Trivia Info Submitted by Pater Pi on 16 January 2003
This demo was lost on the data highway and instead of reaching me on 21.12. (as it should have) it finaly reached me after the voting started. I've added the authors comment from the vhristmascompo-thread in the forum, please read for further informations:
"In case someone still reads this, I have to tell about what bad luck can do to a coder.
I gathered some useful routines and combined them as a demo. This was my first demo effort and I put many expectations to it for the xmas compo 2002.
First of all I was unable to pack the demo. I tried AB cruncher with REU support to crunch a 202 block file. The packing process was OK, but the program didn't start properly. So I'd participate with unpacked file.
I don't have internet at home, so I had to go to my school in freezing cold walking against storm -class wind. Believe me, I'm not telling lies. I got to the school and sent the file, the 21st of december, long before the deadline.
I went home for Christmas and when I got back I couldn't see my dear demo as a compo entry. Later I found out the organizer's computer break down that same day losing my entry and a couple of others. But those others had internet etc. near them and they could send their entrys another time.
I'm not begging for mercy, but just telling why christmas demo competitions are rarely organized. At least in Finland we don't have internet in every house, so I had only one chance to send my entry. Please keep this in mind next year.
Hopefully I can get my demo released in near future.
Hopefully I have better luck next time.
But what can you say? Life is a bitch and then you die..."
