Hello all! This little demo is like a - /|\ Thank's for being at the PMP /|\ - card The organisation of PMP like's to thank all the people that were at the party. The weather was nice, the pizza was nice and so.... all the people were nice:) Greets from all the FUN members! For all atari owners, here is the realtime artikle of The Pre Millenium Party: This is a extremely lame machine. Arnel - Thursday 4.00pm Ohmygosh it's an ST Book... rare and somewhat strangely collectable machine. A bit weird to type on, but then aren't all laptops??? Thirsday / 19H00 29/7/1999 Zigo/Exa This is not the begining of the party yet (it starts tomorow). We've been there since yesterday, and we are only about 12. Ppl are cool, and I'm happy to be there. Atari party are the best, without those nasty bloody lamers burning CDs all the party long. Thanks a lot to FUN for organising this, and Happy birsday to Havoc (in fact it was yesterday). The same day - an hour later Zerkman / Trisomic Development / X-Men This party still hasn't really begun, as it actually begins tomorrow, but I already don't regret to have come here ! The orgos are really cool, the pizzas are good, the sun shines and Zigo writes typos, so nothing is missing. By the way, talking about this guy, do you know that Zigo is actually working at Centek, so if you want to beat him you can ;-) Have a nice party ! A few seconds later... Zigo / Exa / X-Men May I remember you the name of the groupe of Zerkman or not ? Do not beat someone that has a broken leg, he could use it as a powerfull wepon... One chalenge : are we going to make one beer logo at this party also ??? Arnel - Thursday 10.15pm By the end of the party, the ducks here will be twice as fat as they are currently, and have a vocabulary that includes "Pizza", "Hawiian" and "no damned anchovies, do you hear me?" mOdmate^CPt - 10:45 Utrecht is really worth a visit. That's all I can say after I visited this town this afternoon. Baggio/Wildfire - 22:55 Ohhhh, they`re using this qute stbook for the realtime article, very nice.I`ve been here since monday, and in some aspects, this country really kicks ass. We had some very nice weeeeeeeed at Earx`s place this monday, very nice place btw. It`s thursday evening now and we`re waiting for the other people to show up, but they should be here sometime tomorrow. I`ve been looking at some code today, but i didn`t code anything since i would have had to do some major debugging first :) Well, back to playing Jaguar games :) Well well, the usual story: Baggar ideling around. (I didn`t write that! :))/Baggio Havoc/FUN - 0:07 The party is well underway by now, although the main part hasn't officially started yet. About 15 people are here now, atmosphere is great. Right now, we've only got one problem, and that is one of the French guys. He's supposed to be driving around Utrecht, then he called us and me and ST Ghost arranged a place to meet. But when we got there, we didn't find anyone! I really hope he will call again soon... Coz there's no way we can find him without an address or a streetname... :((( NUT/FUN - 0:29 For me this is my first party EVER! You Know: like never been to any party ;) and the worst thing there is is to be HEAD of the ORGANISATION while never been to a party... luckily i have Comp7, Havoc and EarX as my aid's, so i'm happy... well, i have to go and get Splash from nowhere... he's lost so we are picking him up... To Be Continued... ;-) TiNKer/TNH - 0:39 Phenomenon/TNH - 0:54 "Nice bracelet!" -"Yeah, got it from my girlfriend." "Your girlfriend?" -"Ah, fuck it. I'm hallucinating again." NUT/FUN - 1:46 Well, Splash is happy to be here, we'll see some of his happy writing soon i gues... he drove arround town for 3(!)hours! well, he's here now, so we are realy happy atm... ;-) (NO DON'T BENDOVER!!! baggio is behind u!! ;-P well, as i was telling you i am fairly new at organising party's in general, and as i have been an sub-active (having intentions to code, but to lazy to REALY work hard on my ASM lessons) member of fun i thought it would prove my intentions to the scene and FUN to try and organise a party... it's comming together rather nicely up to now, but i am concerned we will have to 'pick up' loads of ppl tomorrow... and saturday for the latecommers... we had a little setback at the internet TT, some how there is a bug in Mintnet 1.04 that prevents us from using my cable connection... while it worked like a charm with 1.03 on my other TT. well, we'll just install a debian 2.1 on that TT and pray that that will work. Splash/her...Splash - 2:15 Na, na, nah NUT, I drove about 4 hours and 30 min around utrecht. ZZzzzz... and I get up at 6 AM... and... where is my bed ?! MY BED ! Gimme' my bed ! Gi,me ny ved ... gizzzz mz zz bzzzz rrrr zzzz.... Zerkman - 2:20 I've just reminded that I approximatively slept 5 or 6 hours within the last 72 hours... So I think I can consider myself as tired. I hope this night will be better than the two previous ones, just imagine going to bed with a concrete