- Hey, alright? I was bored! And I had this new book ... which talks about mode
- 18 and mode 19 - yes, that's right. Decimals. Yuk. Anyway, it more or less
- described how to use mode 12h. Maybe less. At least, I couldn't make head nor
- tail of it.
- But thanks to a little bit of help from that book and some more from F .. I
- find this hard to say ... FC's Assembly invite (as disassembled by VLA) .. I
- finally got this working.
- You think the rings are too densely packed? Do I care?
- Hmm ... this intro was caused by boredom ... it seems that everything I've
- released so far has had that up there as a reason. Wow, what have I released?
-
- fire ..... yes, I think I'll leave that at that ;)
- bounce ... a mini-ad for a bbs I no longer call :). The intro's not bad.
- a-ball ... first released with the Whisper Tai-Pan virus in it. whups 8-].
- pacswim .. don't be surprised if you never saw this. It was uploaded to
- only Flick's bbs .. and that wasn't long before Flick died and
- Linespeed closed his old bbs. I'm just waiting for Twisted Soul to
- return and bring it back.
- intro2 ... err yes - I did the floor mapper in that, I'm afraid. Believe me
- when I say that I improved the code after intro2 was released =).
-
- Anyways ... I did begin a 4k intro for Oz'96 ... but the night before the
- train left I dcced it off to Icepick who told me it crashed - in a place I was
- sure it couldn't possibly have crashed. The next day, a few hours before the
- train left, I realised I was not going to add all the other bits to build it up
- from an uncompressed 2.5k .. and then debug it all. Haha.
- Maybe one day I will finish that and release it. For Coven? Unlikely. It's not
- a good 'tro.
-
- Where did the name Spanky come from? Don't ask me .. I merely used it.
-
- Fuck I'm sunburned .. Sunday was the first sunny day we've had in months, and
- of course, who was out in it for >8 hours?
-
- Oh well. Ciao. If you want to contact me to tell me not to bother releasing
- any more shitty intros .. or to ask just how blistered my nose _is_ .. or to
- find out who I really am ... or to comment on the weather .. or for a quick
- fuck ..
-
- email aspect@interzone.apana.org.au (I think?).
-
- I check it sometimes. My Suburbia address is still there, but until they fix
- the problems that seem to come one after another after another, I'm not gonna
- use it. so there.

- PS: Thanks to Wolverine for beta testing it and suggesting the music and the
- text loop slowdown. I have used (of course) RAD for the music. The time the
- text spends onscreen is now driven by the timer interrupt RAD requires.
- I also realised, shortly after talking to Wolverine, that it didn't look as
- trippy as it had before I added the text fades. Guess why? When I was changing
- palette entries 8..15, #6 also managed to get itself changed. Unbelievable.
- Mode 12h is one of those taboos coders never speak of. Now I know why.
- But having mastered it, I reckon I'll find a use for it. Someday =).
