PARADOX 2k +1 - a belated report MICK-and, of all atrocities and distorted what was going on last PARADOX demoparty.

__________________________________________

... All who are very much waiting for materials
on "PARADOX-e" can mess oneself with happiness
as Now they will tell about it.
And for those who failed were present at the party,
I can only sympathize.
Guys! You squander supersobytie! Come and visit us next year, 
do not regret it! 

PARADOX 2k +1 was "Hurrah." It was a surprising number of 
participants and guests. The local press did not leave this 
event without attention, but in the beginning give the word

Mick-y from the DPL:

   Arriving home, I glanced at the clock, they
showed 18:24, then about twenty
nazad minutes ended the last day
PARADOX'a 2001 ... But I'll start from the beginning.


               The first day.


   I went to 9:00 straight to the venue PARADOX'a where stood 
Dimon, Snake, Disabler. I started with them to wait for 
arrivals. 

   About 10 hours podehala Gazelle from
kotoroy, got out and began Jocker other organaizer'ami pull out 
of the car computers, which were about 10 mi-nis

and 2 family Spectrum. The whole thing started
in 12 hours. The room is air-conditioned and it was pretty 
cool. When looking through all the input protection, taking

large bags, bottles, and other large
opasnye and objects (such as knives, brass knuckles
guns, sharpening, two-handed swords, bazookas
etc. - Ed. ). Next was a rather
a long queue which were all
zaranee who register. At the table
simapatichnye were two girls in white
T-shirts with the inscription "OKI" (This is one of
sponsors) buyout should have been called a
NICK and the city from which I came. After
togo how I did it, I was given
application form for participation, ballpoint pen with the 
inscription "PARADOX demo party" and a kilogram of ads from 
sponsors. 


   On the first day were:

                      tradicional music

                      web design

                      zx ay music

                      zx graphics


   tradicional music started normally,
but after 6 tunes and there was confusion
Some work has been started several times. In this regard, it 
was com pereneseno the next day.



   Web design.

   First job was Dimon'a, which
submitting your site for a long time muttering into a 
microphone as much as two sheets in advance napisannogo text. 
Therefore, no one really understood what he's saying. A second 
job predstavlyal not the author, but she was colorful and it 
was her advantage. 


   ZX-ay music was pleasantly surprised by their bass. Lichno I 
liked only the last 7 job, which became the winner, 
incidentally, the author KlimOHG. But as I said Disabler, what 
other work has been DO NOT worse, but this equipment they 
played sovsem not. 


   ZX-graphics. schedule shown on the pc,
since Spectrum was like for the past
"Paradoksy" black and white (even without gradations
gray).


   In addition to this were funny konnkursy
for spectators, as well as realtime gfx'a draw had to be the 
future of the Internet, but came out sucks.


On this first day was completed and all
inogorodnih drove to a rest.


               Second day.

The second day was to begin at 12 o'clock, but pochemu 
something started in connection with 11.V This mnogie 
porpustili 2.1 parts. 

The second day took the remaining contests, namely:

                 pc demo

                 pc 64k intro

                 traditional music

                 alternative music

                 mp3 music

                 render gfx

                 4-chnl music

                 zx digital music

                 zx 4k intro

                 zx demo


   Very much got the music, how to pc
and ZX, but the Speccy was actually
Section 3 works, but lost only two,
as Klim in Popyhi confused. And to put this tune then nebylo 
possible due to time constraints. pc'shnaya the music was as 
always monotonous and boring, tolko mp3 music was more or less 
priyatnoy. 


   Render gfx pleased with their variety and professionalism.


   ZX 4k intro was one and not particularly zapomnilas.


   In ZX demo is played by two works,
by Coders academy and Accep corporation.
Demos were clearly weak since
Accept'ov wrote DeMouy know who, but for
Coders Academy written by a man fully
itself (except music) which has only two
Year nazad appeared Speccy


   Pc 64 k intro participated 5 works
but also not particularly zapomnilas.


   Pc demo all four papers were surprisingly strong, but 
especially all surprised poslednyaya fourth operation whose end 
was marked by long applause. I'm sure it will go to the best 
raboty world.

  In general, Paradox was cool, but without
cons still not done, but all of them
still was significantly lower in comparison with previous 
paradoxes. And so I want to separately identify the pros and 
cons. 

Let's start with the cons:
The first drawback. This time, as always. Since the posters 
appeared on the walls only in vtoroy day.


Ed. Did you ever own, I realized what I said?

Another minus. This black-white spectrum, which flatly refused 
to work with a projection TV. Therefore, graphics and had to 
skip the demo on pc due to This pervaya demo near the end of 
hanging. 

Ed. If you give me the next PARADOX provide multimedia projector
personal use of the two days before the exhibition,
everything will be normalno.I Speck color, and the work will 
not hang, and you will no desh clever.


Third minus.Otsutsvie preselekta. Therefore,
there was a whole bunch of work that is of no value, but only 
picked up dragotsennoe time. 

Ed. On this occasion I would like to see
that each person has their own subjective
nye notions of beauty and quality. And this
fact excludes the holding of any kind preselekta. The only 
rule-one work from the party. But it someone was able to bypass 
(who and how-you know yourself). By the way, and he somehow 
you're not afraid, that I thought your work is not enough 
quality and beautiful? Think ...


Fourth. This is something that the organizers could
would be several days before the festival to eksperementalnuyu 
installation of equipment, then they would have gone much less 
time to install. 

Ed. At other times, we will ask you
rent "TITANIC" for four days.

Pyatyy.Pri any malfunctions not soobschalos public, in this 
regard were DO NOT yasnye breaks and all sorts of leftist 
thought. 

Ed. I'm not sure that it has lowered to
Number of problems. And on the left the Cape
ley can recommend a cold shower before bed and a physically 
active lifestyle. And no night TV programs for adults

And then your left thinking is reflected in the
your creativity (sm.rabotu MICK-and at last PARADOX-e).


   But despite this there were many more pluses. Here are some 
of them: 

1 In the room was security, which excluded the settlement of 
conflicts by force. 

prim.red.Da not be afraid, nobody will beat
not going to.

2 Very comfortable voting system.

prim.red.Ne would say ...

3 No alcoholic beverages (generally

   they are normally are, but at this price ...)

prim.red.Ya not think it's a plus.

4 In comparison with previous Paradox

   pauses and delays were less.

5 huge plus was the fact that when you log

  anketoy issued with branded pens.

prim.red.Eto for you so important?

The presence of six competitions in the pauses.

All seven have enough seating.

prim.red.Kak you say? Seats? Yes, I
at last PARADOX-e and foot was "not bad.

8 Excellent room with air conditioning.

And much more.

And lastly I want to thank all the organizers as This paradox 
of organization is better than all prediduschie together.

Special thanks Klim'u, Wild'u, Jocker'u
for our beloved Speccy.

prim.red.Pozhaluysta.A you so much for stati.A another time if 
they will be so many mistakes, and I'll have them again to fix 
up to 3 nights, I lie down in the morning bainki, and you go to 
work instead of me!
