                       Izhevsk Gazette

(C) RTD / BrC Izhevsk

 On materials news Informal BBS and with the active assistance

                           Noviset'a.



    ak turned out that the newspaper did not Izh News
go out for more than six months. For this
time in the arena of local Spectrum occurred some events, which 
will go and discussed in this article. In the title there is no 
word "News" - too large range

time will be considered. Wide range of readers this section may 
seem shallow, but ... Our electronic edition for that and 
created to illuminate the situation in Izhevsk. By this and 
begin (text reminds hronopis, but you already know why).



  In winter, some time after the previous issue Izh News (# 
0Brutal), Group X-Team and decided to organize a Hoax

Izhevsk local demoparty. Local
group supported the idea, began to rivet
work for the competition. Doubt that
it will be remained until the spring.

  December 30, 2000. Has organized a new
group, which later will be called
"Discipline." Its members are Solderman
(Fractal) and his classmate Sinus ZX.


  January 6 station opened Informal BBS.
Spectrum other stations in town with
early autumn (when he had to talk
of "suspended animation" Izh-Net). Sysops - RTD and
Solderman.

  In early January, the public became aware of the existence of 
four more spektrumistov (in our time, the news is extremely 
pleasant). Korund, Layer, Gus and Sinus ZX. 

  Then ASCII transferred in March to
quite objective reasons: the demos yet
ready, the people once, etc. His demos are preparing X-Team, 
BrC, TRG, Hoax, Himik's ZxZ, Discipline. Also on patyu invited 
a group of nearby towns: Tchaikovsky, Sarapul, Glazov. 


  February. Informal BBS announces
of a "Global Survey" among
Izhevsk admirers Speccy. His results are not yet published.

  X-Team releases LMD.


  March. Demopati moved closer to April.

  March 31, 2001, the day of strong magnetic storms and rally 
in central Moscow in protection of the then TV Guide

NTV, took a momentous event for the local Spectrum. ASCII. That 
report written the day after the party.



                           -31 March

                       Feast of the Spectrum


  The First Izhevsk demopati Agressive Spectrum Compo
In Izhevsk. It was attended by a group of Izhevsk, Sarapul,
Glazov, Neftekamsk, Kazan. In the category "Music ORIGINAL" was 
attended by 7 works, in the category "Music COPY" - 6 works in 
"GFX Compo" - 10 images in "Demo Compo" - four demos. Dema from 
Brutal Creators ranked second, deme from a chemist - the third 
from "Discipline" - the fourth. Took first place Glazovskaya 
deme "Quarantine". She looked spectacular others. The fight for 
second place developed between demami of BrC and the chemist. I 
was a Chemist strong code, but still did not look very 
impressive (monitory!) and excessively prolonged. At the same 
BrC (deme shown first) code was not so "cool". The story and 
animation DeMouy pulled into second place. 

  With regard to the organization, then it was all done very 
well. A significant disadvantage were three bad show monitor 
who "ruined" the dignity of some demos and och-h-ry many 
pictures. Music was really hard for listening. Then if done too 
loud, or anything else ... Before, Actually, the competitions, 
the organizers (X-Team) appears and somewhere to disappear, and 
the registration of participants (from 11:00 to 13:00) spent 
Himik's ZxZ. Important (if not decisive) role in the 
organization played a club director, "The Mechanic" (where all 
the action took place). Were invited and broadcaster. They 
came, they took A number of interviews, pozadavali general 
questions to party. Organisers, Wishing, perhaps, to ensure the 
presence of all participants and guests a musical contest (that 
they were able, on the other party of the people during Music 
Compo loves to go out ...), put this Competition in the 
beginning of the program (the graphics, and for dessert - 
demos) but do not take into account the impatience of unusual 
guests: do not endure the sound of our AY, TK "Teleinform" left 
[for the authenticity of this I do not I answer, because have 
not seen] party (and courageous "FA" lasted almost:) By the 
end, having had time to shoot a couple of demos ...). Draw 
order in which the work was suddenly canceled, and all the 
works displayed in order of their registration [as it seemed to 
me] ... At the end of winners (top three) received certificates 
and cash prizes other participants were presented with 
appreciation. Again, the will Director of the club, the prize 
fund was increased slightly;). 

  Impressions from spektrumistov party were mostly very 
positive. Although, of course, there are both critics and 
brawlers. But in general, I think, party a success.