leg... See you tomorrow ! Baggio/Wildfire - 2:28 Hmm..been having quite a few beers now, along with Havoc, and Grolsch sure is a nice beer. I slept for 3 hours earlier today, so i will probably stay up untill 4-5pm atleast. Sleeping is for lamers anyway (oppps....i`ve slept alot during this party, so i guess i am the megalamerhere :)) Splash 3:00 Gmme mo bdrrrzzzzzzzzzz rzz. D-Force / FUN - 03:25 Well i'm feeling a little bit of tired. I've been up since yesterday o'clock and have had 5 hours of sleep. This party already is great, even when is isn't started yet :) Been busy with some mod's and i could not complete one !! DAMN ;) 505 has tried to help me, but it was no use. I was lame, and according to (s)Tinker ;) , 505 was lamen too.. I'm going to sleep, at last !! Bye for now .. Baggio / Wildfire / 03:55 Still alive and kicking. Been talking about the history of Atari an also about different Atari collectors item with Nut, Havoc and 505 for quite a while now. Dunno if i should sleep soon, but i probably will. Zigo / 5:40 This does not look a coding party, everybody is asleep (exept Comp7, Exil, his girlfriend, Havoc & me)... It's so dame quiet I can't believe it ! Comp7 / 7:17 I'm now the only one awake (on nightshift). But I have to correct Zigo here - the party hasn't actually started yet. :-) Exyl and Manuella have kept me company while I practised my French on the French dubbed version of Toonstruck. Now I'm on my own but will prolly soon wake up another orgo to take over from me, or my whole planning for Friday will be a mess. (The big project: Connect PMP to the internet over a boosted serial cable 300m over medows and fields, leading to Nut's bedroom. :-) Oh, about Toonstruck, yeah it was on a PC (one of the two in this building) but according to Exyl there's already a team working on a Falcon version. :) Basically it's just a bit of sprite stuff and a lot of animations on a CD, should be a piece of cake for the Falcy. Looking forward to it! :-) Zerkman - 7:53 After another night of more or less sleeping, I discovered that there was only ONE guy awake except me (!) : Comp7, which was waiting for another orgo to wake up, in order him tobe able to replace him... What a funny situation :-) Cool, I'll be able to go on coding without being disturbed ... btw, it would be amusing to play some music through the huge amplifier which is just aside from me, even Comp7 thinks that it's a good idea :-) Shall we try ? Comp7 - 8:19 Yeah.. set a timer at 6:00 :-) Well, I woke up Nut but I think he went back to sleep again. Anyone got a bucket of icewater for me? :-) STGHOST 8:47 Yeah...I've just slept for the 1st time since i am here...I've not slept during the 1st night...:) But Baggio makes a lot of noise while sleeping ! ;-) mOdmate 09:28 Going to Amsterdam now... Baggio 11:50 Been awake for like 2 hours now, tried todo some music in protracker, but it failed. I will be doing some chipmusic soon i think :) Nice to see that other people appreciate my snooring sounds while i`m asleep :) (I mean, i do represent sweden on this party, and swedes (esp evil) has a reputation to be snooring very high during sleep, so i thought i would try to "emulate" him, obviously, it was a success :)) Spiny 13:15ish We've just arrived and set up our stuff, only to find that we have no converters for the plug sockets - doh. Quite an eventful journey, we left England at 5:30 PM yesterday and arrived about an hour ago. GND managed to crash the van about 1 mile from the party place, so we were delayed while the recovery services removed us from a large lump of concrete. other than that we are trying to learn and remember everybodys names and get some food in. Baggio - 14:11 Hummm, there qre quite a few people here now, which indeed is nice. The guy from the UK, Jim, was nice enough to bring me a couple of beers, Newcastle brown, really good stuff. I`ve always said that the Uk:ers are a bloody nice people :) Phenomenon/TNH - 14:40 I like horsebackriding, ballet, flowers, and killing people. TiNKer/TNH - 14:53 . Phonyhomonun/Tea'n'AIDS - 14:54 I feel like an illegal exception! BUSERROR. Zerkman - 16:00 I'm just back from a "weed session" with Zigo and that's fuckin' great. I can't imagine that only one country in the world accepts that its people does what it wants... That's great to smoke outdoors without fearing that some stupid cops arrive and piss one off... Holland is great !!! GND. - 16.08 well we finally got here, after a 19 hour journey - and 1 small accident. were all a bit knackered and most of our hardware seems to have died in transit, but we'll try and sort ourselves out for tomorow. NUT/FUN - 16:32 Im glad some 8bit ppl have arrived from germany now, they ended up the closest to the party place, so it was easy to find them :) Jim is a cool dude, who is actualy older then i expected to be ;-) The group Torment has arrived early today and they are cool dudes who brung a pc, and it parrished on the way here... Aaahhhh ;-P it was a non pc party anyway... Hey! here's