GENERAL STUFF
|
||
|
|
*************
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lots of ANSI stuff was uploaded this past week. Of course, now that the
|
||
|
|
ANSI directory takes up 100 MEGS of space on this site we are probably
|
||
|
|
going to have to sixth (delete) some of the old stuff. I will try to
|
||
|
|
make provisions with some/all of the mirrored sites to see if they
|
||
|
|
would be willing to keep the older stuff before I delete anything. But
|
||
|
|
be warned that the deleting may start soon as we only have 25 Megs of
|
||
|
|
free space currently. Maybe someone out there could DONATE a GIG hard
|
||
|
|
drive for this site and this would not have to happen. Hey, they cost
|
||
|
|
less than a grand now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GUS & SB16:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I recently got a SB16 w/ SCSI for my computer and have been trying to
|
||
|
|
configure it for the best results. So far the best I have come up with is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SB16 IRQ 7, I/O 220, DMA 1, DMA 5 | MIDI I/O 300 | SCSI I/O 340, IRQ 10
|
||
|
|
GUS IRQ 11, I/O 260, DMA 7, DMA 7 | MIDI I/O 330
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Problems: Goldplay seems to hate the SB16 on 240 (demos like JUMP, JUNGLY
|
||
|
|
KITCHEN failed on port 240). But maybe it could be a result of the SCSI I/O.
|
||
|
|
PLUS, most demos like I/O 220, IRQ 7 as if it were the standard.
|
||
|
|
Some GUS demos aren't coded well enough to detect I/O 260 (all work on 220).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Does anyone have these two sound cards working together with few problems?
|
||
|
|
If so, please let me know -- dmw@eng.ufl.edu -- what setup you have.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SERIOUS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2krad4u as most you know is a pretty lame demo--CGA/PC--but it does deliver
|
||
|
|
a pretty good message. Are most demo coders too serious? Well, this guy
|
||
|
|
believes so and I tend to agree with him. Wheres TWILIGHT ZONE and those
|
||
|
|
funny demos to break the ice every now and then...ahhh, lighten up.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION (all information taken from CC1 Rules):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Composers Competition 1 was a competition for computer musi-
|
||
|
|
cians to enter their tunes and have them judged. The contest was
|
||
|
|
announced around February 14th of 1994.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Composers Competition was produced by:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mike Phillips (digoxy@metronet.com) - Digital Oxygene BBS (WHQ)

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
||
|
|
Rule #9:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"All entries must be on one of the official drop off sites
|
||
|
|
before May 15th, 1994. Any entries received after this date
|
||
|
|
will not be considered"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(NOTE)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before I continue, I think it only fair to advise you of my
|
||
|
|
own personal experience with Composers Competition. I hosted
|
||
|
|
Music Contest 1 in late 1993 and Mike Phillips was my right hand
|
||
|
|
man. He secretly planned Composers Competition in early 1994, and
|
||
|
|
put me in a very difficult decision. I could either join him and
|
||
|
|
help with CC1, or I could continue with my Music Contest ][. For
|
||
|
|
better or for worse, I decided to go ahead with MC][.
|
||
|
|
Because I was upset with Mike for doing Composer Competition,
|
||
|
|
shortly before CC1 was announced, I released a lengthy text file
|
||
|
|
to the general public stating how I felt about the situation. I
|
||
|
|
now regret some of the words I used, but the sentiment still
|
||
|
|
remains.
|
||
|
|
I am in NO WAY connected with Composer Competition. I was
|
||
|
|
opposed to it from the start. I write this article only as a
|
||
|
|
service to the demo community. Another motivation for my writing
|
||
|
|
this article is that it has grown tiresome to have to keep
|
||
|
|
answering letters about Mike's contest. I will do my best to
|
||
|
|
remain neutral in this issue and just present the FACTS.
|
||

MAIN ARTICLE:

|

|
|
--PROBLEMS--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. By the time you read this article, Composers Competition will
|
||
|
|
have been over just shy of 2 months; and 2 months is an
|
||
|
|
unacceptably long period of time to process the voting.
|
||
|
|
2. The World Headquarters for CC1 has closed its doors forever on
|
||
|
|
June 16th, 1994. Digital Oxygene BBS has shut down perman-
|
||
|
|
ently.
|
||
|
|
3. Until the results for CC1 are in, there is a little question
|
||
|
|
as to who has the GUS that was offered as 1st prize.
|
||
|
|
Further, I wonder if Mike can be held LEGALLY ACCOUNTABLE
|
||
|
|
for keeping the GUS since he copyrighted the contest...

