под названием Hackers Top
(также именуемое Hacker
Stop) представляет собой
ежегодное собрание спект-
pymuctob Беларуси с це-
лью... ну как всегда, вод-
get drunk and chat
with your own kind :)
This tradition began in
1997 and continues to this day,
although the composition of the participants changes - also
people gather who have not had for a long time
relationship with Spectrum, but very loving
celebrate all kinds of events - so
called "hot Belarusian guys" and
other cheerful people. But one way or another,
further there will be a short story o
how this event took place at
sunset of the millennium.
So December 23 at the bus station
"Eastern", where FENOMENs arrived,
people were slowly gathering, mostly
these were members of 017 ZXNet. With a little
late (as usual, only by
half an hour :) Sturm and Freeman appeared, and
they said that DJ MONK's apartment, on
which was planned to hold the main
partevents, will only be released by
19:00, so we have about two
hours of waiting. Total number of people present
counted 13 people.
Throughout the entire waiting time
Sturm constantly went to call the MONK and
all the time to no avail. On the eyes
Freeman came across a reference and he quickly
attacked her with questions like "There is vodka
?", but she was proudly silent... After that
he tried to glue the showdown - in view
what he wrote on the emulator
DRUNKARD slowed down on real cars,
Freeman was awarded the well-deserved title
"cool" scener, which is not very good
I was happy. In response to my proposal to allocate
for him to finish writing the real Spectrum he
frowned with disgust and said: "Why
it for me when I have a second stump?!"
:))) After that he began to complain,
what are the best emulators on PC and how?
It's bad to write anything on them :)
Further waiting passed unnoticed -
drank beer, talked, listenedplayer FATAL
SNIPE`a.
Finally the X-hour has come, and all
the company set out and
arrived safely at the store
area of the MONK's home. After a little
half an hour's delay to the store was
messengers were sent, and the rest of the
the street cursed in incomprehensible terms than
and attracted the attention of a certain local
drinkman`a (apparently from "bottle hunters
group" :)). Freeman every time he speaks
"people" added "dot ru", than very
quickly infected everyone present.
Finally the MONK himself appeared and said,
that the house is a bummer, and he urgently needs
leave for work. After some time
negotiations, it was decided that at the hut
You can hang out for an hour.
Then, in small groups, people moved
to this very house. Drinkman got involved too
behind us, but at the entrance it was loaded
questions like "do you know Bill Gates?" and
"do you know what Spectrum is?", from
whom he felt unwell and settled down
relax right on the steps...
MONK's apartment was undergoing renovations, so
there were noticeable seats in his room
less than the number of people present. People
who was sitting where - for example FATAL SNIPE y
Assault on your knees :) To the cheerful Amiga
fashion, the first toast was raised -to
Spectrum, after which the event can be
was considered open. By the way,
there was no chandelier in the room, so everything
the events took place in intimate twilight :)
The appointed hour flew by unnoticed - and we
I had to get out. Before this MONK
I spent a long time figuring out where we would be so that after
work to join in the celebration, and
We agreed to meet on Chizhovsky
reservoir around five o'clock in the morning :)
Then the MONK, taking with him FATAL
SNIPE'a, went to work, and the rest
already a little amused people
moved a little to the sidestops
and hovered near the house. The main reason
braking was to clarify the question "where
go?" The discussion took place very
animatedly with constant shouts like
"Rulez", "Foreva" and others... Then
one of our people noticed that they were coming to us
about ten cops are approaching and
warned everyone. The most sober and
the thoughtful part of those celebrating preferred
quietly move to the nearest
entrance, taking with you a bag with the most
valuable material :) The rest continued
animatedly discuss what sax is and what
there is rulez, and for them the appearance of garbage
was somewhat unexpected. But how
always, Assault distinguished himself, loading the cops
according to the full program, so there was no need
losses. Although - who knows what would have happened,
if we hadn't taken the bag away on time? :)
Then, when the trash was gone, we walked out
shelters and continued the discussion, but so
didn’t come to anything concrete, so
decided to go to that same Chizhovskoe
reservoir, where we agreed
meet with the MONK. On the way to
Sturm stopped to communicate with
cops, and he approached them and intensely
rubbed something for a minuteten, after which
shook hands with one of them and returned. We
breathed a sigh of relief - they thought that he
will negotiate until they pick him up :).
