Demopati - intervyu taken Kvazar on CC'999 Alexander Filippova from Vladivostok.

    Unlike Artem
Kharitonov, "the guy from
Vladivostok was more
than talkative ...


    AF> My name is Alexander
Filippov, I come from
Vladivostok. Occupy almost
I love to coding,

Vladivostok. Collaborate with
Stas Yudin ... What
campaign lead - this is
probably does not count ...


    KVZ> Why? Mozhno
dwell on this more
detail.


    AF> Well, in principle, it is worth
of course, tell. Probably
should begin with the invention
ad. This is best
do on the PC, as there
more opportunities and even
get much prettier.
It looks as follows
(There were two options now
ready for the third): the edges
ad at the top left
and lower right corners were
ordinary images from
toys. Were taken mainly
those that are best
look at B / W version,
as non-white printing -
quite expensive
pleasure. The text was taken,
You can tell from the soul, but also
with knowledge ... In general, for
a successful advertising
campaign to find
a man who was not lazy
would, at least once a week,
vylazit from its lair and
look for those trolleys,
trams, subway and all those places
where it is not pasted
ad. Moreover, this
companion should be aware that
for him to be chasing
controllers, police and all
and sundry, especially my grandmother
with sticks. This is the first step.
Usually after it, during the
approximately two weeks
appears about ten people from
which is two, but can
and there was none ...


    The next stage - should be
try to enter the
television or newspapers. C
the latter is probably still
simpler, because it is profitable
the newspaper itself and does not require a
you a penny, you probably
pay for it. To buy
pile of newspapers, dig, find
those in which there are articles on
computers, and still
how (PC, MAC, AMIGA ...)
in short, where there are headings
Computer Plan, contact
with the editor of this column.
If you do not know specifically its
coordinates, we find the Editor
the newspaper, go there,
According to their data types:
there is such a group,
engaged in computer
SPECTRUM, already so many years,
that the rabid fans, and that you were
would not mind to print about us.
We, in turn, pledge to
prepare an article. Usually
Newspaper predyavlyaet requirements
that your article did not contain
advertising, had no
specific terms and
had smaller numbers, tk,
according to the law of statistics,
each digit decreases the number of
readers exactly twice.

    If the first article
Like, you can order
further. We have so
happened. Now Stas wrote
for the fourth story, while I
then skip ... :-)


    KVZ> Interestingly, and fees
pay?


    AF> As for fees, I have
He did not ask, but the idea
must pay. Although this
it does not matter. The very fact
what about you write a newspaper
sold over a million
instances, it is a
attractive. For example, already
after first publication, we
found the people to whom we

by the ad or
through television.

can be many times. Exit at
Television is more difficult because
advertising time there is
quite expensive. But even here
You can find out if you leave
to channels associated with either
training, or a hobby.

    Next comes the treatment of
editors. By the way, never
must approve the type "Why
do not you print it? You also have to
bad will not? ". This
approach usually yields nothing.
We need to find something that will
beneficial or newspaper, or
personally to the person who will be a
print. There are different
cases, sometimes it is necessary
literally bribes in the form
boxes of chocolates, champagne,
but worth it. Candy
You can buy a couple of times, it
would cost fifty dollars, and
an extra person on the Spectrum -
it is more expensive than any money.
Generally it is all ... :-)


    KVZ> As I understand it, your
main areas of expertise -
organayzing? And for what purpose
you've come to CC'99,
Whether taking part in
any component on which
platforms?


    AF> I take I'm just
"ZX-SPECTRUM", because I - an ardent
a fan of this company, other

minutes before the computer, and
after the Speccy, where all

no longer wants to see any
Windows, nor WorkBench, or
something else.

    Organayzingom I do
not one, but together with Stas -
Stanislav Yudin. Who knows?
He often appears on the channel
IRC-Z80, known on the Internet
(Unfortunately we have to Fido
DC is no way out). Stas
probably the only one who
wrote something more or less
finished: it is somewhat

(Although only for Scorpion)
the next thing: load it,
from her load "ZX-FORMAT" and
at any time
use Magic'om:
upload articles, watch the code
all of it up to the Ninth
numbers beginning with the third.
The program has since not
changes, and works so
then in order, so that the gentlemen
of the "ZX-FORMAT'a" should be

    KVZ> "Format" it appears that

I wonder anyone of them
will be to the party?


    AF> Well, of course,
Commercial is good, but I
doubt on the Spectrum
You can do something
earn. The only way
write something global, and
to do so should
spend a lot of energy and nerves.
Perhaps in the future, and I
write a toy, but
I will spread fairly
unusual - will change
license versions of the game
to the license version
magazines, and give it to them in
application.



    KVZ> Interesting approach ...

    AF> Of course! License to

100 rubles, and DEJA VU-8

Even wanted to write to them: "Can

but when engaged in similar
matters very little time

I want to make sure that

Institutions that can not
afford the IBM PC. In
principle with the computers themselves
no problems arise,
only zakavyka - is
quality monitors. And the most
a big problem that I have already
tested on its own
skin, is that any school
and government organizations
predyavlyaet stringent
to the standards. And this
the specifications of the monitor should
go low electromagnetic
radiation, but our monitors

this requirement is not something that is not

to open a nuclear bomb ...


    KVZ> I would like to touch
another topic. How are things
now the case with the Speccy in
Vladivostok?


    AF> Well, a year ago, I would

Stas persuaded me to do
organayzingom, I have to do it
and things started not so much

grow up. Here are just a
month prior to my departure for

which proved to be an artist,
his brother and Programmer

    It is possible that at

   KVZ> What kind of toy?


    AF> it looks like
game of "Zombie", but I will not lie
he did not play. By type
movement very
smacks of "Labyrinths
death, but the game is more
a cross between "Star Heritage" and
"TWILIGHT". I want to immediately
say that the graphics are completely

high-quality, all
characters recognizable without
problems, yes, and Ambassador Kosh

was able to identify with difficulty, it is