Interview with Mike Phillips:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On Sunday July 3rd, I called Mike Phillips to get to the heart
|
||
|
|
of this story. The conversation is loosely paraphrased below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SM: Hello this is Snowman, is Mike Phillips there?
|
||
|
|
MP: Yes, this is Mike Phillips. What can I do for you?
|
||
|
|
SM: I am calling to inquire as to when we can expect the results
|
||
|
|
of Composers Competition to be in.
|
||
|
|
MP: Well, we're still waiting on a couple of voting forms.
|
||
|
|
SM: May I ask which groups havn't turned them in yet?
|
||
|
|
MP: Renaissance and Future Crew.
|
||
|
|
SM: So you mean Skaven, Purple Motion, Ryan Cramer, and C.C.Catch?
|
||
|
|
MP: That would be correct.
|
||
|
|
SM: And when are they supposed to have the forms to you?
|
||
|
|
MP: Well, we were trying to get them by the end of this week.
|
||
|
|
SM: Thank you. Goodbye.
|
||
|
|
MP: Goodbye.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, it did note occur to me until later that Ryan Cramer was
|
||
|
|
not one of the judges for CC1, but I figure that both Mike and I
|
||
|
|
forgot that fact while we were talking. However, I still called
|
||
|
|
Ryan to discuss the situation. Ryan did not have much more to add.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then I called C.C.Catch, but he wasn't home and I have not
|
||
|
|
called back...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mike's Mail:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It occured to me that I might check out and see when Mike
|
||
|
|
Phillips was last on Internet. I did what is called a "finger"
|
||
|
|
which tells you when someone was last logged on. The response is
|
||
|
|
below:
|
||
|
|

^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then I thought I would do a "date" just show you when I was
|
||
|
|
online:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Snowman] : > date
|
||
|
|
Tue Jul 5 23:25:13 EDT 1994
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, I am not a mathematician, but it seems to me that Mike
|
||
|
|
has not checked for mail in over 2.5 months. Since the last time
|
||
|
|
he checked his mail was 3 weeks before the end of the contest, we
|
||
|
|
can deduce that he does NOT collect voting forms through Internet.
|
||
|
|
If we put this together with the fact that his BBS went down,
|
||
|
|
we must wonder how he gets mail (including voting forms) at all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why did Digital Oxygene BBS Close?:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have been told by a reliable source that Mike Phillips
|
||
|
|
closed Digital Oxygene in order to spend more time with his family.
|
||
|
|
Also, through talking to him, it appears that he is very busy with
|
||
|
|
his job, and has other obligations attend to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Much of the hardware from the now-defunct Digital Oxygene has
|
||
|
|
been relocated to Music Connection BBS (also in Texas). This is a
|
||
|
|
pity, for it seemed that the old rivalry between Music Connection
|
||
|
|
BBS and Digital Oxygene BBS caused the sysops of each board to work
|
||
|
|
much harder at providing a better system for the user. I have con-
|
||
|
|
fidence that Rob Butler (sysop of Music Connection) will not rest
|
||
|
|
too long on his laurels, but will continue to provide a wonderful
|
||
|
|
service to the demo community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--SUMMARY--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have been presented with a lot of information regarding
|
||
|
|
Composers Competition(c). If you are one of the many persons who
|
||
|
|
contributed a song to the competition, you may be feeling a bit
|
||
|
|
upset right now. I can not tell you that the results will never
|
||
|
|
come out. I CAN tell you that it would be reasonable to assume
|
||
|
|
they probably won't. However, I could be mistaken and they might
|
||
|
|
appear tomorrow. (I'm trying to cover my ass so you can't tell
|
||
|
|
me I'm wrong :)
|
||
|
|
When a contest is poorly organized, things like this will
|
||
|
|
happen.
|
||
|
|
In the mean time, I would all like you to download MY entry
|
||
|
|
into Composers Competition. Yes, its a little late, but just go
|
||
|
|
download it (/pub/msdos/demos/incoming/_1dand.zip).

