ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ-- ú ³ the orbIt newsletter for the june and july '95 packs ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ--ú hey, remember me? the atomic brain? well, i figure this time, since i AM a founder and a senior staff-er id take a turn at the news. you can thank mouse and veedIot! for all the great past newsletters, so i figured that i deserve a turn in the spotlight ;) Well, its 1:45am and im just sitting at my keyboard.. what was i going to tell you about again? Oh, yes, all the neat stuff thats been going these two months! well, i suppose it would be nice if i knew what most of it was, but here goes. - you asked for it, you got it.... toyota! - we started off May feeling the pinch of the school year winding down for most of us, leaving limited time to follow in our superior skills (err... well lets say 'improve' for most of us (me?!)). at about the 26 of may, we decided that since only 16 files (5 were the file seperators) that the idea of waiting and releasing this pack on the first of june would be a great idea.. Hey, rember, the packs should be qualIty, not quanity. (hey, were not the only ones ...) - hey, tiny, whos playing? uh.. jolly green giants, and shitty beatles.. shitty beatles? are they any good? no, they suck then its not just a clever name - june was pretty cool, school was getting out, and more and more free time was appearing (well.. after finals mostly), and has proved hopefully appealing to the viewers (uhh.. YOU?). - hey, thats a unIx book.. cool. - oh yea, i neglected to tell you that we have had a few new members this month, and are anicipating a viewer and a (maybe) working appgen.. who knows, maybe ill get offa my ass one of these days and make another cool loader (hey, fuck you if the fade in's didnt ALLWAYS work right, it looked kinda nice..).. you never know.. maybe ill do a nice one for polyphony.. anyways gettin' off the subject a bit 'eh? i dont know, for some reason all i can think of is areas of three dimensional cubes inscribed inside spheres which have a radius of 8 and the cube has a height (not slant) of 4.. damit, i allready finished honors gemoetry (thank god..).. -whats this lost thing? i dont get it!- hey, well, since you've read this far (right?), i might as well keep writing about some local stuff that has been happening.. art cafE has swtichecd numbers (kinda like the powergrId, but only its not back up ;(..) to 810-477-1474.. the sysop, legend, another orbIt member had neglected to notify everyone, including mouse, and all of the orbitnet boards. just suddenly swiched lines. ahh well, guess hes too much of a lazyass to tell people.. gee, sounds just like the members we would like to have more of in orbIt! - i will call no carrier today, i will call no carrier today, i will call no carrier today, i will kill ms. m.today!- some other stuff that id like to say, just for the hell of it is.. whats with these smaller groups (dont wanna mention any names.. well, actually, i do! the ones that rip from acId!, ice, etc., and the ones who pick a name just cuz it has a I in it so that they can lowercase to be 'K-RaD 3l33+ d0odZ'... i mean come on, what the hell kinda group is SPiT, or SHiT, or LaME, or, well, KiLL, ya know what i mean.. if you are gonna pick a name, look it up in the dictionary to see what kinda cool thing it is, instead of just saying hey, SHiT, shitty hypricits in turbulence... i mean, come on.) ok.. well, this newsletter isnt really long, and its not exactly the best, but hopefully, there will be more to come! hey jay, remember sitting upstairs, listening to orbit, playing 7th guest, hacking boards, me wanting lori (hey, had to make shure your paying attention), starting our own group, threatening to kick tgp's ass, before 3ds, pulling all-nighters, playing golf, visiting million dollar homes with rainforests in them, before that 3.9939272 gpa, those cool 190 line animated sigs, before krynn shut down, that killer attack dog, there was a time when the scene ment sompthing... benith the stains of time, feelings dissappear And with that, (and jays little legal disclamer), im tired, and i feel that ive gone over most of the stuff (uhh.. yea) this month that i care to tell you and care to remember.. join us nExt month for the cool release of another great pack.. (hey, maybe then ill get my 4meg vram video card? yea, right!) .tab. whut thahail? Hey all, mouse here with a few updates. Yeah, I know we skipped a month and released the pack july 1st instead of june 1st as planned, but we'd rather forget that may ever happened. It was a month filled with bad luck, false promises, busy schedules, burnt out seniors, and bad communication. The most devastating thing to me was NO CARRiER's protocol problem. It tends to piss you off if you're a sysop and your prots don't work for a month or so... ... but, now that's fixed and we can get back down to business. Another thing was that we just didn't have the time to crank out anything. I, personally, had 0 to add to the pack when june 1st approached.. so I said "fuck it.. we're delaying it a month"... and waited until finals were over and whatever. (I also found out that doodling ORBiT logos instead of British Literature notes fucked up my junior year 4.0.. oh well.. ) But now school's over and I got some more time to do some art and still tend to the BBS, while still balancing a life and work. Which reminds me.. I need a good job.. But anyway, we went through a bunch of changes this month. We decided to go with only one distro site in our home area code (810), being Twist of Fate. Polyphony is still a member board, just not a distro site. I realized that it just isn't the type of board that is suited to be a distro. Since Climax has left (along with Dark Elf, Dark Apprentice, Opium, and Damage), Internal Dwellingz will not be a distro of course. But anyway, we got ORBiTNET running (special thanks to Legend, sysop of Art Cafe) between NO CARRiER, Art Cafe, Twist of Fate, Cyber Skyline, and soon more of the distros and member boards. We incorperated the file network into it also so we might be able to even eliminate couriers if we can get all the boards hooked up into the network. We are also working on setting up a World Wide Web home page or whatever... but that's still probably at least a month away. Anyway, I kinda drifted away a bit... but joining ORBiT we have Unknown, who was in a prominent position in a big group a few years ago under a different handle, but took a breather and is now back; Silent Cry, who is an excellent ansi artist, but recently has been programming the viewer instead of ansi and vga; Masked One, another coder who I believe is working with Silent Cry on the viewer; Scull Crusher, yet ANOTHER coder who will make a nice addition to the group; and we might be adding DiGi-NiNjA, another 3D style artist. Anyway, I think this pack is gonna be a good one, despite the lack of ansi art. That's all I have, I think.. :) I'm out............m.o..u...s....e okay... you probably have heard this from all the other dudes, and since i'm always last alphebetically, then you're probably reading this last. so I really don't need to tell you may sucked. okay, so it didn't suck in real life. actually. it kicked ass. well, for me it did. But in orbit, may was another story... needless to say, nobody seemed to care about doing work... not even me. i was almost never home during may, so i didn't have much time to sit down and draw. i really didn't have the patience or inspiration either. i got kinda bummed out about the scene too... twice i think. i was ready to quitit all. it was really pissing me off... almost lowered my gpa too, but i broughtit back up in the last month... well anyways, may was a hard month for all of us. i think we all had to deal with finals, except maybe one or two people, and we all had to deal with end-of-the-year-oh-shit-i-dont-have-anything-done blues.well... that sucked. and so, we decided, hmm... since there's only 11 things forthe pak, maybe we should wait... but now its summer time. i have a little more time. but i have no inspiration whatsoever. and now. i'm bored. so i'm gonna go out driving. -vd!