Then we caught a trolleybus and
got to the cherished place where, according to
According to Sturm, it was lost a long time ago
disk with all sources of the second
ZX-ELEMENT`a, because of which everything had to
redo it anew :) So, here we come
to a small peninsula with the aim of
continue drinking alcohol
somewhere around nine o'clock in the evening. AND
despite the fact that it was freezing outside! But
drunk spektrumists don't care about anything, so
it was decided to light a fire :))) Taking into account
that the place was within the boundaries
city, and on both banks of the reservoir
there were residential areas, it was very
a bold decision. Awesome from my own
impudence, we started collecting firewood. Drov
there was little, so I had to climb to
trees and slightly spoil their condition
and appearance, which, however, is not particularly
helped, since the branches were wet (a
what did you think - winter is still on them
there was even snow! :)). Somewhere during
for half an hour there were unsuccessful attempts to ignite
fire, atthe slightest appearance of flame
everyone started jumping together and in unison
chant "rulez! rulez!", but then
the flame went out. It was even expressed
brilliant idea - "Let's drink faster
vodka, otherwise the cops will take us away sober!"
and along the way it was skipped "a couple
drops."
On the shore itself were discovered
thickets of dried grass (as I said :)),
and everyone present was invited
go to "lake tochka ru" and do
replenishment of fuel reserves, which was
done. "Elephant" Assault managed to break through
ice with its weight and get your feet wet, but in
In his condition, this did not upset him much.
After this, attempts to light a fire began
more successful, and the “process” of marking began with
new power. Happy people
jumping near the fire, he was already shouting "Vodka,
Spectrum, TR-DOS - connect!" :))).
The assault very quickly reached condition and
"the earth began to lie around." The rest of the people
tried to keep the fire going by climbing
trees and breaking them :), and of course
not forgetting to skip "in pairs
drops." Most of all, maintaining a fire
ROMA and BLASTER were engaged, for which they were
called "main kactpatukamu" :)
Freeman, as usual, faded quietly -
It’s like he went to take a leak and didn’t come back.
Sturm was also carried somewhere, but he was far away
I couldn’t leave because I often fell :)
Roma and I caught up with him, and despite
resistance, dragged him to the fire and
they put him on a sack so that he wouldn’t go numb
finally. Sturm sat looking like
Associate Professor ("I'll gouge out your eyes, tear your mouth") and
stared from under his brows at everyone around him,
as if he really wanted blinkers
poke and tried to say something
inarticulate, which amused the people.
Others discussed writing problems
music, creating adventures like "ZN" and
othersproblems. Vodka gradually
was ending, the people were good too, and
the time was approaching twelve - in the end we
thought that we wouldn't be there until five in the morning
We'll hold out and decide to leave. And the fire
by this time I was in general
in full swing, we even regretted not taking
potatoes with you :) But who knew that
it will all turn out like this... By the way, the cops are behind
we never arrived.
The fire was extinguished "in nuohepcku" and
We headed towards the stop.
Roma and I tried to lead Sturm,
the rest walked a little behind. I tried
make people move faster
get home in time by public transport
transport, but people didn’t care, so
Roma, Sturm, and I feel strongly about them
came off. Roma went to his home, and I
took Sturm to his lair. Despite
his condition, his autopilot was working
excellent - he himself reached the desired
stop and went straight to the house, and at
stood firmly on my feet :) Then I went
home, and the rest of the people went to
BLASTER, whose home could already accommodate
a considerably thinned-out company. There are hackersthe top continued until the morning...
