June 16. ZX-Pointovka.
Summer. Heat. Why not get together
spektrumists who are sitting at this time in
city? Take a break from the computers,
hang out, just have fun? And I was online
a call has been issued: spektrumists! Current and
exes! Let's go! Together! Moreover, they were notified
there were all: through ZX-Net, and through FIDO, and
even through Internet forums. There was swearing
about this: "What for do I need in my Siberia
do you know that you have a point in St. Petersburg? What
well, now I have to give up everything, break down and
to come to you in St. Petersburg? "Why not?
Come, we will be glad to see you!” True,
It should be noted that from non-Petersburg residents to
no one ever arrived.
June 16.Metro "Ozerki". From the escalator
comes out Ivan Bobov (Push). "Oh! Vega! What
what are you doing here? - "So we have points-
ka!" - "Oh, and I came to an agreement with the man
meet...".Tell me: there are such
coincidences? I think not. Nothing happened
walks randomly. At least IBobova
I have not seen it anywhere over the past 5 years. "Oc-
come with us!" - "No, the computer is familiar -
you need to configure it..." - "Well, it should be like this
need". And Bobov left. And we, everyone else,
who gathered, went to Ozerki, fortunately the weather
Yes, wonderful: sun, heat, nothing in the sky
clouds...

Company assembled,guitar, beer, girls
:) What else do you need for happiness? Still
Spectrum is a wonderful thing, once combined
takes people away! "Let's swim! No? Why-
mu? Is the water cold? No, it seems hot..."
Or maybe I just drank a lot of beer, that's why
was it that hot? No! And in vain no one ku-
he didn’t bother to fight except me. It was very good
rovo!
Chaos decided to pretend to be an airplane
:) There was just a Tarzan tower next to us
ka, where people jumped from tied to
legs with a rope. ProbablyChaos I've seen enough
:) NearPantherwith a girl,Dynkwith a girl
whoa... Each, as they say, with his own
preferences :) Kolotukhin with a bottle of pi-
va in hands, Kurnosov - withguitar, but
what is in the hands of "virtual point" - for-
disgusting, couldn’t see it even at maximum
increase. Probably something is also viral
tual :) But I'm not here, so
you won't know anything about me :) Okay - y
I have a camera in my hands...
Is football cool? Without a doubt! And the ball
I was nearby. Overall great
football is out. Only I didn't play. And how
did I miss it? But to everyone who played, remember -
moose :) Yes, that’s right - hobbies
must be different. Here's beer, for example :)
It became more and more. Good
Well, there was a beer stall next to us.
What would we do without him?
Towards evening. There's no one around anymore
and we are still having fun! Apparently, everything has been decided
play "horns". We ended up with horns
Dynk and Panther - yes, even with two, on your own
made :) In addition,Dynk - with a guitar.
By the way, he plays super cool. What is he
at that moment he was playing and singing - I don’t remember, maybe
Well, I didn’t sing anything. It’s just unclear
Why was the girl so embarrassed? :)
The sun is shining very brightly, the day is passing
unnoticed. The evening has come. Disperse -
Xia? Oh, how reluctant! "People! Let's go to
home for me!".The proposal was met with
with great enthusiasm. And so we all gr-
we take the tram and go...
June 16. Pointing. Part II.
At my place. Everyone and girls :) And on the left -
computers. This is not the end, this is just the beginning
lo! The bottle has not yet been opened.The girl is sitting
at the computer and masters super complex software
Frame Paint. Sitting nearby is the highly experienced Bo-
Lotnikov and helps her :) Slava Kalinin and
Ivan Kurnosovthey are already coding something on the Spectrum
meh. I'm probably not here as always, again with
camera. Apparently this is my fate
:) But it’s okay, later I’ll definitely show up
I love...
Meanwhile the celebration continued
in its own way. There are a lot of topics to talk about,
time too... I hung on my balcony
overcoat. People decided to try it on :) So
whatyou can see "militarized"
sysop Speakr BBS in the form. Typically anar-
Hist look, as befits a sysop. Nearby
on the Spectrum you can see picture
Slavka Kalinina (akaNewart, person,
took first place at demoparty
Paradigmus this year). While it lasted
festivities and fun, those who wish could familiarize themselves with
admires all the works of this wonderful
new artist...
And here comes Pantherin person.
Looks like a typical sailor before sailing
niem :) This is probably his calling. Right
yes, there was no ship nearby. Yes
that, having sighed from this fact, we went further -
Let's drink vodka. Unfortunately, not everything lasted
pressed until the end. Around midnight some of the people
dey broke (Avatar, Chaos, Newart, Kur-
nosov) and went home. And since time
indeed it was about midnight, then on
Naturally, they are metrowe were late. I had to
catch a car, go to the city center and...
some even at night for about an hour
rush to your home. Such an ending for non-
which of course were clouded by their impressions of
fun. But here's the moral: have fun
to the fullest and to the end, otherwise they will
big bummer :)
Here everything is still in full force, no one
where I didn’t go. Pay attention to the car-
teen outside the window: it’s already evening, it’s dark outside.
Slightly reddened faces - this is not the result
tat of my experiments in Adobe Photoshop.
Everyone is having fun, everyone is having fun, everyone is noticing
Really! Especially the girls among us. Or
us among the girls?
It's getting closer to night.The most stable ones remain
cues. Kirill Frolov puts
I need Linux (it's very easy to install: Ki-
it took Rill just one night to
put it there). In the foreground - DNK with
girlfriend. Behind him, on the bed - Panther in
hug with... who? Don't know. However
a cool ending to a fun day.
At night, when I was already asleep, DNK took
Panther home onyour car. What's his name
managed to get behind the wheel... :) However,
no, he won’t be able to sleep in the morning anyway
moose: I found a pioneer in my apartment
bugle and began to play "pioneer dawn".
I'm sure everyone woke up in my front door, yeah
and in the next one too. DNK not good with girls
had such a "pioneer"beginning of the day and
ran away - drove away in a car. They were followed by
There were also the remaining spektrumists: Frolov and
Kolotukhin. Everyone came to their senses somewhat
