MilleniuM: a view from the outside
(c) MarchCat/CDS
How it all began (Chapter I: Basic).
Actually, I came across this vote purely by accident, now
I’ll tell you how: this morning, before the institute (as always), I got ready
visit the Internet to download a fresh /mp3/ (connoisseurs will understand),
chat on IRC with the girls and, if there are people on #z80, then with
them. But, as it turned out, I arrived quite early, activity on the channels
was 0; morning - I thought. It was decided to crawl through Spec's ftp. Pumped up
just before I belched and recorded it on floppy disks, I went to take the last one in
exam this session (I passed it, of course, that’s not the joke). Listen further.
After successfully passing the exam, and the ceremonial closing of the session, celebrating
all this with a huge amount of beer (I should note that I’m not a light drinker,
so at the party, please don’t drink too much, otherwise I’ll start bothering people
female; there have already been precedents, and not always ending
safely, but this is a topic for a separate article) on the embankment of the Volga River (our
a traditional place for collecting and washing all institute victories, although this time,
at -20 below zero, it looked akin to conquering the Arctic / maybe Antarctic -
not the point / Papanin), it was decided to move back to the Internet, especially since there was
I have a clogged arrow there (in the days of my youth it was called
date, but today's youth adhere to similar terms, soyou have to keep up with the times so as not to seem too
old 8-) ) with one very cool girl, but, as always
happens in similar situations - we got screwed, the Internet was closed, without
no explanation for that... The mood turned out to be spoiled, and it seemed
Nothing could fix him (please don’t include any hints about alcohol)...
However, upon arriving home, having eaten a fair amount,
and after listening to plenty of fresh music /mp3/, it was decided to dig around
in Spec's programs in order to please your mind with a pleasant reading of computer
press. I unpack the first archive and get to MILLENIUM... And then, further
everything is like everyone else: I watched, listened and voted :) That’s how the story of my
getting to know this PARTY...
Personal impressions (Chapter II: Final).
And now a personal comment on the works I viewed: Overall - not bad, but
expected more (disappointed with the quality of work from the nominations - NO COPY),
however, given the scale of the party and the limitations of its holding (Internet only),
nevertheless, we can say that it was a success, and its annual holding will become
tradition (let this be on the conscience of the organizers). And we, simple users,
We promise to welcome such undertakings in every possible way and not to abandon this undertaking
without our warm and undivided attention. Particularly pleased: from music - Best
Remix, Madonna: Frozen, WRemix, from graphics - Take My Soul and The Rage ToOvercome.
It’s a pity that the authors were unknown, I would like to personally thank each of them
them for the pleasure they received from their work, as well as the organizers of the party, for their
public exposure to the public eye.
Afterword (Chapter III: Enjoy the silence).
As one would expect, on the 2nd day the Internet was again under repair, already after
technical reasons, which was modestly reported on a piece of paper kindly pinned
administration on the door to the hall, well, at least they warned me, I noted, not without gloating.
The people roared indignantly, but as always in our country there was a murmur of indignation and indignation
Only the picketers themselves heard it, and it occurred to them that while they were still mocking them in this way,
people, there can be no talk of building a democratic state...
It’s dragging along again tomorrow, I didn’t really want to, given the further decline
temperature, but the “withdrawal” made itself felt, the body could not cope, it was necessary
get another dose of the virtual drug, this time double...
