            RULEZNIKI

                  Part 5

(C) RTD / BrC



  DIOD slowly walked to the window. Before
coder eyes instantly drawn
bright, iridescent colors of different
world.

  It was customary for DIOD'a view from the room in which stood 
his computer, but this every street looked really unusual. On 
the walls of neighboring houses adorned colored translucent 
spots on the sun light yellowing sidewalks were deserted,

slightly purple grass a little stir of
wind and gray porches, which fell
bright, but a nice green light, it seemed
caught sight enchanted the encoder. He
I suddenly realized how to speed up the procedure
O chunks on the screen.

  On the windowsill DIOD climbed the wall, all
as slowly catching fingers
for small rocks, the speakers of his nine-block. Only some
a couple of floors - and you're on the rooftop of
wires can be easily slid down into the
fifth floor of a neighboring house, where dwelt VASTER.

  - How not to fall - thought coder.

  His fingers now and then slipped, and he
quickened the pace perebiraniya hands. As
approximation to the roof of his excitement grew, and has 
already grasped with one hand edge, he saw a dark figure. On 
the roof there was someone, not like the man, and from

He exuded THREAT. DIOD'u was uncanny. He
felt his fingers unbend,
but could not do anything, despite all
efforts.

  Coder heard somewhere at the top of expressive laughter and 
realized that falls into the abyss ... 

  How many effects nakodil? Yes, a lot. Here
then it would be nice cursor poshustree do. With the 
acceleration. And this effect on "Profikah" brake. And 
sometimes howls Mouzon on pisyukavoy clave. Heh, cool, four 
plasma Kulnev work! A fifth, a pancake ... And where is there a 
mistake? 

  The Earth is rapidly approaching. Of yellow, it has slightly 
shifted in the range of kasnyh and orange tones. Closer and 
closer. 

  So where is the mistake?

  Coder realized that no time.

  We ought to debugger.

  Already close!

  Assemble!

  A few meters ...

  RUN!

  - No-ee-em!

  ...

  And all the "hang".

  DIOD hung only five centimeters
from the ground and could not make the slightest
movement. Not one. Even the blood is no longer
run through the arteries, veins, capillaries ...
Everything froze. And the only lingering thought, "Shoot,
messed up again, "leaked on the brain of the encoder
glass into the void.


  Eternity.

  Something stirred in a little brain. One
elektronchik. Another. "1 or 0?" "1!" "And
0? "" 0 !"...


  Feeble stream of life, resurrection
consciousness. "A. .. A-Yes ... D-D-D-ah-ah ... yes!
1! P-at-a-l-l-ee-s-h-s-h-s .... Rule climbing!
Rule climbing! Rulez! W-h-h! Rulez! "


  - Rulez! - DIOD opened both eyes and realized that he woke 
up. Oh, dream about it! - A because I realized how a conclusion 
zaoptimizit chunks! Rulez! 

  Coder dressed, washed, slazit in the fridge, and ate and 
happy back in the room. Kodit effect.


  Nakodiv five Kulnev procedures and fifth
plasma, the encoder tired eyes, and he turned off the comp. 
Looked out the window and was shocked. 

  Shining different colors world friendly
looked at him.

  Illuminated blue-blue porches
yellow grass and red asphalt. But in
this time the world has lived its usual life, and
every now and then at the window flew the huge
bees raznosyaschie pizza ... DIOD examined
all closely. No, it was no longer
just at home, and porches do not resemble
to those to which he was accustomed. They were inhuman design. 
Yes, and DIOD was not in his apartment, and in a room strange 
shape. It was hexagonal, and its walls like light from within a 
pleasant yellow-brown color. The ceiling had dome shape, but 
the dome was almost flat, forming a small bulge.


  DIOD looked at his computer, which was unknown structure in 
the form of hexagonal prism. And the fact that the encoder 
received a monitor, is an article some kind of insect.


  DIOD was somewhat stunned: where is he
turned out to be? ..

  Looked again at the window: everything is still shining, and 
lived in his usual pace. DIOD spread its wings and flew to the 
"sill". Yes, life is seething, but something disturbing has 
touched the consciousness DIOD'a. Some foreboding.


  - Wings? What is happening to me? - DIOD
felt nervously touches his
six legs. - I - bee??

  Suddenly a terrible commotion began. Work in the usual rhythm 
of the "bee" began with moving at a furious pace, forming

continuous streams. As noted DIOD, they
with fantastic speed built fortifications on the outskirts of 
"town" for protection against the "enemy", and "flow" delivered

building material. Attendant
all this terrible roar drowned out the strange
vibrating sound. Coder felt a wave of militant attitudes and 
increasing desire to end the "enemy." He flew with the sill, 
having moved to the wall, crept up. 