Richard Karsmakers, i'm off to have a little chat... :) Cronos of ACC (ST NEWS) - 17:04 Haven't writen in one these real-time articles in yonks. Never in my life touched an ST Book, and I'm doing so now. English chatting around me, there's ST chip music...the right atmosphere for a coding party, right? I feel my blood going all weird and bubbly. But I can't stay long, I still have to do stuff in town. Shall visit again tomorrow evening if all goes according to plan. It should be busier then, too. Well ciao for now. MC Laser, Mad Butscher and Creature arrived 18:00 Spiny of Torment 18:30 Yup, it's true, the pc i brought with me has 'expired'. it looks like the boot sector of the main hard drive has popped off somewhere as it just refuses to boot, no matter how hard i ask it. the problem is that i dont think anyone else has a *cough* win95 machine here that i can copy fdisk from and fix my pc, oh well, i still have an ste and an fm to play with. back to work .... NUT/FUN - 18:41 As usual mc, mad and creature arrived and drove aroud like crazy but made it... This party is getting a bit crowded right now ;-) 19.00 After 3 1/2 Hours the Classic-Atari-Team ( Mr. Tokai, Claus, Wizard of.. and Mo`ST ) had to go back to germany :(( Have a good time and stay Atari ! The way to the party was a little piece of hell. Nearly 60 degrees in the car and we were not able to find the way to the the location. Utrecht has a whole bunch of little streets and some nice old people who do not really know where the street is which you are looking for but tell you some way there. But after all we liked the party even so we had such problems to find it. If you are able to read german Texts, read our Fanzine and feel free to send us your opinion. (Bastian Moritz*Tuebbingweg 41*45307 Essen) 19:25: Earx at the keys. Just hiked my falcon and 15" monitor over here from the trainstation. Phew... Well.. Was here wednesday as well. Seems there are a lot more here now. Yesterday I was on #atariscne and spoke with frost. He didn't find the partyplace and went back to France.. And now he is here again. Cool anyway.. SPLASH / 19:50 Splash discovered the fabulous world of Atari XL demos and wonder if he could sleep this night... ASTONISHING ! Even better than latest C64 demos ! Really a great job: plasmas, z-buffered objects with gouraud, ... wow. TiNKer/TNH 20:11 I am thirtsty... pff.. nice weather, nice party:) mOdmate amsterdam was really interesting, big, dirty and all in all not as nice as the city of Utrecht. Baggio 21:16 Just finished the linux installation on nut`s tt, some problems occured, but Zigo helped me out, thanx alot for that :) Time for some pizza now i think.... D-Force 22:00 Well i almost finished the sid, and i'm filming some people. I think i need a shower, i'm beginning to smell myself :) And i'm still sleepy, the Beamer works now and the STfm is also putting a image on the screen. Some great people over here. I just saw a demo on a 800XL and it is amazing !! Just incredible what there doing with it. I can't remeber most of the names over here so many are here already and there should come even more !!! 505 2:99 The ST-Book crashed and all text since 1:30 are lost now. Guilty is the Ossi, of course. Let's hope that someone will teach this stupid red breed how to use a western comuter. Havoc - 3:24 I am tired. I really am. I don't know why. But that's probably because I'm tired. Anyway, my job is finished for today... Now all there is left to do is some retouching on my 16color entry, but I'll grab a beer first. Although I feel too tired to actually do that. &-] TheMatch - 3:55 I'm trying 2 convert samples 4 the PMP env-demo and still I'm trying 2 begin with this project.. this about discribes the motivation I have finishing this small demo:) But no fear!! I'm not doing nothing cause I have been 2 the toilet, smoke some (or more) sigarets, stalling the beginning of the sample convertion. About this party... It's very cool cause It's a good atmosphere. The people that are here realy enjoy being here and having a GOOD time... that's the only thing that counts, I think. Besides... how are we supposed to 2 work without any FUN?! So doing not much at the time is no problem at all. A complement goes 2 NUT because now I finaly can work on a normal querty typeboard instead of a france of german one:) TM/FUN signing off... for now:) Paranoid - 4:26 Wel, half of my copetition picture is doneand i think it's time to take a nap. Marcstar is already asleep in the tent and i think i will join him. Besides MC Laser is getting on everybody's nerves playing the same pattern of his new SidSound-track over and over again and it's needless to say that it sucks ... At least this pattern does.;-) Hope to finish the picture later today although it doesn't look like i would have liked it to look but you can't win 'em all, can you ? And finally, this ST Book is extremely cool. The Paranoid/Paranoia - from the Lunatic Asylum signing off D-Force - 4:30 I think Paranoid is very right i'm also