poor students, bored stay with 
relatives and creepy zaplutavshih, begged them to call home ... 
Two staff was stunned at each other, then one of them,

thinking with half a minute gave the phrase - the hit of the 
season: "And we have - portable radio! "I realized that it's 
easier to go to continue to walk than detract from his heroic 
service "friends with walkie-talkie! :) And Actually, people 
did not seem angry, very sincerely wanted help ... :)))



   After wandering even with half an hour and beating all the 
entrances, I finally still found the hidden door and opened it 
(even the day I given key), trying not to make noise (it was 
night already and all asleep!) reached my bed ... Press Reset 
... ;))) 


   The next morning I come to grips with obzvanivaniem available
phone numbers. First things first, called Random'u - Ars gave
his St. Petersburg Phone. Some sort of Auntie surprised voice
told that there is no Random'ov however, did not live on
No one party is not going to go ... :))) Ars, you're pinned,
Do something, damn gameboy'ny? ;))) Second, I dialed the number
LD / X-Trade, but suddenly fell into a tube flow Modem
information, and a little ofigev on this answer (BBS?), I 
started call the firm "Scorpio". Someone terribly hangover voice

grumbled that no one now there is no cost to call oposlya ... :)
Further, the plan was Copperfield, ugh, sorry, - Copper Feet,
Of course! :))) Cheerful voice of Glory offered hope of a full
abolition of the end of the world:) and answered all questions 
on the CC (and CV, of course:)) ... Glory even learned 
something there on the map of Peter to describe me more as I 
get up tomorrow party place! :) Here is my understanding that 
it would be necessary next time do CF informal contact 
informant CC000! :))) In short, I want to with full 
responsibility: Glory Glory! ;) 


   Unexpectedly, on the other end as
podtusovyvaetsya:) Arty / DR, so it was possible to find a pair 
of News about CC and personally from him ... For example, it 
appeared that while the Arty booze Slava here in St. 
Petersburg, steamed Flying sleeves rolled up with might and 
main plow over demos, picking it up startup'nogo state; well 
and will come only tomorrow morning ... :))) 


   Virtually immediately (less than a half-hour after the first
call) I called again LD, but the handset instead of a modem, 
and the more Dimitri, has ... his mom! ;))) Found that LD 
"sniffs in the hole "after a stormy night fuck with a modem and 
therefore wake it completely impractical, and even our own 
peril! :))) Of course, literally had to say something wrong, 
but the basic idea I caught ... ;)



   Merlin'a, as usual, the house was not observed ... : (A
some time, I again called the "Scorpion". At this time
a good man long painted that all the organizers
CC999 evening will go to school (location) and the whole night 
will be there to build hardware ... :) I also explained in 
detail how access to the firm itself "Scorpion" ... In general, 
I finally was loaded with the necessary infoy and therefore 
with a clear conscience went in place in order to pass the 
contest works ... 


   And the heat in St. Petersburg was just terrible! :) 
Continuing had to buy cooling drinks, which resulted in

During my stay in the city on the Neva, just fucking
amount! :))) In general, from the subway station that we first 
stamp right, then straight across the bridge a quarter, and 
then immediately to the left ... I did, to find the right home 
and crawled all right, but this case is not an obstacle. :) So, 
I go to college, and there at the entrance straight politburo 
some - walking up the stairs to the table that sit ... someone 
you think? :) No, Grandma-vahtersha! :) What? Mesons? :))) 
Hehe, do not have guessed ... ;)) I sit ... Cossacks! In! :) 
And to get you to prescribe a special pass, which is in Scorpio 
should also mark then deliver! ;) To the full sureze! :))) 
Anyway, I went to basement, where there is the notorious firm 
... ;) 


   A pair of small small rooms, one of which jammed with compact
for PC, a couple with two by the PC ... ;) Wanders over the 
room Mandor (He was one of org'ov CC, security) with a mobile 
phone and is constantly responds to customer calls, moreover, 
is that customers no spektrumisty way - it is clear even to me 
... :))) Also met with Ilya Fomin, quite perky uncle showed

me a large collection of jokes, we even "given up": my
"Benzoids 512b" on Hochma cockroaches under Windows (running on
screen and under the windows are hidden;)). In general, the 
work I passed, and even tested their performance, but without 
sound ... : (Neighboring little room allotted for the 
Spectrum-lab:), where he sat Sergei Zerov (who later helped to 
CC org'am connection) and poking around in some sort of hard 
... Everything was flooded with debris Scorpions, and one even, 
oddly enough, worked ... ;) In general, C2H5OH 4K start up 
normally, as expected. :))) A present to people the whole thing 
kind of liked that it was a good omen ... :) Then we kindly

goodbye, and I went with a clear conscience in the already 
native, habitable and no-cafe ... :)))



   The remainder of the day passed in cheerful chatter on 
channel # z80 and # cc999. Present rather big number 
spektrumistov: Ars / FTL, MarchCat, Lina / CC, Baze/3SC, Hrum, 
OrangeFox (Diver/4D) etc ... ;) Lina and OrangeFox told that 
Random promised on the party in the middle of the room to put 
as much a box of vodka! :) MarchCat in realtime ran to the 
station and met the train with the MMA and other ZX-people 
traveling to CC. MarchCat then returned for a long time 
excitedly told us about how this happened, and that he Now 
there is a disk with novem of MMA and works for CC ... :) Ars 
was became his untwist these works, but there was no March'a

5.25''floppy drive, so that all the large broken off ... :) I 
spent small pre-com:) where Ars evaluated in real-time and 
C2H5OH SunDay 512b ... :))) Then it turned out that nothing 
Baze/3SC aware of the CC999, and that there are 256 bytes compo 
(PC). And He has just been harvesting for a nomination, but a 
bit smaller volume ... Therefore, we began to incite more 
complete introhu, so I introduced her tomorrow to CC. ;)) Began 
Bazes realtime coding 256b intro compo! :))) Sorry, had already 
been evening and it's time to round ... : (We agreed that 
tomorrow morning to the party I once again race in the cafe and 
download the latest version intro, which Baze zashlet my soap 
... ;) 


   With utretsa again I drew a cafe, guys-organizers
which has welcomed me as an old / good / trusted
customer ... :) Till 11:15, I waited in vain intro from Baze,
simultaneously pinning with Orange Fox, Siril/4D and Lina ... 
At 11 o'clock More painted Hrumer, but time is running out, and 
I went search party place ... ;)))



   Ride was quite easy! :) First, the metro to
Art. Timber, then a bus (!) To Gr. Courage, and again at
Subway, now to the station. Civil Prospect! :))) And then
foot devil-knows-what-a-side! :)))


   Based purely on the innate instinct, I seek out Poper
Bryantseva. ;) Instinct quickly help coming across to meet
passers-by ... :))) But then I wandered into some very lonely
area - there were no passers-by ... While there, over there 
someone stomping. 

   Whew, here and saying the end, who has read - that 
greetz'ets! :) Well and after that start severe everyday life 
of Chaos Constructions 999 demoparty ... :)))
