PICTURE BY MOTION ... MUSIC BY ODIE - TO START WITH IT'S T.M.R WRITING (WELL,IT'S MY CODE SO WHY NOT?!) ALTHOUGH I DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH TO WRITE TO BE HONEST... THERE'S NOT MUCH TIME BEFORE I NEED TO START THINKING ABOUT CRUNCHING THIS DOWN AND IT DOES OCCUR THAT PERHAPS I SHOULD STOP CHOOSING THESE RIDICULOUS DEADLINES... 2006 HAS BEEN A RELATIVELY GOOD YEAR FOR THE C64 I RECKON, IF YOU CAN IGNORE CERTAIN PEOPLE CHURNING OUT SHYTE ''CRACKS'' AND ''DEMOS'' ... OKAY, SO THIS ISN'T EXACTLY GROUNDBREAKING CODE EITHER, BUT AT LEAST IT'S DOING SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, THE EFFECT UNDER THE SCROLLER IS DRAWN REALTIME AND WE PRETTY MUCH THREW THIS TOGETHER IN THE SPACE OF ONE DAY WHILST ON IRC! THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS JUST HAS TO BE ALL THE X'06 RELEASES... SOME UTTER CLASS CAME OUT DURING THAT PARTY, AS WELL AS THE PICTURE FLOOD ON THE CSDB BEFORE AND AFTER IT. LETS HOPE 2007 GOES ON LIKE THE BACK END OF 2006 FOR RELEASES! OKAY, NOW I CAN'T THINK OF A SINGLE THING TO WRITE SO HERE IS ANOTHER MEMBER OF COSINE FOR A NATTER... - OKEY DOKEY. THIS IS ODIE SIGNING IN FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BANTER. I DONT THINK I HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A SCROLLY MESSAGE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I HAVE RESTARTED MY QUEST TO DOMINATE THE C64 WITH MUSIC AND CODE ONCE AGAIN. I THINK I HAVE ABOUT 5 OR 6 NEW TUNES (ONE WHICH YOU ARE LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW) TO FLOOD THE SCENE WITH AND I AM WORKING ON MORE! I HAVE BEEN CODING A NEW PLAYER IN THE LAST FEW DAYS OF 2006 WITH NEW ADVANCED FEATURES AND HOPE TO BE DONE WITHIN A FEW DAYS AND WRITING NEW MUSIC WITH IT. I THINK AFTER 7 YEARS I NEEDED A NEW PLAYER AND I CANNOT FIND MY E.M.S. V8.0 PLAYER SOURCE CODE. ONCE I FINISH THIS NEW PLAYER, T.M.R WANTS A WHOLE LOAD OF CONVERSION WORK DONE AND I THINK THE NEW PLAYER IS THE VERY THING TO TEST IT ON. LESS THAN 7 HOURS TO GO BEFORE THE YEAR 2006 SLIPS AWAY (LESS THAN 6 FOR SOME OF OUR OTHER COSINE FRIENDS ON THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT). I WILL PROBABLY SLEEP THROUGH THE TRANSITION AND NOT SEE THIS UNTIL SEVERAL HOURS INTO 2007. WHEN 2007 COMES ROUND, HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND ALL THE BEST. THIS IS ODIE SIGNING OUT AT 5.10PM ON THE 31ST OF DECEMBER 2006... - ...AH, AT LONG LAST, MOTION FINALLY GETS TO DO SOMETHING FOR COSINE! TO BE HONEST I DIDN'T THINK T.M.R WOULD OF USED THIS PIC OF MINE ABOVE, BUT I THINK IT LOOKS QUITE AT HOME UP THERE (EVEN IF HE HAS HACKED OFF A COLUMN ON EACH SIDE!). THE PIC IS OF ''DEEP THOUGHT'', A COMPUTER BUILT BY A RACE OF HYPER-INTELLIGENT PAN-DIMENSIONAL BEINGS TO CALCULATE THE ANSWER TO ''THE ULTIMATE QUESTION OF LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERYTHING''. WHEN, AFTER SEVEN AND A HALF MILLION YEARS OF CALCULATION, THE ANSWER FINALLY TURNS OUT TO BE 42 (A RESULT WHICH ALL COMMODORE SCENERS KNOW TO BE HIGHLY INACCURATE, AS THE TRUE ANSWER IS MOST CERTAINLY, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, 64!) DEEP THOUGHT'S ORIGIN STEMS FROM WITHIN DOUGLAS ADAMS RADIO PLAY FROM 1979, ''THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY''. ANYWAY, SEEING AS THIS IS A NEW YEARS RELEASE - SOME SALUTATIONS TO THE FAVOURED! HI TO... T.M.R (GREAT TO BE ON THE TEAM!) ... BEXTA (I'M LOVIN' THOSE NEW SID CHOONS, LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING A MUSIC COLLECTION!) ... BIZZMO (GOD YOU'RE GOOD! ME A PERV? WHO'S GOT THE TELESCOPE, EH?) ... INTENSITY (YOU'RE CHEEKY BUT FUN!) ... MERMAID (A TRUE PIXEL MAGICIAN - WONDERFUL INSPIRING WORK!) ... JEFF (YOU SURE WE'RE NOT RELATED? HA!) ... BREN (I WISH YOU'D COME BACK TO THE C64 PROPER.) ... WIDDY (I CAN TALK GREAT SHIT, ESPECIALLY IN GERMAN!) ... FROODLE (LOVE YOUR OLD DEMOS AND THANX FOR GETTING BACK TO ME!) ... EL STOCKO (GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK, NOW CODE A DEMO!) ... FINALLY A FEW SHOUTS OUT TO... CBA, ACIDCHILD, CENTRAX, JAKTRIP AND NOT FORGETTING PITCHER OF MAYHEM. HAVE GREAT NEW YEAR! LATER FOLKS... - -BRP- FUNGUS HERE... HAPPY NY TO ALL OF OUR FELLOW FRIENDS, WEIRDO'S AND IMMORTALS. PLEASE BE YOURSELF IN THE NEW YEAR AND MOST OF ALL BE HAPPY (EXCEPT WDR, WHO CAN JUST GO FUCK RIGHT OFF AND DIE). THE MESSAGE OF THE DAY IS... DONT HOLD ON TO ANYTHING YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN TO MOM LATER... RIGHT THEN, SO WHAT TO SAY AS I'M SITTIN HERE ON IRC BEING YELLED AT FOR NOT GETTING TO THIS 3 HOURS AGO. HMM WELL... THE ANSWER IS 42 OF COURSE. THE DAY IS YOUNG AND THE YEAR IS OLD, NOW IS THE TIME WHEN WE CONSUME LARGE QUANTITIES OF BEVERAGE, AND IT IS MORE THAN A MERE REQUISITE. SO ENJOY YOUR TOXIN OF CHOICE (OR LACK THERE OF) AND ENJOY THIS DEMO, AND PROBABLY NOT MY SCROLLTEXT AS - 'M IN A RATHER BOORISH MOOD AND CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING WITTY TO SAY. SO I GUESS I WILL WRAP THIS UP QUICKY, AS IT'S JUST TOO MUCH TORTURE IN MY CURRENT STATE OF MIND (OR LACK THEREOF) TO CONTINUE THIS PALTRY CHARADE. AND NOW MY GREETINGS... ALL ON C-64, MY GROUPS HOME CHANNELS, ALL ON BITFELLAS, ALL ON OSG, ALL ON C64FRIENDS, HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR. CHEERS. - HEEEEEY NERDS!!!!
