This week! I have been mostly eating... aspirins
! interview !
Session Start: Tue Apr 20 00:04:53 1999
*** tmk has joined demojournal
ps who are you? :
tmk uh, dunno. u should know since u want to interview me.
ps you are tom moyatoshi smtg but please help me!!!
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ppppppppplllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeee
help me
tmk oh alright then. my name in the brave real world is tom
motoyoshi kalland. 1977 edition, makes me about 21 years right
now. nothing much to say otherwise, except that im a student
or so they tell me do some work yeah rite... hahaha, etc.
ps what do you study and where do you work?
tmk on the scene im known among those i know at least as tmk. i
tend to do graphics and such on the scene as well as whining on
irc where i go under the names tmk, toshi, gohan, etc. alot of
crap. stop whining, im trying to chat with other ppl as well as
coding here! :
ps okokokok but answer the question! :
tmk im studying japanese and computer science at the university of
oslo. its my third year now.. not that i really feel i get
anywhere. i work as a programmer beside my studies. its even
more boring. :
where i work? in norway.
ps whats all this with the asian stuff? why do you have a jap
name and all that?
tmk its all a big mystery and all, but ive heard rumours that my
name might have something to do with the fact that im half
japanese having a japanese mother and stuff. i guess this
doesnt explain why im drawing asian stuff all the time tho,
but im not sure its relevant for the question as ure being
difficult
ps oh yes! it all comes back to me :P why do you draw only
japanese cuties? :
tmk amazing isnt it? : actually, i did draw western cuties back
in the good ol days, but as noone noticed me i figured that i
had to draw something different. as im not the most inovative
person on face of this earth i didnt go for any fancy style, i
just switched from drawing western gals to asian gals. since
things went better then, i decided to stick to it. despite what
the sprite advertisement says about image is nothing, it
seems like image is everything on the demo scene. i might draw
some korean cuties, not just japanese cuties, but u would never
know would u? :P
ps hehe, is there a diference?
tmk well, japanese cuties tend to live in japan, while korean
cuties tend to live in korea. its quite fundamental as if u go
to korea to meet japanese cuties u wont get anywhere.
ps i mean visually! :P
tmk well, u cant see all the way from korea to japan nor the other
way around.
ps er... u can?
tmk anyways, i like to think of the stuff i draw as japanese as it
seems.. dunno. more natural. i guess im getting old and
starting to get into this i have to find my roots before i
die-phenomena. besides, i prefer girls that can make me some
decent sushi. : sushi is neat. u may argue that for instans
yaku niku might originally be from korea, but i bet the
japanese yaku niku tastes better anyway. and while were
talking about food, i could of course draw chinese chicks, but
thats not really the same. i cant stand chinese food for more
than a week before i flip out.
ps what does yaku niku mean?
tmk yakuniku is a japanese meal where u fry some beef on a special
frypan thingy on the table while u eat. niku means meat, so i
guess u can guess what yaku means.
ps hehe so when did you found out about the demoscene?
tmk hm... i was quite late actually. i stumbled across some demos
back in 94 together with some friends. we figured demos were
nice, but didnt really know anything about it. then we attended
tg94 and formed INF. we were without doubt the lamest group
around, but we had fun. i only did code back then tho, it was
in 95 or so i had to do some graphics as noone else did it and
then it developed from there.
ps so that was your first party? how was it like?
tmk my first party was tg94. how it was? erh.. im not really sure,
but i remember it as great. i didnt have anything to compare it
with and i made alot of new friends there so it was nice. of
course, if i think about the level of the compos etc. later i
guess it wasnt anything special tho. :
ps and what was your latest party then?
tmk my latest so far is tg99.
ps how was it comparing to tg94?
tmk compared to 94? hehe... well, since 94 party networks have
become common u know the network actually worked this year.
except from that i dont have much nice things to say about it.
the party really sucked from a sceners point of view. the main
issue was to get the party as big as possible. it was big
alright, but it was also very very boring. great place to be if
halflife and leeching porn is ur hobbies, otherwise.. nah.
ps you got 1st place at demo and gfx compo. care to share your
secrets? :
tmk yeah, be cynical and vote on urself. erh.. im not really sure.
voters are strange ppl.
ps hehe : so THIS is the result of 5 years of scenering! how do
you feel? :P did you do any big mistakes on the evolution
process?
tmk not sure. hehe.. wasted time perhaps. mistakes.. hm. i should
have done less graphics and tried to do some scene related
coding. i didnt do that. that was stupid. i guess i could have
moved to photoshop earlier as well as i feel im abit behind
when it comes to 24bit. bla bla... i should have focused less
on the scene more on school.. bla bla bla... whatever. :P
ps what do you mean you are behind? yours pics rule!!!!!!!!!
tmk hehe.. thx. i mean that if i had started using 24bit earlier i
would have more control in photoshop than now. but that will
come eventually anyways, and if i had done that i would be
worse in 8bit than im not. im just trying to come up with
something ive done wrong to make ur interview interesting, but
as im such a clever guy i cant really come up with any good
ones. :
ps hehe! there we go! : so whats up on norway? hows the scene
going?
tmk the scene isnt going anywhere. its quite dead. its too few ppl
actually doing anything, most of them just pretend they are
very elite and thats about it. its like, if uve seen a demo u
call urself a scener. otherwise norway is.. hm.. the food here
is awfull. this is THE bread and potato country. cute gals and
things like that around tho. the snow is melting now, nice.
ps well, ive been told norway is very beautifull too many times
care to reply?