  But a moment later the sound has decayed, and there was 
silence. Can not be that the battle has already completed. On 
the horizon lay the former defenders of "city-hive" on the 
streets it was empty. DIOD'a condescended to like: 
"Psihosamolikvidav. Coder did not understand why He learned of 
this, but realized that the "enemies" was apply the powerful 
mass psy-weapons. It is unclear why he did not DIOD

affected by his actions.

  DIOD has continued to climb the wall, and
almost reaching the roof "of his house, felt a mortal danger. 
His legs, paws now and then slid off the wall, having small 
protrusions in the form of small pebbles.


  - It is necessary to crawl on the roof peredavator. -
Thought coder. - We must report the injury
Neighbouring settlements.

  DIOD has accelerated the pace of its ascent, but
excitement continually intensified as it
move up.

  And, already drawn by hand to the roof, he noticed an ominous 
dark figure. Of it "Exodus" thin breeze of death threats. It 
was not a "bee", as one of the "enemy." He was armed, and 
DIOD'a, in general, not boyavshegosya ants, captured the 
horror. Impressed by its size and appearance, DIOD realized 
that falls, wounded by a shot from weapons.


  Where is the error in the fifth plasma?

  This is the end, I got shot ...

  Boat to her now, "prodebazhit" ...

  I fall, I can not fly.

  Assemble!

  The Earth is Near!

  RUN!!!

  ...

  How to kill a bug in effect? ​​..

  DIOD relieved of consciousness
(He has ceased to feel a bee), but not for long. The whole 
world disappeared mysteriously floated, combined with a sense 
of "emerging" and return to his ... 


  DIOD woke up. Because of the windows nice sun shone, warming 
the encoder. Thought: "Here, pancake midday soon." Dressed,

washed, slazit in the refrigerator and eaten.

  Went to the computer. Fifth plasma
still buggy. How pleasant to sit at the
your real computer, as well live in
Their world. Coder did not understand why
suddenly started to feel affection for
The "real" to their existence. Usually
He did not think about it.

  After a long and hard struggle "bug" was
"Prikilen, and correct the effect
pleased the eye DIOD'a.

  Looking out the window and saw a strange coder
a vivid picture: the day was very sunny, and
home lighting, the blue snow and not
less blue sky effect upon DIOD'a
calming. "As I had never noticed before
all this beauty? "- thought DIOD. And
recalled the decision of the optimization problem
O chunks on the screen. Writing this
Procedure (he decided to write it again) coder planned to do 
tonight. And while the invasion was to VASTER'u to the "house". 

  On the morning of the strange "dream" DIOD remembered
vaguely. More precisely, could not remember at all. Feeling
away from the encoder in the morning was still, then
it was gone, and just "sleep" memory is securely locked.


  VASTER lived nearby in the house next door
on the fifth floor, so the road is a long time did not win. Dog 
Fraer unanimously welcomed the encoder and heard in response to 
a friendly bark, and then greeted the people. 

  Went into the room where the corner glowed
Screen Color Monitor "Electronics".
DIOD always wondered how you can work
behind a screen on which the normal brightness of color is very 
dark (white - it's gray), and color high-brightness shine so 
that "Spread." One plus, of course, was:

did not show a very low resolution -
256x192 ... Boss does it all, judging by
everything is not so difficult, and at the moment he looked at 
the magazine with a 64-character print (it's shaped as letters 
when a 4 "dot", and height - 8, although, to be precise, the 
actual width of the letter was a 3-pixel "dot"). 

  - Did you see the first issue of "Izhevsk Sheets"? - Asked 
VASTER. - I have them is riveted and is now propagating.


  - Already released?? Let's look!

  Launched a newspaper.

  - And where is the intro? - DIOD used the newspapers
and journals (electronic and "Spectrum")
have little background in the form of animation
or some "koderskih" effects.

  - Well, you're smart! No, this is only the first
number. People I promised to write a wrapper,
yeah that's not written ... Well, that "Page
Maker "by e-mail sent, Duc, Kulnev
thing!

  - And what a strange font?

  - Che are you up to, you better read it! Yes, and the
Can four-thread for newspapers to blind.

  - Hehe, well, fun, of course! Second
number will be?

  - Most likely yes, lumped material, maybe someone will 
respond and also chegonibud nastuchit! 

  - They say you have a group there? I just recently found out 
about it. Che and how? 