...And overnight snow piled up - just
creepy :). I even thought how fun it would be
it would have been if we had stayed on the lake until
morning :)
The next morning, the people who celebrated
at BLASTER's, stocked up on vodka and went to
continuation of the banquet to the MONK, where
the rest (mostly non-spectrumists) already
were drinking. There they were shown a big fig, then
there is a door slammed in front of your nose,
preferring local booze. After which
they decided to continue with BLASTER, but he
there was no home, and therefore they were
decided to go home and get some sleep, and
vodka to hide for later. (How
it later turned out to be “later”
it's coming very soon :))
Somewhere after lunch he called me
DEADMAN, and said that they were together with
ZEG/FENOMEN and IGOREM/AST for the second day already
are in Minsk and are hungry for hackerstop :)
Almost allour people slept off after
yesterday, but we decided not to deprive
attention of out-of-town guests andcontinue
holiday. The arrow was hammered at the station. K
ZEG/FENOMEN had already left for our arrival there
to themselves in Chausy, but those who remained were in
excellent mood. While we
the rest of the people were waiting, was noticed
Mast who was very thirsty for someone
call long distance. Then he a little
stood with us, complained about his
hard life - that there is no money to upgrade
pisyuk, - and left, saying: "Here
If it weren’t for work, I would have gotten drunk with you!”
Well, we went to a small cafe under
open air, where we continued
celebrate hackerztop. Here it is
the vodka I had drunk in the morning came in handy :),
although I still have to run to the store a couple more times
I had to.
During the drinking session it was discussed
the position of Spectrum and its fans in
Brest region, as well as further
prospects :) In the process of drinking, come to us
constantly pestered by drinkmansand others
homeless people, but we held onheroically. On
throughout the entire drinking session DEADMAN
reminded Igor to call his wife,
but he constantly made excuses that he would have time
:) DEADMAN got there before everyone else, and
drunken head he began to load everyone, like
he lives well in Pinsk (where he
fell according to distribution), what are there
good girls, and how he got screwed
dorm - they promised to put you in a dorm
medical school, and settled in a river dormitory
port... :) Then he used a thick marker
tried to write a letter to my sister
MIDNIGHT, but he’s bad at it
it worked... At this moment before us
the evil cop got in his way and told him to get out,
threatening to take us away for"drinking
alcoholic drinks in a public place"
but we didn’t pay attention and continued.
A few minutes later he came down again and
started to run into us, and we reluctantly left...
Gradually we moved to
the nearest square and settled on one
from numerous benches. Then when
everyone felt already quite good, we also went
get some beer (with tangerines :)) and let's go
buy train tickets (DEADMAN with
Igor went to Borisov). Subway passedok, no one figured it out :). Near
There was a little joke at the ticket office:
several people were seen with
guitar, and Igor reached one of
them with questions like "Do you know Masta? Do
Snipe's fatality? So what are you like #$% after
this musician? :))) Gradually
departure time was approaching
trains, and MIDNIGHT and I went
imprison DEADMAN and Igor. Along the way we passed
a bunch of cops who are on us
looked suspiciously (especially at
DEADMAN'a, which followed the sine), but
no one bothered us. When we
finally reached the goal, DEADMAN was
loaded onto the seats, and Igor came out
carriage with us in front of
departure of the train. And here we stand
we talk, and we see, as if in the vestibule
a figure of DEADMAN falls out and several
once falls deliciously to the floor, overturning
a bottle of "honey" :) Somehow on my feet
it was installed, but not for long... When
the doors were closing, Igor stuck between
doors your shoe, which is very
jammed well in the door. So the train and
got under way, and Igor’s desperate attempts
there's no way to free your legbrought (to
in the background it was clear that he was being helped
DEADMAN :)). Finally this (protruding leg)
The driver noticed, stopped and opened
doors, freeing her. Then the train
continued moving, and MIDNIGHT and I
let's go home.
Upon arrival in the glorious city of Borisov
DEADMAN and Igor finally ended up in
mentovka, but "this is completely different
history," and let them tell it themselves
its participants. At this event
hackerztop 2000 is over. Everyone
thank you, everyone is free, see you at
hackerztop 2001!
