Where are they? DEC 22 2002 00:48

[1] : 01. Dec 2002 18:42   

Wow. Nice music collection from ’Multistyle Labs’. I quite enjoyed it.

Scener’s birthday announcer? Oh my, I hope I haven’t entered my BDay into the Database, as I definitely prefer receiving a few wishes from friends who find it worth to remember it to being greeted by everyone only because there’s a reminder somewhere in the web. Must have been quite some work, however.

Wotnau

[3] : 04. Dec 2002 13:10   

Well, I must confess that the whole credit goes to the C64 scene database webmasters (namely Perff). I’m using their own script for birthday displaying and I’m just leeching actual birthday data from CSDB every 6 hours.

CreaMD

[4] : 04. Dec 2002 13:27   

leecher! hehe. Insomnia even better then i have remembered it.

pi

[5] : 04. Dec 2002 14:06   

That’s quite normal, Pi, since the party version had terrible colors due to the projector and it crashed the first time. That’s not exactly what I’d call a good first impression :)

Vip

[6] : 04. Dec 2002 14:48   

hihi, but i guess that it is such a long time ago i have seen it also plays a role. For the colours and stuff. I got really bad eyes, so i probably didn’t recognice back then.

pi

[7] : 04. Dec 2002 17:42   

Hmm. Maybe that demo ’Insomania’ could get a review on C64.sk

Richard

[8] : 04. Dec 2002 17:48   

I’d like to do it but I still have my computers packed (just moved a few days ago)

Tdj

[9] : 04. Dec 2002 18:07   

Tdj,could you set up some AIM, ICQ account, IRC or something so we could discuss stuff over?

CreaMD

[10] : 05. Dec 2002 11:32   

Hey, I’ll review the demo for C64 sk. - Real Soon ;) Later on today, perhaps.

Richard of TND

[11] : 05. Dec 2002 11:46   

Richard, please, don’t. Please. CreaMD, it’s a bit hard but maybe I could start up irc - has to be during the day though as I don’t have internet access at home right now.

Tdj.

[12] : 05. Dec 2002 15:51   

TDJ Just drop me an e-mail when you are/will be online. I can connect anytime if I’m home (usually during work-week days).

CreaMD

[13] : 05. Dec 2002 17:07   

Roman, cool, will do so tomorrow (hopefully)

Tdj

[14] : 05. Dec 2002 21:24   

Okeydokey, added another "how to make Insomnia work" to the news, info courtesy of Steppe with a little prodding from Raven as well. =-)

T.M.R

[15] : 05. Dec 2002 22:11   

For all those who have problems with insomnia crashing in the first loading part (displaying the VIP logo) and allready tried creamd’s method, try the other one aswell!!!

pi

[16] : 05. Dec 2002 23:05   

It’s a kind of magic... maagic maaaagiiiiic.... ;-)))

CreaMD

[17] : 05. Dec 2002 23:10   

Strange lad... =-)

T.M.R

[18] : 05. Dec 2002 23:52   

so when is Insomnia Service Pack 1 being released?

fade

[19] : 06. Dec 2002 08:09   

Someone should crack it and release working version... ;)

Makumba

[20] : 06. Dec 2002 09:42   

Maybe TND can crack it?

Tdj

[21] : 06. Dec 2002 10:22   

Erm. No. DLX could I suppose :)

.

[22] : 06. Dec 2002 14:21

fade

[23] : 06. Dec 2002 16:47   

Datasette digitizer utility in 2002?!?

CreaMD

[24] : 06. Dec 2002 17:35   

Added Sceners’ glow wine killing to the partyscope.

MacGyver

[25] : 06. Dec 2002 17:56   

Why would I want to crack a demo or tool. Pointless. Besides, I’m not a cracker :)

Richard

[26] : 06. Dec 2002 20:21   

[Watches as the joke goes right over Richard’s head, then goes to digitize his datasette... =-]

T.M.R

[27] : 07. Dec 2002 22:27   

......of to check out those REM releases.

Richard

[28] : 09. Dec 2002 10:08   

Added a hyperlink to the news article on... erm, Hyperlink.