  - Yes, they do not do anything! Muse sometimes
write, draw ...

  - Kulnev. But I am a free encoder! :)

  - Do you like smiley said?

  - Yes? Well, Nina, has turned itself ...

  Talk, read the newspaper. Imperceptibly
stole the evening, and DIOD left the "house"
VASTER'a.

  After working a bit at the computer (five
"Plasma" is already started to write a procedure
O chunks on the screen), DIOD went
"On the side."


  The morning was a white and gray. The sky was shrouded in 
clouds, the snow was falling. DIOD got up, washed, slazit in 
the fridge, and ate. Sat at my "Spectrum" seek error in the 
fifth "plasma". It was found that the plasma behaves as

need, and no mistake there. Coder was surprised (and a little 
later surprised that surprised). Whatever it was, we must 
finally begin the withdrawal of chunks to

screen. Like, recently remembered how her zaoptimizit ... "Or 
do I even start to her?" - thought coder, but "asm'ovom" drive

it was not.

  I understand nothing looked out of the encoder
window, seeing the flickering trees and poles
power. No, it's already too much!

  - The train goes to Chaos Constructions'999!
Your tickets! - Conductor went to the encoder, requiring ... 
Tickets! 

  DIOD, rummaging in his pockets, found a piece of paper with 
the words "ticket CC'999". Taking ticket, the conductor went 
away. 

  - E! Why did you pick up my ticket?? -
DIOD not understand why, but then realized
that, sort of like a ticket should not be selected.

  However, we must take first at competition
place! It is no wonder that so much work put into DeMouy!

  Consciousness seemed clear. DIOD, completely baffled, kerf 
that DeMouy not yet written and even in the Chaos Constructions 
was not going to participate ... Especially because CC'999 been 
almost six months ago ... Turbidity is! 

  - Calm down.

  Coder turned around seeing the some person.

  - Do not worry. The fact that you saw this morning was the 
result of random error. You're a programmer, and also make 
mistakes. You call them "bugs" am I right?


  Coder, confused to the very foundations of the self, was 
forced to admit that, like probably any programmer mistakes. It 
is very difficult to write a big procedure, not allowing the 
slightest shortcomings.


  - I do not understand. What's happening? - DIOD
in fact, nothing could not understand.

  - Due to our error you are in
Sleep, "failed" in your family
genetic memory of the distant past,
to observe on behalf of one of his ancestors capture the city 
Zzazzezh army "enemy." Civilization of bees and ants were 
unable to get along together ... Well, you is not so

important, as I see it. You are miraculously saved, failing to 
separate his consciousness from consciousness ancestor. 
Otherwise there would things have turned more pitiable. 
Nevertheless, you are currently not suitable for ... Hmm ... 
Well, for, say, this kind of travel. Your knowledge

so small that I have to express themselves
as simple as possible.

  - I do not lamer!

  - You infirm to this knowledge, and all that
seen and see, forget it.

  - Contact me at "you"! And in general,
Who are you??

  - Authorized Representative and Assistant
Custodian to ensure stability.

  - Gon, what gon ...

  - You're ... You will not believe what was happening, while 
fully conscious. 

  - If I see before me a haze and
solid glitches!

  - For the errors in the system on behalf of
Store bear izvininiya. Everything has already been corrected.

  - Store with a person ... Well, if that
I saw this morning - the past, then what is it??
There is still glyukavee, I'm going to CC!!!

  - Firstly, in the morning you see all is not
very clear, confusing themselves and the ancestor, the present
and the past. But secondly, you are now in general are not in 
that place which is called reality, and in himself. All going 
on here prior to my arrival, it was your sleep, which is 
directly related to "Reality" is not.


  - All I feel Down Syndrome.

  - You are a rare condition, and watching a dream while being 
conscious. Peculiar bifurcation. Although here "consciousness" 
is "keep" me. Well, enough is enough. It is time remove the 
remaining effects of "glitches". All of you have seen outside 
of a familiar reality to you, forget it. Pleasant dreams ... 


  Coder has once again awakened. Head
seemed a little empty, though it was
just a feeling. DIOD got up, washed, slazit ... not slipped 
into the fridge! 

  Then it's time to be surprised and very
to be angry: the internal volume refrigerator
decreased to a quite "normal" sizes! Internal volume has ceased 
to exceed appearance, but that bad, lost 7 bottles

beer, which kept the encoder at the far
corner of the freezer (somewhere in the vicinity
the next room, looking out of the refrigerator)! It's a shame, 
damn it!