* tmk looks at his writing and starts to wonder about the
toefl-test he is supposed to have on thursday :/
tmk care to reply on what? if norway is beautifull or not?
guess its kinda nice if u like snow, mountains, and fjords.
ps hehehe are you that bored of them? :
tmk r u running out of clever questions? ive never been too
found of snow. if i leave i would probably miss it, but right
now i like to be somewhere else. :
ps ok, let me give you some work then, how do you say
Fucking rules on norwegian?
tmk just when i thought norwegian potatos were the most boring
thing around u showed up.
ps whats wrong with norwegian potatos?
tmk i guess u cant really translate that sentence to propper
norwegain without making a totally different sentence. :
ps then make a totally diferent sentence. its the meaning that
counts! :D
tmk its not the potatos that is the problem, its the fact that ppl
here eat them every day. its totally insane.
ps bahaha no rice on norway? or your too used of eating it
everyday like on japan?
tmk u can get rice here, im just talking about what the average
person here eats. rice is nice. :
ps so you prefer rice over potatos then? is that what you are
trying to say?
tmk something like that. im not really trying to say anything, im
just trying to keep up writing nothing just like u. :
ps but this is important. i want to know what do i need to eat
to be able to draw realistic cute girls on my computer!!!
oh cammon... please tell me...
tmk first u grab hold of the first and cutest girl u can find and
make her make u some decent food that doesnt contain potatos.
sushi for instance. skip the bread and eat noodles. i was
supposed to do a research on graphicians eating habits but i
never finished that. danny for instans drinks tea all the time,
that might help too.
* ps writes down... teagood
ps thank you! : so why do you draw girls all the time? are you
some sort of demented pervert who cant get none?
tmk yeah, im hanibal lector jr... : seriously tho, im doing fine.
its just that when ure going to draw something ure supposed to
stair at the stupid drawing for hours. its not very inspiring
stairing at a fat aged man for instans. beside, if u spend so
much time on a drawing, u want it to look nice when its
completed, and girls tend to look nicer than most all?
things. :
ps uuuuuuuhhhhhhh arent philosofical today? : i guess you use
that sentence alot to pick up girls no? :P
tmk no, usually just hi, im tom does the trick. :
ps i should use that! thx for the tip! hi, im tom sounds cool!
: although i would be lying! :P does that matter?
tmk no idea. girls like to say they want u to be honest and stuff.
ps humm...
* ps notes down: be honest!
ps hei! thx!! your beeing quiet usefull!!! :
tmk write down this to look like tom and be like tom etc.
ps so whats planned for the future on the demoscene? you already
won 2 gfx compos! what now? some more?
tmk ive won 2? i thought i had won 8 or so. oh well. i havent
planned much, i think ill quit it in the near future. im going
to tokyo to study from august, and there isnt really any demo
scene in japan which makes it less interesting to keep on being
active. ive told ppl that im going to quit many times before
tho, lets see if i can manage this time. :
editor: by 2 i meant the last 2 he participated tp8 and tg99 but...
ps i read it somewhere csipd i think that the ppl who are
thinking of leaving the scene normally say the scene is dying
as an excuse
tmk isnt that natural? it sounds very cool to say such, much
better than i feel too lazy and i simple cant keep up with
the rest anymore etc.
ps yeah, sounds like that to me. i didnt knew you were leaving
for japan! do you plan to come back?
tmk yeah, im planning to come back. im just trying to find a
really good excuse to quit the scene.
ps no, i mean to japan! not the scene
tmk okah, lets do this again: yes, i plan to come back from japan
again. im just trying to find a good excuse for quitting the
scene.
editor: i was a little slow... :P
ps aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
when will you come back? 1 year? 2?
editor: im speeding up now! :P
tmk ive only planned 1 year so far. then well see. is it just me,
or is this truly boring?
ps no its not. now you shocked me! i didnt knew you were going
to japan!
tmk got this feeling that beside u noone would find this amusing.
i didnt mean that, i ment the whole conversation. :
perhaps ill start drawing blonde scandinavian chicks when i
get there.
ps i know i know... who gives a shit about what ppl think of the
interview!
hehe :
ok, so lets get technical so ppl really find this boring!
tmk uh-huh technical? what topic?
ps whats the really big diference between 8bit and 24bit pics?
i mean drawing them..
tmk pal bla bla bla etc
ps oh cammon... if you want to do an 8bit do you do the same
thing as in 24bit except for the fact that in one you use
paintbrushes and on the other you go fix the pixels one at a
time?
tmk ure clever. thats the difference. and i dont have to fight a
never ending battle with the pallette when i do 24bit.
ps bahaha, does that mean 8bit suck? :
tmk no way. i prefere 8bit. its more charm to it.
ps more charm? ed: slow again..
tmk yeah.
ps interesting choice of words. care to unravel the secret
meaning?
tmk try drawing a 24bit and an 8bit and ull get my point.
ps its more rewarding to see the final result?