  A more detailed story about the party, written Noviset'om is 
in this newspaper somewhere nearby. :) Great so, great! :)


  To ASCII finally found out that
Group Hoax, if not collapsed, it has significantly reduced its 
membership. The group had only one Sting ... 

  X-Team release DeMouy a party did not manage,
making this a week or two, then tried to hold the alternative 
vote with their work. Than all over, I do not know.


  Expert and Professor left the group TRG
due to lack of free
time. As part remained Monohrom,
siSoft and Overaye.


  April. siSoft provides spektrumistam-realschikam access 
FIDO'shnym eham, Moreover organized local echo

also available to holders of Vicomm-modems. The first time she 
is in great success, there is active communication groups

TRG and BrC. Gradually topic of conversation
"Shrinking", the activity decreases, but the result ekhi 
extremely positive. 

  X-Team reorganized. Apart from the main
nucleus in the group are 4 other people. Now X-Team, consisting 
of 7 spektrumistov, is the largest group of Izhevsk

working for the benefit of our Speccy. Leader
becomes Eastman, replacing the post Steep'a.


  May. List of Subjects activists replenished. Infant joined a 
group of their peers, they are about 15 years.


  Informal BBS does not work. Cause - Faulty Profi.

  May 9, 2001 took place "gathering"
Local spektrumistov.


  The meeting was scheduled for 5 pm, but before it was 
announced beginning of the event in 4:00. Terrible wind 
slightly spoiled the mood. Gathered at the corner of the store 
"Sports goods, that near State Council. X-Team, TRG, BrC, a 
little later - Discipline and Hoax. 

  Celebrations were chaotic. Just after a walk in the
Central Square, BrC'shniki sipped "national" drink (except 
Renegade RTD), and even other people who had, who later 
committed a similar ritual. Remained completely sober 
discipline. As a result, stopping at a stall BrC and 
disciplined Solderman behind the bunch, led by X-Team'ovtsami. 
Then he caught up. The direction of movement of the crowd still 
looked like the action function RND. Suddenly someone came (and 
was immediately made public) thought that, well, that's what we 
go for X-Team, so for X-Team? "A bold idea!" - Someone 
remarked. And a bunch consisting of TRG, BrC and Discipline and 
resolutely moved back toward "sporting goods". X-Team Hoax and 
remained in the square, and follow their movements unknown to 
me. Congregation split into two ... 

  Approached Infant, did not drink beer, talked with the 
discipline (he is now member of this young group). The next 
beer was drinking. Noviset somewhere he wants and BrC with TRG 
withdrew. Monohrom stayed. 

  Expired visited the shop, some sort of construction, some 
have used it on purpose ... There was a something stronger than 
beer. Then returned to the discipline and Monohrom'u. Infant 
had already left. 

  Overaye, one of Zateynik all parties, people took him to one 
slave route. The way lay through the hospital complex, where 
there was some kind of a handful of obviously not very 
"cultural" resting youth. Do not have time to escape the 
hospital grounds as tumbled a hefty drunken style with Koresh, 
steel drive all incoherent blur, shake questionable documents 
and credit cards, wanting to show their "coolness." More or 
less intelligent spektrumisty stopped in confusion. Meet 
requirement guy to share a drink is clearly not wanted. Then 
his sidekick was an attempt to show strength - hit in Sinus'a. 
But Fortunately (?), thought the attackers were in complete 
chaos, they distracted, and belated cries of "hey, where are 
you, guys?" not helped spektrumistov return, hurried to 
continue a path that led ... the grocery store.


  Ever since the construction PIXel burned insidious thought - 
drink RTD. Part of this plan was to get renegade buy a pack of 
crisps. In the grocery store as discipline, realizing that 
nothing good to the party no longer and left the event, remains 
in general, satisfaction with the communication. PIXel also 
started to implement their desires. Making the RTD does not buy 
beer managed against the chip, he did not mind ... "Odd" 
remained. Took to the streets. Dense pile surrounded by RTD, 
coaxing a drink. PIXel as a "mock" form made a number of 
threats, they say, shells! But felt sorry for ... beer ...


  After a very bad (for me) episode tusovka continued. 
Apartment SiSoft'a. Were shown the work of the SiSoft'a and 
Monohrom'a on a PC, a number of PC'shnyh demos and Mouzon. 

