***********
Yes, it's another great STOSSER competetion. Once again we're giving away
some excellent goodies. 1st prize is a pile of commercial games and we
also have a second prize this time of ten disks of P.D, and there's even a
third prize of 5 disks of STOS routines. What do you have to do to enter
the competetion you ask?....... Easy. simply fill in the questionaire
below, and send it in to me:
KEEFY, at 57 HEARSALL LANE EARLSDON COVENTRY CV5 6HF
It must be on disk though, because i'd like to use one or two of them in
future issues of STOSSER. I've added a few questions from the last issue
as a few people thought the last one was a little plain. To load this
file into your wordprocessor, the file you'll need is on the desktop
somewhere under the FILLME.IN. Simply fill it in and send it to me,
easy or what?. You've got no excuse because you've got until the 6th
June.
We've already received a couple of entries, but this issue it's the turn
of Chris Sharp to tell us everything about himself. Take it away Chris.
1.NAME:
Chris Sharp
2.ALIASES:
The D.C.I,
Chris of Supreme.
3.AGE:
18
4.HOME:
Eh? Do you mean where I live? Well its -:

Wales
CF64 4QQ
5.OCCUPATION:
Part time Technical Advisor at PC World, Cardiff.
6.PREVIOUS COMPUTERS:
Spectrum, Nintendo, Amstrad PC 1640 (Wahey!)
7.PRESENT COMPUTER:
Atari ST 1040. Atari Falcon 030
8.OTHER HARDWARE:
Full range of M.I.D.I Kit. Atari mono monitor. Joystick
9.ST USED FOR:
Programming commercial software. Writing Licenceware products.
10.BEST APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE:
Oooh... Timeworks! Its simply the best, for ease of use and for having
the most options of a DTP package. And it was free with a magazine!
11.BEST GAMES:
'Zool' is pretty good! Oh yeah, 'Oh No more lemmings' is great as well.
I still haven't completed that.
12.MOST USELESS HARDWARE:
That stupid TRACEY thing. I bought one and they are utterly useless!
Still it only cost me £7.99
(ed. I'll make you sick now Chris, it was given away on the front cover
of one of the Amiga mags once, and it was only a quid. Even then i still
reckon it was a waste of money).
13.MOST USELESS SOFTWARE:
ST Basic!!! (You've got to admit it, it was excellent wasn't it!)
14.MOST DESIRED HARDWARE:
A Dell PC Netplex network, with at least 4 computers linked in. I want to
write a version of the Laplink program for the PC.
15.LIKES:
Oh, loads of things! Computers, STOS BASIC!!!!. The Cellnet phone I had
for christmas is pretty good, but it costs a fortune to run! Loads of
others too, but I can't think of any, sorry!
16.DISLIKES:
FaST Basic. I also don't like the fact that you can only have up to 16
sprites on screen at one time with STOS Basic. However, with the excellent
Missing Link extension, you can have any number of sprites!
17.FAVOURITE MUSIC:
Dinosaur Jnr. Their best song is MISSING LINK (really!). Its really good.
18.FAVOURITE RECORD:
See above for the answer to that!
19.DISLIKED MUSIC:
I don't really like RAVE. Sorry to any ravers out there, but I don't
really like your music.
20.MOST HATED SONG:
2 Unlimited - No limit. There just isn't a tune in that song.
21.FAVOURITE TV:
Thats got to be 'The Bill', which is on U.K. Gold on satellite t.v. at 10
p.m. every monday to friday! Its that sort of program where no matter
what they do, its still exciting, even if all they are doing is just
talking, and walking around a bit, somehow its still really good!
22. WORST TV:
Coronation Street. I just can't see what all the fuss is about.
23. BEST FILMS:
Jurassic park. I thought it was really good, but I know a lot of people
thought it was boring. The special effects were probably the best i've
ever seen, and you've got to admit it haven't you, the effects were of a
kind that have never been seen before.
24. WORST FILMS:
That one with Madonna that just goes straight from the courtroom to the
bedroom and back to the courtroom. There wasn't any story to that, and
it was just an excuse for Madonna to 'get em out' on t.v!
(ed. You actually paid to watch that!!??!!)
25. BEST GRUB:
Tofu Pizza! Its the best! Have you ever tried it? It is the SPAR shop's
own make, and I think you can get it in any SPAR shop around the country.
26. WORST GRUB:
Oh, this has to be 'Lima bean ice cream', because its absolutely foul! Its
like drinking sewage (not that I've ever drunk sewage, but its what I
imagine sewage to be like!).
27. BEST DRINKS:
Pepsi. Don't you just love the buzz it gives you, first thing in the
morning? Loads of caffeine you see!
28. WORST DRINKS:
Coffee and Tea. Wow, these really are disgusting.
29. MOST ADMIRED PERSONS:
Jeff Minter,because he's a really good programmer, and D.I. Burnside from
'The Bill', simply because he knows what he wants and he gets it (well,
did, until he was killed off, anyway!).
30. MOST DISLIKED PERSONS:
John Major (I wonder how many other people will put this?).
(ed. 1 at least)
31.AMBITION IN LIFE:
To finish my college course, even though my college bag with all my work
in was nicked from my house, and to get a really great job in the
programming world.
NOW TELL US A FEW BREIF BITS AND BOBS ABOUT YOURSELF:
I program commercially for the Atari ST, and write programs for the
Powerfist Licenceware range. I have just starting coding a project called
'SCAFFY' with Ian Wilkinson, and we hope to have it finished sometime in
the new year.
I have just ordered a Falcon 030, and can't wait to see what it is like.
It should be good to program on anyway!
I am also putting the finishing touches to the Awesome Message scroller,
which is a message scroller program which has the option of displaying a
picture on screen, while the message floats past, and it can also play
any piece of chip music too, no matter was the music offset is.
CHEERS!:
No problem
ed:Thanks a lot for that Chris, much appreciated. As for the rest of you
sat out there reading this, if you want to see your details here, get
them in now.