* tmk lacks vocabulary
ps lacking is not good! :
tmk its more human kinda. not sure how to explain this.
i know
ps sounds more like you made it and not some resource? :
tmk whatever u say. i wont agree, but im too tired to argue about
this. ed: you seem tired! lacking words to describe the
diference between doing an 8bit and a 24bit!
ps what have you been doing to feel so tired? yeah, lets have a
24h with tmk thing! :P
tmk its 2:50am mister.
ps so what?
tmk cant, i got studies u know.
ps i mean, tell us about your last 24h! :
tmk woke up at some chicks place - ate breakfast - went to school -
had lectures - finished an assignment - ate lunch with someone
- went home - ate dinner - coded abit - watched some tv - irc.
ps sounds like fun to me ed: waking up at your mothers house
doesnt count!!!
tmk why dont u include ur autoexec.bat or something in demojournal
isntead? this will bore ppl.
ps my autoexec.bat is confidential. shut up and tell us what are
your favorite coder/gfx/musician so we can end the interview
today
tmk its confidential too. its not really something im able to
evaluate.
ps just shoot some names that pop on your head
tmk names other than names of cute jpop stars dont tend to pop on
my head.
ps your really tired man! : drop some urls and/or emails and go
to bed. this interview is over! :
tmk emails and stuff.. sure.. amusing ppl can contact me at
tmk@earthling.net
nite
ps bye and thx tomka! you rule! :
tmk np, as for the rule part, im too tired to disagree.
ps bahahah
editor: damn he was tired!
Session Close: Tue Apr 20 01:57:44 1999
! demo !
Fabula by Function party-version
Found at ftp://demo.cat.hu
???th place at Elevator99
System requirements:
2.5 MB HD, a Midas-compatible soundcard,
a VGA-card that supports mode 13H 320*200*256, this might be a
problem :
No memory-requirements listed, but I doubt its above 16MB.
The Demo:
This is the second demo from Function, and it has a kind of
oldskool feeling. It starts with a logo with TV-static, then the
credits are shown with photos, really cool: we see the members
walking towards the camera at night in a dark street. Now lots of
full-screen 2D-effects are shown, nothing very new or original, but
at an OK speed. They made very good use of the palette, fast changes,
I first thought I was looking at an Vesa2 demo. The bad side of this
is they use far too much white flashes, and every transition to a new
effect is either a fade to black or a flash. I know this is easy in
mode 13H, but try to be more original! Almost no 3D, only a
wire-framed star with hidden surface removal at the end. There are
few pictures, some logos, some faces, with the standard nice girl.
Ive seen worse, but Ive also seen better ones. The pictures are
the only way to see its a low-color mode, as some of them are
dithered.
The music:
Theres only one tune, it starts with a soft guitar, then changes
into some kind of rock-tune which sounds a lot like Nirvana,
especially during the title screen. It doesnt change very much,
only a slower part during the pictures, but I like it anyways. Its
a nice change from the usual techno/ambient most of the demos use
nowadays.
Worth the download?
Function are rather new, and we can see that: no revolutionary
effects, no own library system all graphics are in a subdirectory
in PCX-format, yuck!, no complex 3D,... But they have some original
ideas, and looking at the credit-photos, most members are fairly
young, so they have lots of time to improve. Download this if you
like to check out new groups, or if you like Nirvana-style music.
After all, its only 1.4 MB zipped.

! intro !
Purple - Public Demand 1st at The Gathering 99
Last year they couldnt reach the 1st place at the podium, but
now! The intro is really nice, shows some effects in a new sight,
like metaballing with toruses and not spheres, with the usual
halftone as background. Funny is the particling part what is
inspirated by a WinAmp plugin called Geiss.
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/geiss/geiss.html The power-field
or what is its name effect what i have seen in Jizz first time is
here used as layer, and the background is rotating and blured,
Awesome! Some greetings is comming between two big spheres, with
flares. So all what i can say it is worth to download, but the truth
is that Photon impressed me last year much more...
dlee
! music !
Chernobyl flowers by Rez/TPOLM
Its another chip tune from the master rez. It starts with a very
happy melody. lalalalalala. Then you get hit by some heavy techno
beats from nowhere! you can imagine how the tune varies from here
on... lalalala PUM PUM PUM lalalalalala PUM PUM PUM PUM lalala lala
:P Very wicked! Shodan wake up at the sound of that on Arf!party.