very tired and want to get to get te got et gto get to sleeeeeeeeeppp !) The White Warrior - 3:34 utc Early in the morning, I am like a zombie. To lower the level (time has passed) I opened an 8-bit chat-line. The language-level there was really low, but nice. Sonow it is time to go to bed, becouse the alcohol begins to work now. Houdoe and grtx, Sparks AW.. Earx at the keys.. Tired like hell I tell ya.. my mind is fading. Trying to finish the mod compil, but it is sucky.. Must say the atmosphere is very cool. 100% atari dudes! YEAH! =) DEAM 7:15 Hmmmm, where is everybody? Well, never mind. Frost is sleeping at his falcon 8-) DEAM 9:05 Well, its getting fucky over here there are only 6 people in the party room while there are about 20 at this party:( MC Laser is awake again ooooh I look horrible :-) Mumpf/Vollcool 9:10 While MC "third place" Laser wrote his well known good morning rubish I have to told him the difference beetwen a STBook and a STacy because he thoght that the writes on an STacy. Under which socks did he sleept? TiNKer/TNH - 09:33 The showers do work.... And so do my socks by the way .. :))) Zerkman - 10:11 It's already Saturday today... Only 2 days left, argh ! Good things always happen too fast. I'm just back from the bedroom, and I feel much better than in the others days, so this day should be a very good day to me, and it's great, cause I need concentrating for the Philips stuff I am coding in CDLab... Now the recorder records, but it records bullshit :-/ ButI think this will fixed soon. Paranoid - 10:22 It's hard to believe, but we really survived the night. The place is totally empty, the frenchiesare watching weird movies, Tinker is doing weird music and we're off to pick up some weird breakfast. We all feel weird too and i have to finish my picture as well - which is going to be weird as well ... But hey, we're Paranoia, aren't we supposed to be weird ? And just by the way, MC Laser is typing weird news for UCM that have no connection to reality as well ... ;-) The Paranoid - very hungry - is signing off. Splash / 10:45 Third day in this land with a wonderful sun... sure it is mine from south France I brought with me :) Unfortunately I also bring strange DSP bugs mith me... I wonder if my Falcon did not smoke Canabis in my back... :/ Let's drink a big tea, probably the best debugger on the earth ! mOdmate - 12:21 After sleeping 11 (!) hours, having a shower and shave, I really feel reborn... Btw, this ST BOOK is a cool thing. Baggio - 12:32 Woaaa, i`m alive again. Managed to get 7 hours of sleep tnight, which isn`t that bad. I think i will go finish my breakfast now. the match - 13:10 Good morning vietnam!! Yes I've slept 4 about 7 hours now witch is strange because I didn't expect 2 sleep that long on a concreet floor:) But never the less it's better than no sleep at all... done that, been there, did that shit, liked it and couldn't do it again this time.... 2 f*cking sleepeeee!:) Once again the weather iz great and most of the other people are up allready exept for Mad Butcher... he realy coded the hole night none stop!! Now he told me that he slept allready... FOR 2 MINUTES!:) TM signing off again, Cu Arnel - Saturday 1.55pm Hmmm... Shower, coffee, I feel human again. Sleeping in a tent with no mattress - you soon find out where all the knobbly bits on the ground beneath you are, and adopt a kind of zigzag shape to avoid them as you sleep. The party is great, loads of cool peeps I haven't met before so that's good. The location is tops, weather great, what more could we ask for? P.S. This ST Book is cool. I want one. Tron II finely finished now... Paranoid will spread it I think:) 14:56 mOdmate starting to read the whole realtime-article now... 14:57 nOdmate finished reading the realtime-article but didn't understand all of it ... he he he ... :-))) The Paranoid - 16:36 Hrglmpf ... The deadline is only 1 and a half hour away and some parts of my picture still are only in Spektum-format - contours but no colours. Perhaps i should continue drawing instead of typing ... The Paranoid - 16:38 Why the heck am i still typing ... Baggio -16:40 I`ve been working on a song for the chipcompo for the last 2 hours. So far i`ve started to work on 4 different songs, but right now i`ve decided which one i will try to finish. Hmm, crap, deadline is only 1h 20min away, better continue the composing..... mOdduddel lamerpainter at 17:40 Pizza is ordered, Red Bull doesn't work. The Paranoid - 18:11 Pizza arrived and tastes good, the "preview" of my picture has been given to NUT about 15 minutes ago. I hope i can finish it when Havoc arrives because now, there is no way back and i just don't like presenting previews on parties. Things are a little cooled down now with some Pizza inside and Degas Elite outside. See you around. Baggio - 18:15 The chipsong (it sux!) is sort of finished now, don`t think i will bother working on it more today i think.... Arnel - Saturday 6.20pm Crikey it's hot here... can't think straight... feel sleepy (no