      Interview with Random'om

MindW0rk: What's your opinion on how passed
Festival this year? What changes
occurred compared with the previous CC?

Random: The festival this year was held on
order of magnitude better than any previous party.
The reasons for this positive result
should be sought in the organization of the festival - the team 
attended a sufficient number of talented people with whom have 
solved all the emerging problems.


MindW0rk: How much money worth it to spend all this matter? 
Were there any sponsors? I hear you've put a lot of their 
money. Comment, please.


Random: The total cost of the festival
this year amounted to about 5-6 thousand
dollars. Sponsors attended and helped us as they could. I want 
to note such the firm as a "verifier" who provided

required number of computers and networking equipment, "In 
Focus" which provided proektor at a very affordable price, 
"Leningrad Palace of Youth", whose administration reacted 
adequately to the our requirements, and many other groups, 
without which the party would not take place on proper level. 
Let me remind you that the whole financial basis of the 
festival was covered by organizers. Many of us have contributed 
funds in order to get it and dedicate yourself from this group, 
I do not think correct.


MindW0rk: unlikely event of this level takes place without 
incident. What troubles were in the process of organizing and 
conducting CC04? As a whole behaved people?


Random: Naturally conduct has not done
without various sensitive situations. For example, the day 
before, the firm which promised to provide a projector for our

Events denied to us for assistance. Literally a half hour the 
organizers had to assemble the collateral value of the new 
projector and the issue was resolved. Nevertheless, serious 
problems were not all issues are addressed quickly enough. 
Customers behaved very honorably. Otherwise they It was 
impossible to behave:) 

MindW0rk: I heard on the passage of confiscated alcohol? :) 
People trying to pass on nychku, or in the open? How then

seize:)

Random: One of the rules for visitors
a categorical ban on Carrying alcohol in the hall. As usually 
happens with us, not all were able to read the necessary 
information and were stopped at the entrance to our protection. 
Fortunately, the guards were quiet people and simply 
confiscated the contraband at the entrance without an 
accompanying massacre. I do not know the full statistics for 
Bringing a, but do remember the plastic polutorolitrovuyu 
bottle of spirits and two bottles vodka, which had been seized. 
Then it all was withdrawn cleaners Youth Palace.


MindW0rk: How do you rate the works exhibited at the party? 
What things in particular remember?


Random: On the party was surprisingly a lot of
very worthy work. It was very nice
to see new teams, who rushed to the scene without any problems. 
Like to point group Crolyx Team and Den / bemz.

These people simply amazing work. Of the 8 bit command liked
work in the demo compo, especially Nature Rules
and Traumwerk.

MindW0rk: Tell me about the story of the square (made by 
cordex)? This feature planned or impromptu? We are all his so- 
waiting on the second day, why not show it? 

Random: 512 byte intro for Spectrum made Konex of the Antares 
group demonstrated in the grid corresponding to the 
competition. Since the 512-byte hard paste a lot of diversity, 
mostly works have been seen for 30-40 seconds each, rather than 
stated in rules 1 minute. From Three of the works, only Konex 
found necessary to contact the organizers with

to fully display their work. That
was done. In fact, all 512 bytes
intro should end after a minute
display. Unfortunately, this intro was not interrupted. We 
could not devote all remainder of the festival on one job,

Nevertheless, connect a computer with her to
projector from time to time. On the second day
It was shown at rewarding:)

MindW0rk: Tell us a couple of funny / interesting things that 
occurred in CC04 and witnesses who you were. The people can

organized or mixed drink compo
drive and the projector brought a piece of porn. Something like 
that? 

Random: It was amusing to many, for example,
night with the first day of the second, a group of organizers 
was sitting in the front row and talked about solving some 
problems. Time was later, people began to doze off at dusk and

here is one of the organizers of a sudden loud
asks: "Who wants to have sex ?":)))))
It turned out people talking about debugging the program to 
count the votes yet all woke up and went away from him.

Another curious aspect was the challenge I have security guards 
at the door. After a brief conversation about the situation, 
one of them offered me a sip of mineral water. Thirsty, so I 
carefully took a sip ... In the bottle was alcohol ... Many 
were funny moments, unfortunately listing of all of

They take too much space:)

MindW0rk: Do you plan to CC'2005? Is there
any plans / ideas for it already
now?

Random: Plans to make the SS for next year
Of course there is. It all depends on the core team of 
organizers, as will over time and finances. The idea of one - 
to improve the quality organization and again raised the bar. 
In this times the scale of the activities we did,

the following year party is likely to be
held there in the LDM. We believe that
reserve capacity is not fully consumed, the changes will affect 
only the optimization of competitions and reception / display 
work counting and rewarding. Want

thank all participants and visitors to the festival this year. 
We hope that will be presented even more successful

works and new teams. All the best and
good luck.