If you hevent woke up at the sound of chernobyl flowers you havent
lived yet!!! :
ps
editor: oh yeah, willbe put the volume at 180 on that occasion and
shodan was sleeping right under the speakers. :D
! quote !
UNREAL PS: once I came to coders, and it was boring.. I yelled
you can all go to hell! and right after everybody split :D
! question !
what do you think about scene charts?
they suck! they just suck! THEY S-U-C-K!!!!!
BAM
well, i kind of like this pure style.
now that diskmags are gone, i cant but highly appreciate the editors
effort.
t.
are you going to put scenecharts back to demojournal?
i guess theyre ok.. but i dont follow doose..
distance
ehrm, well, actually they dont say that much, but i think they are needed
anyway. Its the same as with music charts, some tunes that are placed high
suck because of people different thoughts as Dr. Bombay and so on... Same
with scene charts. If a demo is placed high on a chart doesnt mean its
good, just that it is popular.
errrhm. well. anyway.
keep on boozing.
gfy/replay
As I wrote in an article in Hugi 14, I consider charts an important
element of the demo scene. Charts say who and what productions are hot,
who is known and who is not, what newcomer has lately become famous,
what group is most active, etc. They are an important indicator of new
talents and new productions that are worth checking out.
It is really a pity that there is no charts of significance on PC at the
moment. OK, there are, for instance, the mags Measure and Heroin,
both with more than hundred voters. But more than 90 of the Measure
voters come from Poland, so its no international charts. And the charts
in Heroin 1 were already a tad, namely more than half a year, old when
the mag was released.
Actually The E-Mag Network wanted to create a new chartsmag together,
called The Charts. This name should be taken literally. Several
diskmags around the globe, Hugi included, were supposed to collaborate
on spreading votesheets. The Charts would then be released as frequently
as possible, after getting at least 200 fresh votesheets. However, this
project has temporarily been put on ice due to the fact that the coder
is busy with university.
As a consequence, Hugi currently plans to install charts again. The next
issue, 15, which is scheduled for May 1999, is supposed to contain a
handy votesheet. The results will be published in Hugi 16, whenever
that number is going to be released. Currently we plan to host world
charts, including the same sections as in the Hugi 12 charts demos,
intros, groups, diskmags plus coders, graphicians and musicians.
Instead of Hugi 12 for which you could only vote for three items per
section, you will be able to list up to five items in each section. This
will ensure a greater variety of names appearing in the charts. Actually
we had planned more sections in The Charts than we will now have in the
Hugi charts, but lets keep it this way first. Future will show how our
readers will accept it. Moreover, we might consider installing local
charts as known from Fleur, where each voter can vote for
people/productions from his own country. But this feature isnt sure
yet, as it would require a vast number of voters in each country to lead
to representative results.
I hope that installing charts in Hugi will stimulate competition and
help new talents to get known faster.
Any comments or suggestions? Contact me at hugi@netway.at.
Adok/Hugi
I like charts, they give me an idea of what demos I
should check out that I havent seen yet.
they are cool, and they are needed! of course those counted with more
than 100 votes...
Garfield/IPCPengoLo 2+7
theyre mostly fucked, and in most cases arent representative enough to be
shown...
Szum/Cryogen
Charts are always like that: Pulse-Lazur-Unreal sometimes Statix -Falcon
or Dune - Tribes/Sunflower/73MS ... This isnt bad, becouse these guys are
really made dope, but sometimes boring are these results.
Some notsowell known people could be presented too in this charts, like
Thor/Tpolm or Optic/TRSI. I have never seen them...
And if you are always on top: 1. you think you are elite. 2. your work will
be flamed a lot...
I still dont know - We need charts? Maybe yes.

The worlds most popular active diskmag. Freeware.
Sylvia Krasnieski was born in San Francisco, California, as the daughter of
a Polish father and a half-French, half-Italian mother. Right now she is 24
years old and one of the worlds top models. Actually I wanted to study
art, she says. But when I won the Supermodel contest some years ago, I
decided I had no other choice than to start a professional model career. Now
I am mainly a model but use as much of my spare time as possible to study.
We asked her where she got the energy to be a model and study at the same
time. In a mysterious voice, she answered: I got it from my leisure
activities when I was still at highschool. This gave me the happiness and
motivation I need for my career. Being asked for details, Sylvia says: I
spent as much time as possible going out with my friends. And whenever I was
alone, I used to read my Hugi.
Peter Rosenthal was born in New York City as the son of a Jewish father and
a half-German, half-British mother. Right now he is 21 years old and already
the director of the one of the worlds leading software companies. Our
success comes from an innovative software engineering tool called NeuroCode,
whose development I have already started when I was at highschool. It makes
programming much easier because of its artificial intelligence. You just
have to implement the basic concepts, and then the program will do
everything for you based on your dialogue with it. In other words, you talk
to the intelligent program. And it anticipates your wishes. We asked him
where he got the inspiration for this innovation. He said, I used to
discuss all kinds of problems with my friends. In this way I got a lot of
ideas. And whenever I was alone, I used to read my Hugi.