change there then)... but people are working regardless and there looks like a few good things being done. P.S. I really, really want an ST Book! NUT says that 7,000 were made, but only 4,000 sold. So where are the other 3,000? Lying in a desert next to the ET carts? Pizza Hut 18:33 Creature XL hat seine ganze Pizza aufeinmal aufgegessen!! Applause Applause Spiny 18:50 Have just realised it's been an hour since i entered my pic for the 16 colour compo. I also managed to persuade Rhino to enter a chip tune, even though he did'nt like it - is this a musician thing? and yes, it's *really* hot here, GND's st and hard drive were close to glowing before he turned them off for a cool down. pass the ice cubes .... Cronos - 21:07 Busier. Hotter. Back again for a bit. Nothing much to say. Going to have a chat with some people, preferably the ones that are outside. I am sure glad the STNICCC 2000 (http://stniccc.atari.org) is going to be in winter :-) mOdmate 22:20 All those people doing some msx and gfx... a) really make me feel sick because I haven't done anything since months and b) kinda motivate me to paint at least one of the ideas which are in my mind. Finally, a) and b) together remind me of my lack of time I have because of my studies and of my lack of motivation I have because of that whole scene-thing in general. 22:30 Earx at the keys once again. Seems like already a few ppl are leaving. Atmosphere is great. Too bad about the Sentry guys we were expecting. A big plus is the arrival of Bonus today. He even coded on men at war again. Very nice stuff, which we all hope will someday be released. Hhhmm. Just had the weirdest dinner. A mix of weed-tea and sake. (shaken, not stirred). And a tuna-olive pizza. Very weird and quite tastsy. NUT/FUN - 22:54 AAAAAAARGH! i've been watching demo's with Cronos and MC Lazer and the last one was that spiral thing... i've seen my hand MORPH! YIKES! ;) it was cool stuff... ;-) Mc'S monitor is giving up so i'll try and fix it tonight :) Cronos - 23:29 There's been some astounding stuff being done on the Falcon and ST for the past few years that I've been out of touch with 'the scene'. It's amazing. I heard some techniques explained, but even their names sound exotic and difficult to me :-) Anyway, of back home again. The action here won't die until, well, somewhere VERY late I guess. Or should I call that 'early'? I'll try to be back later, tomorrow evening. Some of the people here are really cool, there's a French bloke from Sector One, MC Laser is cool, and of course the FUN guys. They are running around looking for a sheet. I don't want to know what for. I surely already learned a lot for next year's STNICCC 2000. Organising one of these events is not easy...I'd almost forgotten that. Ta for now. TiNKer/TNH- 02:44 welteruften, I am going to sleep. Baggio - 02:47 Well, the compos is over now. The quality of the music entries was very good i think, even better than at EIL. Been drinking some beer along with Havoc for a while now, dunno if i`ll sleep soon, probably not, as i am not really tired yet. And i have to leave at 6pm today (sunday), really sux, but i gotta work tomorrow morning. mOdmate. I disagree to Baggio's opinion about the entries' quality, but surely nobody is interested in knowing that. spiny - 03:25 hmm, another beer or go to bed, tricky. the rest of torment (the two Daves) have crashed out, leaving me messing around in neochrome with nothng worthwhile forthcoming, well, maybe i could have beer *in bed* what a concept! NUT - 04:55 At this time all of the germans excluding 505 have passed out, with or without the help of beer or liqor... i don't know, there has been a nice campfire outside and there the last remaining germans where talking with me and some dutch 8bit dude... i already forgot his name AGAIN! had a nice chat tho... as you can see it's early in the morning already, and because the party is taking a lot of time, the internet is STILL not setup... oh well... we're comming allong just fine... I liked the compo of tonight, as it was my first, i must say i think i realy liked everything i heard and saw. A special note goes to the picture from edo, even though it's not a 16color picture, it entered the competition anyway... and i have to say it looked quite nice indeed... but what pictures from edo DON'T? ;-) the tune of baggio was quite nice too, and enjoy'ed the ones from 505 and D-Force. multi channel entry's where REALY nice... All in all i think this party is comming allong just fine :))) atm i'm going to leave some fun members by themselves, together with the dutch 8bit crew ppl, and the ppl from sector1 and Zerkman (who got my philips drive running! - allthough it just writes junk...) and crashland in my bed... it has cooled down REAL god now, so it's time to sleep... :)) well, as i said earlyer: Will be continued... :))) The White Warrior - 3:15 utc The campfire is on stand-by mode (I hope :-)) The last day I was like a zombie. Totally knock out in my tent. At this time of the day I