Breeze Demoparty

Projects, Scene — Pedro Cardoso on January 12, 2007 at 10:38 am

A demoparty will take place here in Lisbon in February, 16-18th. Gaming is not allowed, apparently. Judging from the pre-registrations listed on the site there is not a lot of people coming, which is not unusual.

The demoscene here has always been a minor thing. Nowadays with the internet and cheap flights this has become less of a problem, it’s just too bad you grow old and lack all that free time you had when you were younger. There is a limit to what you can do while balancing work (and/or college) and family with your hobbies. Long gone are the days of long hours into the night in front of the computer trying to optimize a demo effect or trying new ideas.

Luckily, gone too are the days of dialling +358 12387128973 to reach Starport BBS to download the STMIK. If it still existed, it’s now much faster/cheaper/easier to just use www.starport.fi :)

Well, I’ll see what I can do with Schism Tracker until then.

What do you do when the biggest threat to your iPod is the ubiquitous cellphone?

You make your [own](http://www.apple.com/iphone/).

Really, I keep seeing people with headphones on, and a lot of them are Nokia’s and SonyEricsson’s. They could be listening to the radio, which is common even on the cheaper units, but I’ve seen plenty of high-end models being used as music players, definitely in the price-range the iPhone is aiming for.

I wouldn’t mind having one, but I can wait. Besides, I’m just the zillionth in the queue..

And one more thing:

Welcome [PlanetGeek](http://www.planetgeek.org) readers and fellow bloggers! We’ll keep in touch! :)

The truth is out there…

What the hell?

“Merge data with the truth”, “Pull the truth from the device”, “Push the truth on the device”???

Mulder, is that you inside my USB Bluetooth dongle?