This week! I have been mostly eating... aspirins
! interview !
Session Start: Tue Apr 20 00:04:53 1999
*** tmk has joined demojournal
ps who are you? :
tmk uh, dunno. u should know since u want to interview me.
ps you are tom moyatoshi smtg but please help me!!!
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ppppppppplllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeee
help me
tmk oh alright then. my name in the brave real world is tom
motoyoshi kalland. 1977 edition, makes me about 21 years right
now. nothing much to say otherwise, except that im a student
or so they tell me do some work yeah rite... hahaha, etc.
ps what do you study and where do you work?
tmk on the scene im known among those i know at least as tmk. i
tend to do graphics and such on the scene as well as whining on
irc where i go under the names tmk, toshi, gohan, etc. alot of
crap. stop whining, im trying to chat with other ppl as well as
coding here! :
ps okokokok but answer the question! :
tmk im studying japanese and computer science at the university of
oslo. its my third year now.. not that i really feel i get
anywhere. i work as a programmer beside my studies. its even
more boring. :
where i work? in norway.
ps whats all this with the asian stuff? why do you have a jap
name and all that?
tmk its all a big mystery and all, but ive heard rumours that my
name might have something to do with the fact that im half
japanese having a japanese mother and stuff. i guess this
doesnt explain why im drawing asian stuff all the time tho,
but im not sure its relevant for the question as ure being
difficult
ps oh yes! it all comes back to me :P why do you draw only
japanese cuties? :
tmk amazing isnt it? : actually, i did draw western cuties back
in the good ol days, but as noone noticed me i figured that i
had to draw something different. as im not the most inovative
person on face of this earth i didnt go for any fancy style, i
just switched from drawing western gals to asian gals. since
things went better then, i decided to stick to it. despite what
the sprite advertisement says about image is nothing, it
seems like image is everything on the demo scene. i might draw
some korean cuties, not just japanese cuties, but u would never
know would u? :P
ps hehe, is there a diference?
tmk well, japanese cuties tend to live in japan, while korean
cuties tend to live in korea. its quite fundamental as if u go
to korea to meet japanese cuties u wont get anywhere.
ps i mean visually! :P
tmk well, u cant see all the way from korea to japan nor the other
way around.
ps er... u can?
tmk anyways, i like to think of the stuff i draw as japanese as it
seems.. dunno. more natural. i guess im getting old and
starting to get into this i have to find my roots before i
die-phenomena. besides, i prefer girls that can make me some
decent sushi. : sushi is neat. u may argue that for instans
yaku niku might originally be from korea, but i bet the
japanese yaku niku tastes better anyway. and while were
talking about food, i could of course draw chinese chicks, but
thats not really the same. i cant stand chinese food for more
than a week before i flip out.
ps what does yaku niku mean?
tmk yakuniku is a japanese meal where u fry some beef on a special
frypan thingy on the table while u eat. niku means meat, so i
guess u can guess what yaku means.
ps hehe so when did you found out about the demoscene?
tmk hm... i was quite late actually. i stumbled across some demos
back in 94 together with some friends. we figured demos were
nice, but didnt really know anything about it. then we attended
tg94 and formed INF. we were without doubt the lamest group
around, but we had fun. i only did code back then tho, it was
in 95 or so i had to do some graphics as noone else did it and
then it developed from there.
ps so that was your first party? how was it like?
tmk my first party was tg94. how it was? erh.. im not really sure,
but i remember it as great. i didnt have anything to compare it
with and i made alot of new friends there so it was nice. of
course, if i think about the level of the compos etc. later i
guess it wasnt anything special tho. :
ps and what was your latest party then?
tmk my latest so far is tg99.
ps how was it comparing to tg94?
tmk compared to 94? hehe... well, since 94 party networks have
become common u know the network actually worked this year.
except from that i dont have much nice things to say about it.
the party really sucked from a sceners point of view. the main
issue was to get the party as big as possible. it was big
alright, but it was also very very boring. great place to be if
halflife and leeching porn is ur hobbies, otherwise.. nah.
ps you got 1st place at demo and gfx compo. care to share your
secrets? :
tmk yeah, be cynical and vote on urself. erh.. im not really sure.
voters are strange ppl.
ps hehe : so THIS is the result of 5 years of scenering! how do
you feel? :P did you do any big mistakes on the evolution
process?
tmk not sure. hehe.. wasted time perhaps. mistakes.. hm. i should
have done less graphics and tried to do some scene related
coding. i didnt do that. that was stupid. i guess i could have
moved to photoshop earlier as well as i feel im abit behind
when it comes to 24bit. bla bla... i should have focused less
on the scene more on school.. bla bla bla... whatever. :P
ps what do you mean you are behind? yours pics rule!!!!!!!!!
tmk hehe.. thx. i mean that if i had started using 24bit earlier i
would have more control in photoshop than now. but that will
come eventually anyways, and if i had done that i would be
worse in 8bit than im not. im just trying to come up with
something ive done wrong to make ur interview interesting, but
as im such a clever guy i cant really come up with any good
ones. :
ps hehe! there we go! : so whats up on norway? hows the scene
going?
tmk the scene isnt going anywhere. its quite dead. its too few ppl
actually doing anything, most of them just pretend they are
very elite and thats about it. its like, if uve seen a demo u
call urself a scener. otherwise norway is.. hm.. the food here
is awfull. this is THE bread and potato country. cute gals and
things like that around tho. the snow is melting now, nice.
ps well, ive been told norway is very beautifull too many times
care to reply?
