DemoNews is a weekly publication dedicated to the demo scene. It is
|
|
produced at the Internet FTP site ftp.eng.ufl.edu (aka WASP or HORNET).
|
|
This newsletter focuses on all aspects of demos and demo-making (including
|
|
music, art, and coding).
|
|
|
|
There are currently four active demo-operators at this site:
|
|
|
|
Dan Wright (Pallbearer) - dmw@eng.ufl.edu
|
|
Christopher G. Mann (Snowman) - r3cgm@dax.cc.uakron.edu
|
|
Mike - weis@elf.stuba.sk
|
|
Jason - cavalier@anshar.shadow.net
|
|
|
|
This site is mirrored by the following ftps:
|
|
ftp.uwp.edu
|
|
ftp.luth.se
|
|
ftp.sun.ac.za
|
|
ftp.uni-erlangen.de
|
|
ftp.uni-paderborn.de
|
|
|
|
If you would like to receive a new copy of Demo News every Sunday in your
|
|
mailbox write to dmw@eng.ufl.edu. We delete all bounced mail from this
|
|
service, so if you SHOULD BE getting Demo News and ARE NOT, please re-request
|
|
this newsletter.

SPACE
|
|
|
|
It seems that we are limited to 400 Megs on this ftp site (eng.ufl.edu)
|
|
thus we will now reach max capacity more often until either we
|
|
can get more space (doubtful), someone donates a hard drive, or we move
|
|
the site to another location. Maybe someone out there has an extra SCSI
|
|
1 gig hard drive they could donate. Or maybe someone out there pulls in
|
|
a great deal of dough and would not mind parting with some so this site
|
|
can increase its space for demos/music/whatever. I do not like the idea
|
|
of deleting demos so the ANSI and MUSIC directories will suffer because
|
|
of our limitation. SCSI gig drives go for $700 nowadays in the US. We
|
|
welcome contributions and will tell you where to send them. Till we get
|
|
that hard drive grab all the old files you can cause they will be going
|
|
going gone really soon. Too bad we couldn't collect a 50 cent fee from
|
|
all the ASSEMBLY goers...that would have easily paid for a hard drive and
|
|
no one loses much money.
|
|
|
|
This little newsreader reaches over 340 people now. Quite an improvement
|
|
for less than a year. Typically I get about 10 bounces and will attempt
|
|
to correct the problem. If I can not I typically delete the bounced
|
|
entry so if you do not get this file two weeks after requesting it then
|
|
you are OFF the list and need to "re" subscribe.
|

Anyone go to WOODSTOCK '94 or HOPE this weekend in New York.

GENERAL
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
I am busy.
|
|
|
|
Music Contest ][ takes a lot of my time, so if I can make things more
|
|
efficient in my other duties, it relieves a lot of stress. In pursuit of this
|
|
I am going to ask everyone who uploads music files this week to follow a few
|
|
simple rules:
|
|
1. TYPE "bin" BEFORE YOU UPLOAD.
|
|
2. INCLUDE A .txt FILE WITH YOUR UPLOAD.
|
|
3. DO NOT UPLOAD FILES TO BOTH /incoming AND /incoming/music.
|
|
It makes my job much more difficult if I have to unzip every file uploaded
|
|
for a FILE_ID.DIZ.
|
|
|
|
We ran out of room again on Hornet this week. Apparently, my /music
|
|
directory was eating up 100 megs of the 400 we have been allocated. About
|
|
half of that 100 was from music disks, and so this week a lot of them went
|
|
bye-bye. Don't bitch at me if yours was one of them. We are more than happy
|
|
to accept donated hard drives to increase our online storage (talk to Dan).
|
|
|
|
I really hate to say this, but unless you have something specific that
|
|
you need me to do, please don't write me. I used to pride myself on the
|
|
amount of mail I receive, but if this trend continues, I won't be able to
|
|
respond to mail in a quick and timely manner. The following are valid reasons
|
|
for contacting me:
|
|
1. You have a question about Music Contest ][.
|
|
2. You have an advertisement or something else to go in Demonews.
|
|
3. You accidentally uploaded something ASCII instead of BIN.
|
|
4. You are reporting a problem with Hornet (out of space, denied, etc)
|
|
5. You can help relieve my workload in some way.
|
|
|
|
If I am to pull off MC][ and make it be as professional a contest as I am
|
|
hoping, I can't handle chit-chat mail. This really depresses me. :( I used
|
|
to be able to download songs, and write the author if I liked them. I used to
|
|
be able to write music (which I can't much anymore). I used to be able to get
|
|
on IRC and chat. Now, it is all I can do to get these weekly articles in.
|
|
This will continue until late September, and you can expect short articles
|
|
from me in here until that point.
|
|
|
|
Should you be able to help me in any way (handling the workload), please
|
|
do contact me. Remember, this is only temporary. Once MC][ and the DemoCD
|
|
are finished, I should have time to settle back into my normal routine of
|
|
writing to friends and helping people out.
|
|
|
|
Best of luck in whatever you do, and keep on trakin'

|
|

Check /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/democd for UPDATES and information.
|
|
(i.e. More information, cost, how to get the DEMO/MC][ CD)
|
|
|
|
MUSIC
|
|
|
|
In case you did not understand we do plan on having a Digital Audio portion
|
|
on this DEMO/MUSIC CD we are working on. Most of the TUNES will come from
|
|
the winners in the MC][ contest (/demos/incoming/mc2) but there is STILL
|
|
space for non MC][ enteries. IF you have a tune you think should be
|
|
included on the CD (Digital Audio) then tell us about it and/or submit it.
|
|
There are some tunes out there we would include in a second if they were
|
|
submitted but that has yet to happen. Remember...your favorite song still
|
|
has a chance if WE KNOW about it. (CCCatch, PM...any takers?)
|
|
|
|
ART
|
|
|
|
We could REALLY use some help with ART for the CD. I can send you all the
|
|
specs regarding size/format/etc. You will get many professional copies
|
|
of your ART back if you do contribute. Everything will need to be converted
|
|
to Corel Draw format for color separation--2 or 4 colors. We have upto
|
|
six spaces for design including the 2 color CD design. If you can help
|
|
we need to know ASAP. The art needs to be complete next MONTH.