am going to be awake, but with the use of some alcohol I am still in sleeping mode. :-) The demoshow last day was pretty cool. Nothing more to say.? grtx, Sparks. earx - 05:30.. Goto sleep now. Wanna fall into a coma right now! stghost 5:42 well, it's just another short night for me...I really need to sleep ! Only Comp7, Zerkman ad me seem alive at this hour ;-) But I very tired this time and my Falcon needs to cool a bit as it has been turned on for 4 days now... TiNKer/TNH - 09:41 Today is a good day: I turn on pheno's harddrive and it actually works. Joy. Maybe violence does work after al... :) Zerk-YMCA-man - 9:15 I've just spent a very cool night, first discussing with a Dutch guy who's a great 8-bit addict, who's maintaining a 8-bit Atari BBS, and who teached me a lot of things, like that a TCP/IP adapter is being developed for these machines, so it should be possible to connect to the Internet with a 800 XL ! How impressive !!! I spent the rest of the night chatting with Havoc, Arnel and 505, who really are great dudes... And you know what ? I'm going to do like the other lamers in this party, I mean sleeping ! Cu. 09:45 MC LASER awake again! I feel like shit anyway :-) 10:10 mOdmate awake again as well due to Baggio's loud (!) snorring in the sleeping room. 10:15am mOd is right! (EdO is typing and he feels tired).Cool party, cool guyz it is FUN ;) 10:23 - The Paranoid Of course mOdis right. I had the honour to listen to baggio's overtures in snore-minor at EIL'99 alreadz. When will you people learn that sleeping rooms are always crowded by people that snore ? I have learned to avoid sleeping rooms at all costs. After a nice 6 hours sleep in Marcstar's tent i feel relaxed enough to slowly pack our things and leave. We're not going to stay all day because we all have to work tomorrow, but i'm quite sure, the organizers can do the next stage of competitions without us. ;-) And just btw, except for the difficulty of getting here, it's really a nice party. 12:15 MC Laser on the keys... we`re soon going to leave... damn that the compos are this evening.... we`ll surely gonna miss it... well this was a really cool event... It felt like home. NUT - 12:25 ... (just got up) Baggio - 12:33 It really seems that my snooring has been a great sucess, i`ve actually managed to wake a few guys up with it. Some people are leaving now, which is a damn shame. I will be leaving at 6pm today, which means i will miss the rest of the compos. Damn crappy that i have to work tomorrow..:( I hope some FUN member will put the contributions online asap. 12:36 Creature on da keyz - for the first and last time. We R waiting for coffee. After a huge cup of it we will leave. After all, a it was a cool Party. bye folks (Sysop)*TXG - 12:45 I wake up ater a great day of hearing some good 4 channel & multichannel musix. The wodka has done it's job I feel 100% after waking up after my deep... deep... sleep. I will hope that next year there will be more 8-bit visitors so they can compete also with demo's..... C-ya, I gonna take some bacardi cola and party on!! Splash - 12:50 It is realy surprising how this land can affect your mind... Last night, with Exyl/Sector1 and FroST/Loud! we did the mixing of c64 waveform generation and fire effect... we also apply c64 tricks to the Atari ST... and all this WITHOUT any herbal tea or cigarettes ! (well, in fact maybe a tiny tea...). So, I HAVE THE CLUE: in this land, they legalize majijuana because they did not need it ! You are always under its control ! :) Baggio - 15:06 Leaving in less than 3 hours...boooh. Hope i can order a pizza before i leave though, gotta keep my stomach in a good shape :) NUT - 15:15 Well, it's a shame some ppl had to leave today, because they have to work tomorrow, baggio is going to leave soon, and i think it's a damn shame... :( torment have said they will release a demo at pmp, and so does teenage, tinker made the very relaxing mod which is played in the pmp-wannabe-intro which is going to be released as a real article reader now, because it's no use releasing an intro/invitro at the end of a party... ;-) it's going to be quite nice, which you might have noticed when your reading this in our REAL-demo (new type of demo perhaps? ;-) well, going to listen to the revision tinker just made... to be continued ;-D D-Force - 16:30 I found out a new effect on the beamer !! It's cool .. .. Might get it on the Falcon ?? Or for the Wild Compo ?? Whaaaa i didn't have more than 6 hours in 3 days, so i'm getting a bit weird/strange now !!!(i might be born with it ?) Too bad that some people are already leaving :( But anyway it still is a great party. !!! The Stinker is always playing those STUPID GABBER/HARDCORE mod's ;) And i think the crew (when your standing and look to the left) is taking over the place, there expanding enormous. I think that are conding like crazy fools to win the contest!! To repay the damage to their bus ;) Rhino/Torment - 17:40 Yes, we're expanding. Tomorrow - Amsterdam, Tuesday - The World! Bwahahahahaaa....