* tmk looks at his writing and starts to wonder about the
toefl-test he is supposed to have on thursday :/
tmk care to reply on what? if norway is beautifull or not?
guess its kinda nice if u like snow, mountains, and fjords.
ps hehehe are you that bored of them? :
tmk r u running out of clever questions? ive never been too
found of snow. if i leave i would probably miss it, but right
now i like to be somewhere else. :
ps ok, let me give you some work then, how do you say
Fucking rules on norwegian?
tmk just when i thought norwegian potatos were the most boring
thing around u showed up.
ps whats wrong with norwegian potatos?
tmk i guess u cant really translate that sentence to propper
norwegain without making a totally different sentence. :
ps then make a totally diferent sentence. its the meaning that
counts! :D
tmk its not the potatos that is the problem, its the fact that ppl
here eat them every day. its totally insane.
ps bahaha no rice on norway? or your too used of eating it
everyday like on japan?
tmk u can get rice here, im just talking about what the average
person here eats. rice is nice. :
ps so you prefer rice over potatos then? is that what you are
trying to say?
tmk something like that. im not really trying to say anything, im
just trying to keep up writing nothing just like u. :
ps but this is important. i want to know what do i need to eat
to be able to draw realistic cute girls on my computer!!!
oh cammon... please tell me...
tmk first u grab hold of the first and cutest girl u can find and
make her make u some decent food that doesnt contain potatos.
sushi for instance. skip the bread and eat noodles. i was
supposed to do a research on graphicians eating habits but i
never finished that. danny for instans drinks tea all the time,
that might help too.
* ps writes down... teagood
ps thank you! : so why do you draw girls all the time? are you
some sort of demented pervert who cant get none?
tmk yeah, im hanibal lector jr... : seriously tho, im doing fine.
its just that when ure going to draw something ure supposed to
stair at the stupid drawing for hours. its not very inspiring
stairing at a fat aged man for instans. beside, if u spend so
much time on a drawing, u want it to look nice when its
completed, and girls tend to look nicer than most all?
things. :
ps uuuuuuuhhhhhhh arent philosofical today? : i guess you use
that sentence alot to pick up girls no? :P
tmk no, usually just hi, im tom does the trick. :
ps i should use that! thx for the tip! hi, im tom sounds cool!
: although i would be lying! :P does that matter?
tmk no idea. girls like to say they want u to be honest and stuff.
ps humm...
* ps notes down: be honest!
ps hei! thx!! your beeing quiet usefull!!! :
tmk write down this to look like tom and be like tom etc.
ps so whats planned for the future on the demoscene? you already
won 2 gfx compos! what now? some more?
tmk ive won 2? i thought i had won 8 or so. oh well. i havent
planned much, i think ill quit it in the near future. im going
to tokyo to study from august, and there isnt really any demo
scene in japan which makes it less interesting to keep on being
active. ive told ppl that im going to quit many times before
tho, lets see if i can manage this time. :
editor: by 2 i meant the last 2 he participated tp8 and tg99 but...
ps i read it somewhere csipd i think that the ppl who are
thinking of leaving the scene normally say the scene is dying
as an excuse
tmk isnt that natural? it sounds very cool to say such, much
better than i feel too lazy and i simple cant keep up with
the rest anymore etc.
ps yeah, sounds like that to me. i didnt knew you were leaving
for japan! do you plan to come back?
tmk yeah, im planning to come back. im just trying to find a
really good excuse to quit the scene.
ps no, i mean to japan! not the scene
tmk okah, lets do this again: yes, i plan to come back from japan
again. im just trying to find a good excuse for quitting the
scene.
editor: i was a little slow... :P
ps aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
when will you come back? 1 year? 2?
editor: im speeding up now! :P
tmk ive only planned 1 year so far. then well see. is it just me,
or is this truly boring?
ps no its not. now you shocked me! i didnt knew you were going
to japan!
tmk got this feeling that beside u noone would find this amusing.
i didnt mean that, i ment the whole conversation. :
perhaps ill start drawing blonde scandinavian chicks when i
get there.
ps i know i know... who gives a shit about what ppl think of the
interview!
hehe :
ok, so lets get technical so ppl really find this boring!
tmk uh-huh technical? what topic?
ps whats the really big diference between 8bit and 24bit pics?
i mean drawing them..
tmk pal bla bla bla etc
ps oh cammon... if you want to do an 8bit do you do the same
thing as in 24bit except for the fact that in one you use
paintbrushes and on the other you go fix the pixels one at a
time?
tmk ure clever. thats the difference. and i dont have to fight a
never ending battle with the pallette when i do 24bit.
ps bahaha, does that mean 8bit suck? :
tmk no way. i prefere 8bit. its more charm to it.
ps more charm? ed: slow again..
tmk yeah.
ps interesting choice of words. care to unravel the secret
meaning?
tmk try drawing a 24bit and an 8bit and ull get my point.
ps its more rewarding to see the final result?
