News for April 2006
Nikolay Amosov (AmoNik) released a newspaper! #0 and #1 are not
spread, but quite interesting. ZX news from St. Petersburg
haven't been published for over five years!
When our plant announced the upcoming certification, from
which cannot be sloped, my roof began to slide a little
(I hope he will arrive soon). Instead of coding I started
playing music, for which I once again turned to Pro
Tracker, for some reason I started reading everyone’s textbooks, no matter what,
languages, tried to understand English, Bulgarian and Czech
texts, and got to the point where I read the diary of Yakov Krotov,
which weighs 14 megabytes! (Mostly this is a collection of clippings
from newspapers, diluted with Krotov’s comments.)
I copied myself a text reading program - and
The oscillograms revealed that the allophones were synthesized.
Accordingly, I tried to synthesize them on YM. It worked!
It even worked in one channel! It sounds clumsy, but you can understand it!
True, it can only be heard on YM; on AY, all the timbres are different.
I remember there was even a text reader program for iS-DOS, but here
- under AY or under beeper? It’s more interesting to me that you can sing like this
write. At the moment there is only one track with speech
(1997, by Dexter).
In general, the certification was quite successful. The order has already been issuedwhere it is indicated that I am an engineer of the 2nd category (I was - without
categories).
On the disk included with the "Hacker" magazine dated 06/03 (87),
the compilers placed, among other things, a certain Hutsker
publication called BHC. It has no shell, no content
complete zero, but for some reason the 6th issue included mine
photo, which is named bhc_newmember_DrZXC.jpg, which follows
understand this: the BHC (Bugger Hukker Crew) group has a new
member whose name is DrZXC and this is his photo.
Of course, in the next - 7th - issue the said DrZXC sent
all the authors of this moronic newspaper, saying that it was not his
photo, it was taken from who knows where, and he, that is, DrZXC, her
I did not send the newspaper to the authors. These are the cases. Author
photos - Shiru Otaku.
Budder and Specter have finally remade their commanders (Wild
Disk Copier and Quick Commander respectively) under #3d13! But for now
won't release.
King of Evil has developed a new Pentagon-1024 board (for AT
body), already filled one copy, setting it up.
KSA-7G somehow managed to write four whole articles very quickly!
It will be in the magazine. KSA-7G also found a description of BASIC on
five sheets of block letters that he once upon a time
compiled for some user :)
On April 23, KSA-7G and I met a person passing by train at the station
Moscow - Samara Jerri/AF. Jerri hasn't even heard of Time Gal :)
John Silver began writing a track under Turbo-Sound(writes as
usually only at my place, but doesn’t write at home). He bought himself
An MP3 player and at the same time, as I understand it, a DVD player. I'm already going to him
I don’t go - after John’s Pentagon was thrown out by his mother to me
I'm not interested in meeting her at all. The story was short:
one day, about this month, she took advantage of the absence
John, I just took and threw away the computer along with the case,
disk drives and Sapphire TV. Apparently along religious lines
she was told that the computer was a diabolical machine (which is important - to
This does not apply to the pussy). There were already traces of such suggestion
spotted about 5 years ago - then she sprinkled the Pentagon with holy water
so that smoke started to appear.
John went to Kazan to take a session and therefore did not finish the track, but I
I wrote my own track under TS and posted it on DiHalt.
P.S.: Later I had to start going to John again. Track
John (remix of Webber) was sent to Karbofos in the summer for
collection. I also sent one of my TS tracks there, written during
featuring Nik-O.
Ldir, who has not been seen or heard from for a long time, is getting married
April 29. He himself did not call or write to me about this.
The information was provided by Chapai, who called to ask me for a suit
(but I didn’t have a decent suit). As we see, this
Ldir, who in his entire life has only managed to make pornographic
newspaper, I don't care. From now on he is not included in Invaders. This
the first exclusion from our group in its entire history.Not even
I remember for what merit he ended up in our group. Apparently for
future, - in those days he, it seems, promised to publish a magazine,
then he continued to feed him with promises: in addition to the magazine, he managed
promise articles about stereographics, intros, the game "Microcars" and
CAT image generator for TR-DOS. If it turns out that exactly
he played Gardner's book for me...
P.S.: Ldir called me once in the summer. He says his Pentagon
still breathing! He also says that he no longer works in the printing house,
in exchange, he got a job as a jeweler.
At work I managed to get a printout of the documentation for
programming Hewlett-Packard printers, that is, in the PCL language
(pumped out from somewhere in the depths of the Internet). The text is somewhat outdated and
poorly translated, but you can use it. There is no method specified
turning on the Russian font, but we found at least two ways
do this on HP printers starting with LaserJet 1200 (more
old models do not have a built-in Russian font - you need it
download or print in graphical mode). The first way is
"esc=27", "(", "8", "R" (we get Windows-1251 encoding),
the second way is to throw one of the files on the printer into the printer.
disk supplied to the printer (we get DOS encoding). Here

Nik-O shared an idea on how to adjust the gliders so that they fit into
note:
DB> I'm from their /indicators/using the glider, I adjusted it so that it fits
DB> to note.
eh, just :)
For me this process goes differently:
I turn on the first speed and down, line by line, I move
command that stops the value of the command "3" :) while in
On the other channel there is a note to which I adjust the glides.
Stefano from Italy promises to come to Moscow. He will be there from 28
April to May 1. I won't be able to meet him because I'm on vacation.
I will start somewhere on May 15th. But I saved up my days off for May
holidays.
P.S.: Stefano actually came and bought ATMky.
Seryogin's keyboard controller failed. What's interesting is
in the store it was not possible to find APS either 555 or 1533 series - he
I took the chip out of my supplies and fixed the defect.
Striker and Zeg have compiled a powerful list of Belarusian spektrumists.
Finally, I'm not the only one doing this :) Also, Newart
significantly advanced his musical archive - many new names.
P.S.: My list of composers now continues to be maintained by Sergey
Bulba, I gave him all the materials.