(evil laugher tails off). Baggio - 17:44 Wooaa...have packed all my stuff now, gonna leave from here in 15 minutes or so. I hope the rest of the party will run smoothly and that the compos will be filled with cool stuff. Hope to see the lot of you on the next party. Baggio signing off...Cheers! (Baggio@canit.se) mOdmate some minutes before 6 pm Now we (505. Arnel and me) going to the Chinese food restaurant. Let's hope it isn't as expensive as all the other stuff here in the Netherlads. NUT - 18:35 Compo entries for the wild compo are dropping in like fly's now, the demo compo won't be that full, but we have a certain number of entry's right now that realy is cool... (and i mean the number of entry's ;-) We'll i'm still trying to get that color shifting thing to work in my test program i'm writing in asm, i think i am getting the hang of it, but i'm still far away from releasing first demo, i think i'll enter it as a wild compo filler :-D spiny - 19:10 a mad rush to complete our st demo entry, still a few cosmetic bugs to iron out, but we hope that it will qualify for the competition.. Goof - 19:25 Yep I'm realy in here. Just to let you all know I'm like cinderella in an eternal waitstate 8-) Phenomenon / TNH - 19:37 Our "demo" is finished now. We just tested it with the beamer, and it really "rocks"! I wonder why you left so early, Baggio! Afraid they finally uncover the real YOU? :) Just kidding. Oh yeah, one final thing: Lekker neuken. spiny - 20:10 argg! problems with the module :( ARSE! Rhino - 20:11 My module! Arse! Once again we've managed to steer well clear of any official deadline but apparently everyone else is pretty much behind schedule. So that makes it alright in my book! Time to test it again..... GND. - 20:43 actually got it finished, the first demo weve managed to get out in about 8 years. lets see what happens in the compo.... Cronos - 21:34 Back, just in time for the competitions, the most important thing. Barely made it. Arnel - Sunday 10.50pm First batch of demos done - the wild demos. Pie Bill Gates was a definate winner! (just a shame you couldn't upgrade your weapon from the standard custard pie - a semi-automatic multi-pie launcher would suit me fine!) P.S. Tinker says he hates Y.M.C.A. Probably something to do with the leather. NUT - 22:55 I'm glad the reaction to 'My First Demo' was laughter :))) mOdmate/CPt - 23:31 The H DEMO IV showed what I knew since last year's Quast Party in Poland, when I was alone in the restrooms and that huge Baggar-dude came in. (...) Rhino - 00:46 Monday morning Yay!! We came second in the ST demo compo! (out of two, but who's counting?!). Also came third in the chip music compo for the prize of a fine PMP Atari t-shirt. I shall wear it with pride! The Match - 1:00 It's dark outside... and so is the beamer at the moment. No problem tho... it's rented hehe All the price's are out now and the big party is coming 2 an end saddly.. but hey... this is not the last one.... I hope:) The White Warrior - 11:03 utc I have packed my stuff and I am ready to leave. The Party was really great!!!!!!!!!I hope I will see everybody next year. And remember, ony ATARI 8-BIT is real :-) Thake some beer and Houdoe! C U NXT LIFE grtx Sparks w8er - 01.45 Monday This was my first party so I have nothing to compare it to but have really had a great time. Even though I was the oldest (lamest ?) visitor, I was made welcome on arrival and throughout the party was always made to feel part of what was going on. My Thanx to FUN for inviting me and, although there were a couple of minor problems, I think they did a good job of work !! Congratulations on a fab few days with some really nice guys ! Hope I can make the next one...... Jim mOdmate - 01:48 I also like to congratulate FUN for organizing this great party and I'd like to thank the people involved which made it as it was! And: a warm "Welcome back!" to the guys from TORMENT. Their comeback is a big motivation for all people left in the ST scene and should be some bright example for Atari ST-demolove. I am really looking forward to your next production! And so everybody is doing! D-Force - 02:25 Tomorrow i'm going to take jim and 505 & mOdmate to the CS Utrecht so they don't have to walk, and don't get lost !! ;) I'd like to thank everybody for your vote to me, and it was/is a great party. Next time Thinker and Phenomenon are the guys who will be fooled around with( Har Har Har ). I've got some nice pictures already!! NUT - 02:35 We're having a lot of fun watching older demo's and enjoy'ed WHIP! (especialy the boy's from Torment) we're having a lot of fun at just beeing together, the TXG (8bit) boy's left, and that means 2 soul's less, but still the atmosphere is GREAT! :) i know i'll do a good word for a next party amongst the FUN members, it's going to be named TMP = THE Millenium Party - IF it will happen it'll be somehere at the same time :-) it's great weather and a REAL good location: ppl from town aren't bothered by us at ALL :) earx : 4:00 