HOME!

We got home without incident, it was a little dry after yesterday...
All that remains is to have a hangover and draw conclusions... But what the hell? 
conclusions, sleep for 2 days...

 

Thoughts out loud:

1. There were a lot of people, it was interesting to talk, get to know each other, 
and just to get drunk...

2. Finally made it to the capital...

3. I never even imagined such an “organization.”

4. If this event is held next year, 
I will definitely come again (if I’m with someone and if I don’t drink 
grandmas....)

5. As I wrote above, I fully confirmed to myself that the Belarusian 
the Spectrum scene is dead... And for pisishniks, please don’t do much 
delude yourself, there is no PC scene at all...

6. I’m glad I didn’t present my work, a solid one would have been waiting for me 
bummer...

P.S. I would like to thank Mikrukha-Maclay once again for 
provided a roof over your head.

Some nice features:

- Distribution of pens was organized (for filling out vote lists) 
for those who didn't have them. And there were many of them (or this 
there turned out to be a lot of freebie lovers :)). A very thoughtful move.

- The organizers took care of the accommodation of out-of-town guests. In 
during the party they announced this into the microphone and provided a list 
hotels, during hidden parties we negotiated with local 
aborigines (that is, Minsk residents) and themselves took someguests.

- When distributing vote lists on the second day, everyone was taken into account 
distributed sheet

- the person who distributed them (Shaman/Psycho) marked with a bird 
himself with each sheet distributed, apparently so that later he would not suddenly 
There were fakes or extra sheets. Basically this is 
unlikely, but still nice that they thought of it.

- a large sheet of paper for autographs was hung on the front door. 
Also, in my opinion, a reasonable move, because many had great 
desire to leave a memory of yourself. The sheet was very painted 
quickly, and on the second day they drew on the same sheet, but with 
reverse side.

- The vote counting was carried out specially written for 
this program, which greatly increased the processing speed 
vote-lists. Well, there is a big difference between the results, 
announced at the party, and the final results are probably 
can be explained by the fact that not everyone was counted at the party 
sheets, which, however, was stipulated in advance in the rules.

- I really liked the idea of holding the “Miss” competition 
Millennium". Judging by the photographs of the participants, some 
photographed with a hidden camera, that is, without warning.
It was also fun when, when showing the photographs, they announced 
out of habit, “Work No. ..”, although later they got better and 
they said “Girl no...” :)

Now about the unpleasant features:

- There was no division of AY music works into copy/nocopy. How 
As a result, copy works came first. Oh, how 
known in copy andnocopy different evaluation criteria.

- There was no real Spectrum at the party. Some works 
were not registered for the simple reason of unreadability 
with a pussy of three-board floppy disks. Emulators know that disks 
formatted on real Spectrums by TR-DOS command 
"Format" is not readable on the computer. But spektrumists are realists 
they didn’t know about it, and by and large, these problems are theirs 
shouldn't worry.

It’s a pity, because of the organizers we didn’t see at least two 
demos and didn’t hear any music. I can imagine what 
words the authors of these works called organizers :))) By 
In relation to spektrumists this is simply disgusting. Also on 
the emulator was not set to 50 Hz scan, and in 
demo -=AOS=- there was a very noticeable flickering of the screen on 
some effects. On real machines this glitch does not exist. 
-- AY music, like last year, was played through BEST VIEW.

True, this year the organizers decided not to give 
image of the player on the screen, but it was very expensive 
simple - visitors simply approached the car, which 
everything was spinning and looking at the names of the authors of the works. And when you know 
author, then this is already a biased attitude.

- Room. In my opinion, it was chosen very poorly. cramped 
a small disco hall for 100 people. Very 
low ceilings, in the middle there is a large column covering 
review. I liked last year’s version (BSU premises) 
much more.The only advantage of the Tunnel club is that it is more or less 
decent acoustics. - Well, like everywhere else, there is confusion in 
organizer rows when accepting work. There were several works 
simply “lost” (for example, 512b intro on ZX from Fenomen, 
one more picture).

One of the works that I sent at the request of a friend, 
also found itself lost in the wilds of the propeller. The organizers assured 
that everything is ok, but when we decided to make sure of this, it turned out 
that it was missing... I had to undo the organizer screw, and it 
Still found and registered. Moral - always check 
availability of pre-sent works. The same problems were observed 
and on both CCs. And finally, I want to express my gratitude 
for those who have the patience to read all of this. We are waiting for everyone at 
Millennium 1902!