T.M.R

Commander/Role

[32] : 11. Dec 2002 08:17   

Fungus joined Creators on the Vic 20 and C64 a few weeks ago. Also, 505 (our Atari musician) has bought a C64, and is planning to start composing C64 music. Something for the beta news perhaps?

Mermaid

[33] : 11. Dec 2002 08:24   

@ Commander: this should have been in the main news I guess ;-)

MacGyver

[34] : 11. Dec 2002 13:03   

why?

fade

[35] : 11. Dec 2002 13:54   

why what?

CreaMD

[36] : 12. Dec 2002 00:53   

what what?

britelite

[37] : 12. Dec 2002 03:03   

whoosh :)

fade

[38] : 12. Dec 2002 12:43   

gasp :)

RicHARD/Civitas

[39] : 12. Dec 2002 18:22   

huh?

pi

[40] : 12. Dec 2002 19:49   

Stop the crap :)
Added Hobbytronic 2003 to the partyscope.

MacGyver

[41] : 14. Dec 2002 00:18   

Updated the link for NanoSIDPlay. There’s also a new version available btw.

MacGyver

[42] : 19. Dec 2002 00:44   

Added a Download-Link to the TRIAD version of Capture 2.

MacGyver

[43] : 20. Dec 2002 22:33   

Added fYaNICA #9 to the partyscope.

MacGyver

[44] : 21. Dec 2002 13:04   

Richard

[45] : 21. Dec 2002 13:24   

What a load of... um, bells? =-)

T.M.R

[46] : 21. Dec 2002 13:55   

Merry Christmast to you too Rich. And merry christmas to everybody around.

CreaMD

[47] : 21. Dec 2002 19:55   

i’ve said it before but just to reiterate - bah humbug. =-)

T.M.R (Scrooge 2)

[48] : 22. Dec 2002 11:36   

Fixed the link on the Hokuto Force piece so it works... =-)

T.M.R

[49] : 23. Dec 2002 11:36   

CommodoreOne for Eur 200? Well, that would be a price! If this is more than a bad joke, I’m gonna go for it. Remembering CMD (RIP), I’d expect Eur 2000. :-) Anyway, this would be THE Christmas News, which could be beaten only if the GB team finalized GB 2.0 for release. Ah yes, and Merry and peaceful Christmas to all of you. I’m moving these days, so no XMas for Uncle Wotnau.

Wotnau

[50] : 24. Dec 2002 11:56   

Added a Download-Link to Sceptre of Bagdhad uncut.

Also, CreaMD improved our Partyscope: It can now handle more than one event on the same date.

Merry Christmas!

MacGyver

You know my opinion about internet compos, they shouldn’t last too long, so I don’t like prolongation of Devotion compo especially when there are parties at the end of the year and Forever 4 comming up in middle of the March 2003 which also allows submission of entries over net. IMO it’s much more interesting when one’s entry is played before the audience rather than sent to Internet compo, especially when the audience consists of 8bit sceners of all 3 major 8 bit plattforms (Speccy, Atari and C64).

CreaMD

[52] : 29. Dec 2002 18:38   

Altered the Devotion piece so that the URL and email address were links...

T.M.R

[53] : 29. Dec 2002 19:30   

Thanx. ;-)

Roman

[54] : 30. Dec 2002 10:06   

CreaMD, I think you’re right, so you should all come to Floppy in February and release your warez there.

puterman

[55] : 30. Dec 2002 19:49   

Maybe I should prepare a thing or two for Floppy 2003, if any Civitas members are going to the party? :D

RicHARD

[56] : 30. Dec 2002 23:11   

Puterman. Sorry I’m a blind patriot sometimes. But yeah I will push Floppy 2003 on c64.sk All my respect to organisers! Great party.

CreaMD

[57] : 30. Dec 2002 23:51   

Added Floppy 2003 to the partyscope.

CreaMD

[58] : 31. Dec 2002 19:23   

Just popped in to wish you all a Happy New Year. ...and may 2003 be a better year for the scene :)