Man! They're really doing it. Playing Whip-pong by screaming in the mic. Hehe.. crazy! :)) spiny - 04:20 it's true, whip pong rules ... now all i need is a falcon ... TiNker/TNH - 04:31 Damn, my throat is sore now.... earxzz - 5:30: Last ones left... Boy.. I bumped into a table and then Exyl's 520 fell off. Complete casing fucked up and diskdrive screwed. I feel like an utter utter uttter arse. I just hope I can make it up to him.... BTW: Party was fucking great. Zerkman - 5:38 This party reaches its end, and I'm very disappointed not to have been able to make NUT's CD burner work with CDLab. I can actually write, but that's only rubbish, the TOC is not well detected, and no drive can read what is written... The technical documentation of this drive only says "The TOC shall be transferred from the initiator", but doesn' specify anything about the way to encode it !!! Big thanx to those stupid technicians... Anyway, this party is neat, the compos were nice and I really enjoyed chatting with all those people ... I hope that THE Millenium Party will actually happen, in order to see everybody again ! Thanks to NUT, Comp7, Havoc, EarX, D-Force and the eventual other organizers I forgot for having made this possible. Thanks also to everybody I met and discussed with, and allowed me to have a really good time here. 7:00 - the match It's light now... the beamer is oke (ofcourse:) With some help of Earx I've made a oscilator on GFA! Finely it works perfectly:) Now I can have sweet dreams about line jumping and bouncing hehe NUT - 07:05 Going to kick comp7 out of his bed right now, and then dive into my bed at last... the strange thing is, there is a small voice in my head saying 'go to bed... you need it!' but realy, i'm not feeling tired... i might try sleeping on my falcon one day just to experience what FRoST is experiencing... ;-) he slept on his for about 2 nights ;-D Well, Comp7 is awake now... so i'll be taking a dive into my sleeping bag... 8-D earx 7:10 We're aiming for 1000 lines here... Yes we are!! =) Trying to drink as much cheap wine to gather enough strength to go to sleep. Bahh.. >>>ZOMBIFIED<<< Comp7 darn where's me watch.. 7:15 (looking at the giant clock over my head and saying "d'oh!" :-) Hmm I think I accidentally had some real sleep tonight.. the other nights I had no trouble waking up after 2-4 hours of sleep, but now I'm the real zombie here. :-) Yesterday morning I woke up looking at Edith's friendly face who came to have a look what I was up to here) (nice way to wake up) :-), now I was woken up by an orgo and I didn't even remember who it was until I read here it was Nut, and then, barely awake, had to listen to Nut tell in great detail about how his nuts were itching. :-) Well, now I'm waiting for the shower to become free and since we seem to be aiming at a 1000 lines, I better go on a bit more. :) I really enjoyed this party. Looking at the number of people and athmosphere during the whole weekend, I think it was a success. I also enjoyed having yet more first-RL-meets with IRC friends, and also having met a lot of people I didn't know at all before. The fact that this party attracted a lot of people you don't (often?) see on the Atari IRC channels gives me a good feeling about the state of the Atari scene. Ok, line 996.. I'll leave the remaining few to the magic 1000 to someone else.. :-) mOdmate - 07:36 LINE 1000 Too good Tinker's snorring isn't like his music... Comp7 - 08:12 Even better that Pheno's sleeping isn't like his demos.. but maybe his dreams are...;-) mOdmate - leaving in some minutes. Bye from me and: Don't prostitute yourself! Don't do it for the money and the chicks. w8er - 09.30 Bye Utrecht. It was FUN !!!!!!! spiny - 10:10 i am finally up and awake, and have finished packing up my stuff, is'nt it odd the way it never seems to go back into the same amount of boxes thatit came in, i have a couple of diskboxes left that wont't fit anyhere ... hopefully we're not too tired to drive home and also we hope that our van won't fall to bits on the motorway .... thanks to everyone here for a great party and hope to see all of you again at the next one. look out for our final version of the st demo, available soon from dhs or pmp........ gnd. 10:40 bye bye Rhino - 10:41 yup, see you later. Cheers. Phenomenon / TNH - 10:50 Well, it was a damn good porn.. ehm.. party. Got to take me some shower now. Oh yeah. Splash - 13:00 Nice party. Nice people. Nice weather. Bad mood: it's the end :( clr.w -(sp) trap #1 stghost - 13:39 Shit ! It's time to leave :-( I've really enjoyed this party, it was in a cool place with cool people...a real Atari party ! I just hope that I've slept enough to drive home...Anyway, I've no choice, but it's not the first time ;^) MFREE(pmp%) ~GEMDOS(0) NUT - 15:05 Well, it's time for the final words from me... so i'll just say: It was GREAT fun organising a party and having ppl from all around europe here, as i told you b4 i have never been to any party yet, so this was my first time... and i loved it...