Some upcoming issues already in the works:

"TASTE OF AMIGA" - Some new Amiga songs that make 4 channel
|
||
|
|
MODs look good again.
|
||
|

|
||

back to Karsten Obarski and the original
|
||
|
|
StarTracker.
|
||
|

Well folks, last week we had some pretty serious LIGHTNING and my PHONE
|
||
|
|
and MODEM got caught in the crossfire (i.e. they both broke). The sad
|
||
|
|
part is the computer was off and the phone uses batteries. I guess it
|
||
|
|
goes to show ya that the $40 surge supressor is shit without a phone
|
||
|
|
line protector. Previous to this experience I have only lost two computers
|
||
|
|
to LIGHTNING but hey, this is FLORIDA and that is expected. The moral
|
||
|
|
of the story is INVEST the $30 - $100 in a GOOD surge protector that works
|
||
|
|
with the POWER and the TELEPHONE. I always thought a modem could'nt be
|
||
|
|
destroyed via the telephone line and if it could it would not happen to me.
|
||
|
|
Well, now I have PROOF and seeing IS believing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Regarding the CD ROM that will contain DEMOS and digital audio from MC][ I
|
||
|
|
would like to know what people think about having all the files using
|
||
|
|
the same compression. i.e. would you care if some files used .LZH while
|
||
|
|
others used .ZIP or do you think it would be better to have ALL the files
|
||
|
|
in ONE format--namely ZIP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are still looking for ART to be included ON or in with the CD ROM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Woops, some files did not have READ access on this site due to a recent
|
||
|
|
"chown" command by the sysadm. I believe I corrected the problem in all
|
||
|
|
the directorys with the exception of the MUSIC directory. chown - R 644 */*.*
|
||
|
|
did the trick...at least one level deep.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hey, can anyone out there get me some chewing gum called "BLACKJACK." I
|
||
|
|
am interested in trying something different as all I ever see around here
|
||
|
|
is the BIG name brands. I heard the name of the gum in an excellent MOVIE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SHOWS & STUFF:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SIGGRAPH (ftp siggraph.org for more info) is happening the week of the
|
||
|
|
Morrison v. Williams fight (I had to throw that in there). Oh, that is
|
||
|
|
the 24th through 29th of July in case you didn't know. This is a BIG
|
||
|
|
graphics convention with companies like PIXAR (cool animation movies) and
|
||
|
|
others showing off VR and graphics. Location is ORLANDO which is 3.5 hours
|
||
|
|
north of where I live. Is anyone out there going? Can anyone out there
|
||
|
|
get reduced ticket prices for me or anyone else into the demo scene?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WOODSTOCK '94: Happening August 13 & 14 somewhere in NEW YORK with about
|
||
|
|
20+ bands--some cool groups too. Anyone going to this show? This may be
|
||
|
|
worth the plane trip.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INFO@HOPE.NET: OF course if you go to WOODSTOCK then you will
|
||
|
|
miss HOPE--The first US Hacker Congress--which is happening in New York
|
||
|
|
City on the 13th and 14th also. Bad timing guys. HOPE (Hackers On
|
||
|
|
Planet Earth) makes a great location for a DEMO party. Maybe it can
|
||
|
|
be arranged--Anyone, Anyone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DEAD AT 21 or whatever. The NEW MTV show appears Wed nights and Sat
|
||
|
|
mornings (10pm, 10:30am). I highly recommend it on the MUSIC alone--
|
||
|
|
tons of excellent music (depending on your taste though). The concept
|
||
|
|
is also pretty hip. So Check it OUT.
|
||

This newsletter reaches many people. IF YOU have anything you want to
|
||
|
|
say feel free to drop me a line. We are especially interested in upcoming
|
||
|
|
releases and demo group info.