* tmk lacks vocabulary
ps lacking is not good! :
tmk its more human kinda. not sure how to explain this.
i know
ps sounds more like you made it and not some resource? :
tmk whatever u say. i wont agree, but im too tired to argue about
this. ed: you seem tired! lacking words to describe the
diference between doing an 8bit and a 24bit!
ps what have you been doing to feel so tired? yeah, lets have a
24h with tmk thing! :P
tmk its 2:50am mister.
ps so what?
tmk cant, i got studies u know.
ps i mean, tell us about your last 24h! :
tmk woke up at some chicks place - ate breakfast - went to school -
had lectures - finished an assignment - ate lunch with someone
- went home - ate dinner - coded abit - watched some tv - irc.
ps sounds like fun to me ed: waking up at your mothers house
doesnt count!!!
tmk why dont u include ur autoexec.bat or something in demojournal
isntead? this will bore ppl.
ps my autoexec.bat is confidential. shut up and tell us what are
your favorite coder/gfx/musician so we can end the interview
today
tmk its confidential too. its not really something im able to
evaluate.
ps just shoot some names that pop on your head
tmk names other than names of cute jpop stars dont tend to pop on
my head.
ps your really tired man! : drop some urls and/or emails and go
to bed. this interview is over! :
tmk emails and stuff.. sure.. amusing ppl can contact me at
tmk@earthling.net
nite
ps bye and thx tomka! you rule! :
tmk np, as for the rule part, im too tired to disagree.
ps bahahah
editor: damn he was tired!
Session Close: Tue Apr 20 01:57:44 1999
! demo !
Fabula by Function party-version
Found at ftp://demo.cat.hu
???th place at Elevator99
System requirements:
2.5 MB HD, a Midas-compatible soundcard,
a VGA-card that supports mode 13H 320*200*256, this might be a
problem :
No memory-requirements listed, but I doubt its above 16MB.
The Demo:
This is the second demo from Function, and it has a kind of
oldskool feeling. It starts with a logo with TV-static, then the
credits are shown with photos, really cool: we see the members
walking towards the camera at night in a dark street. Now lots of
full-screen 2D-effects are shown, nothing very new or original, but
at an OK speed. They made very good use of the palette, fast changes,
I first thought I was looking at an Vesa2 demo. The bad side of this
is they use far too much white flashes, and every transition to a new
effect is either a fade to black or a flash. I know this is easy in
mode 13H, but try to be more original! Almost no 3D, only a
wire-framed star with hidden surface removal at the end. There are
few pictures, some logos, some faces, with the standard nice girl.
Ive seen worse, but Ive also seen better ones. The pictures are
the only way to see its a low-color mode, as some of them are
dithered.
The music:
Theres only one tune, it starts with a soft guitar, then changes
into some kind of rock-tune which sounds a lot like Nirvana,
especially during the title screen. It doesnt change very much,
only a slower part during the pictures, but I like it anyways. Its
a nice change from the usual techno/ambient most of the demos use
nowadays.
Worth the download?
Function are rather new, and we can see that: no revolutionary
effects, no own library system all graphics are in a subdirectory
in PCX-format, yuck!, no complex 3D,... But they have some original
ideas, and looking at the credit-photos, most members are fairly
young, so they have lots of time to improve. Download this if you
like to check out new groups, or if you like Nirvana-style music.

! intro !
Purple - Public Demand 1st at The Gathering 99
Last year they couldnt reach the 1st place at the podium, but
now! The intro is really nice, shows some effects in a new sight,
like metaballing with toruses and not spheres, with the usual
halftone as background. Funny is the particling part what is
inspirated by a WinAmp plugin called Geiss.
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/geiss/geiss.html The power-field
or what is its name effect what i have seen in Jizz first time is
here used as layer, and the background is rotating and blured,
Awesome! Some greetings is comming between two big spheres, with
flares. So all what i can say it is worth to download, but the truth
is that Photon impressed me last year much more...

! music !
Chernobyl flowers by Rez/TPOLM
Its another chip tune from the master rez. It starts with a very
happy melody. lalalalalala. Then you get hit by some heavy techno
beats from nowhere! you can imagine how the tune varies from here
on... lalalala PUM PUM PUM lalalalalala PUM PUM PUM PUM lalala lala
:P Very wicked! Shodan wake up at the sound of that on Arf!party.