  After this patya ended, people went to their homes.

  On the whole crowd could be called, held, except
split with the X-Team. However, it was natural.


  June. PoS-WT group plans to organize the next demopati itself,
but now it is supposed to be not
will be characterized by "local". Will be accepted from all over
Russia and, possibly, beyond. TRG and
Hoax preparing demos for the upcoming contest.

  X-Team wrote Alex'u gift. To ASCII
they were called a few more projects:
game (say, something like Megatron'a) and
the second issue of the journal "ZX RULEZ" (recently
if you believe the rumors, somewhere there was a newspaper with 
the same name). 

  In TRG have a difficult time. The band was DeMouy, on which 
work was in full swing, "the percentage of interest," as the 
authors say, but the most unpleasant event happened: the main 
coder of the group (SiSoft'a) stole the computer, on a screw 
which is the source ... The question of creating

third number Ultimathum'a that time was still open (to do or 
not do?). Now, it is difficult to say anything about the plans

TRG.

  Group Hoax, consisting of two persons
(Sting'a and GUS'a), pleased Gift
Korund'a, urging him to join the
group. While Korund refuses. Except
of Hoax'y busy creating its electronic journal "Spectral", 
which promises to release soon. 

  Past six months, local Spectrum pursues some dark wave of 
trouble. With the "enviable" constant out of system hardware 
(obsolete machinery?). At first it was thought that the chain of

accidents associated with the work of I-BBS, rather, is 
directed against it. Around the same time, "povybivalo" modems 
several people (Infant, User (he could would become a user of 
the station)), y Monohrom'a with Expert'om disconnected phone 
Due to the change rooms. Active users is almost gone. Has not 
disappeared charge enthusiasm sisopov not allowed close BBS. 
Then they have (I have that is to say) burned down the monitor. 
Fortunately, there are good people in the world (Sinus ZX), and 
while the monitor is being repaired, was used by another. 
Closer to the summer began to break down the components 
(Monohrom 'Expert, RTD' Solderman - Work BBS is not possible). 
I burned two Noviset'a PZU'hi, yes, and complex, like, broke 
down - even before party. But, apparently, all this was not 
directed against I-BBS, but against Spectrum (Or just a string 
of failures without any purpose). If these events add another 
double steal company (PC) siSoft'a (The first time the computer 
was able to return, in second - there is not), then the BBS 
there appears only as a private offering of one of

many. siSoft - TRG main encoder and creator of the local Ehi, 
and the subsequent accident - a strong blow to the entire 
project group.


  If last year's Izhevsk Spectrum
could be called the year modemizatsii, then
this - the year of virtualization. On PC transformed Infant, 
Pix, RTD 'Solderman. Noviset and Monohrom also thinking about 
this transition. Of course, no one to throw the Spectrum going. 
Expected to change only the sign "realschik" to "emulyatorschik 
(this formally, the real effect of PC significantly increases, 
begins "In INTREGRATSIYA PISYUK", ie yuzayutsya active network, 
Gama, leaving less time at the Spectrum that

already happening (very popular DOOM and
QUAKE ...)).

  The question is: is not related to whether the transition from
"Disasters" half? Then what is the cause, and that - the 
result? What can make a style emulyatorschika finally leave the 
real Spectrum, than it (Spectrum) frequent breakdowns? ..

However, this is only speculation, although my
Profik (and monitor) never came out
system, while next to him did not appear PC ...
Okay, jokes aside.

  I keep thinking about whether to consider Izh-Net
(Having its charter) who left in oblivion? By
Indeed, if the grid is not dead, it is qualitatively changed, 
gradually to a new base - PC. The old statute is not relevant, 
it establishes the order of BBS'ok and users through 
VICOMM-modems. Stations operating solely in this mode, no. 
There (was, at least) siSoft'a station, which

broadcast spektrumistam-realschikam fidoshnye ekhi, created its 
own local, being, in essence, fidoshnoy station. Communication 
as usual VICOMM'ovtsev naturally chaotic and does not depend on 
any organization. On the other hand, people are somehow the 
same remained. Maybe we simply have too little

so loudly called network?

  Most recently, in the city there was one
wonderful event. Born chemist, Jr. (son Himik's ZxZ)! He has 
already been christened beautiful Russian name Yaroslav.