If you hevent woke up at the sound of chernobyl flowers you havent
lived yet!!! :
ps
editor: oh yeah, willbe put the volume at 180 on that occasion and
shodan was sleeping right under the speakers. :D
! quote !
UNREAL PS: once I came to coders, and it was boring.. I yelled
you can all go to hell! and right after everybody split :D
! question !
what do you think about scene charts?
they suck! they just suck! THEY S-U-C-K!!!!!
BAM
well, i kind of like this pure style.
now that diskmags are gone, i cant but highly appreciate the editors
effort.
t.
are you going to put scenecharts back to demojournal?
i guess theyre ok.. but i dont follow doose..
distance
ehrm, well, actually they dont say that much, but i think they are needed
anyway. Its the same as with music charts, some tunes that are placed high
suck because of people different thoughts as Dr. Bombay and so on... Same
with scene charts. If a demo is placed high on a chart doesnt mean its
good, just that it is popular.
errrhm. well. anyway.
keep on boozing.

As I wrote in an article in Hugi 14, I consider charts an important
element of the demo scene. Charts say who and what productions are hot,
who is known and who is not, what newcomer has lately become famous,
what group is most active, etc. They are an important indicator of new
talents and new productions that are worth checking out.
It is really a pity that there is no charts of significance on PC at the
moment. OK, there are, for instance, the mags Measure and Heroin,
both with more than hundred voters. But more than 90 of the Measure
voters come from Poland, so its no international charts. And the charts
in Heroin 1 were already a tad, namely more than half a year, old when
the mag was released.
Actually The E-Mag Network wanted to create a new chartsmag together,
called The Charts. This name should be taken literally. Several
diskmags around the globe, Hugi included, were supposed to collaborate
on spreading votesheets. The Charts would then be released as frequently
as possible, after getting at least 200 fresh votesheets. However, this
project has temporarily been put on ice due to the fact that the coder
is busy with university.
As a consequence, Hugi currently plans to install charts again. The next
issue, 15, which is scheduled for May 1999, is supposed to contain a
handy votesheet. The results will be published in Hugi 16, whenever
that number is going to be released. Currently we plan to host world
charts, including the same sections as in the Hugi 12 charts demos,
intros, groups, diskmags plus coders, graphicians and musicians.
Instead of Hugi 12 for which you could only vote for three items per
section, you will be able to list up to five items in each section. This
will ensure a greater variety of names appearing in the charts. Actually
we had planned more sections in The Charts than we will now have in the
Hugi charts, but lets keep it this way first. Future will show how our
readers will accept it. Moreover, we might consider installing local
charts as known from Fleur, where each voter can vote for
people/productions from his own country. But this feature isnt sure
yet, as it would require a vast number of voters in each country to lead
to representative results.
I hope that installing charts in Hugi will stimulate competition and
help new talents to get known faster.
Any comments or suggestions? Contact me at hugi@netway.at.

I like charts, they give me an idea of what demos I
should check out that I havent seen yet.
they are cool, and they are needed! of course those counted with more
than 100 votes...
Garfield/IPCPengoLo 2+7
theyre mostly fucked, and in most cases arent representative enough to be
shown...
Szum/Cryogen
Charts are always like that: Pulse-Lazur-Unreal sometimes Statix -Falcon
or Dune - Tribes/Sunflower/73MS ... This isnt bad, becouse these guys are
really made dope, but sometimes boring are these results.
Some notsowell known people could be presented too in this charts, like
Thor/Tpolm or Optic/TRSI. I have never seen them...
And if you are always on top: 1. you think you are elite. 2. your work will
be flamed a lot...
I still dont know - We need charts? Maybe yes.

The worlds most popular active diskmag. Freeware.
Sylvia Krasnieski was born in San Francisco, California, as the daughter of
a Polish father and a half-French, half-Italian mother. Right now she is 24
years old and one of the worlds top models. Actually I wanted to study
art, she says. But when I won the Supermodel contest some years ago, I
decided I had no other choice than to start a professional model career. Now
I am mainly a model but use as much of my spare time as possible to study.
We asked her where she got the energy to be a model and study at the same
time. In a mysterious voice, she answered: I got it from my leisure
activities when I was still at highschool. This gave me the happiness and
motivation I need for my career. Being asked for details, Sylvia says: I
spent as much time as possible going out with my friends. And whenever I was
alone, I used to read my Hugi.
Peter Rosenthal was born in New York City as the son of a Jewish father and
a half-German, half-British mother. Right now he is 21 years old and already
the director of the one of the worlds leading software companies. Our
success comes from an innovative software engineering tool called NeuroCode,
whose development I have already started when I was at highschool. It makes
programming much easier because of its artificial intelligence. You just
have to implement the basic concepts, and then the program will do
everything for you based on your dialogue with it. In other words, you talk
to the intelligent program. And it anticipates your wishes. We asked him
where he got the inspiration for this innovation. He said, I used to
discuss all kinds of problems with my friends. In this way I got a lot of
ideas. And whenever I was alone, I used to read my Hugi.
