Site Updates
Re: Site Updates
I noticed that the last update misses stuff I uploaded by recently added upload facility.
Will it be added in the future or do I need to upload it again, maybe in the old way?

Re: Site Updates
The last update was partial. The next one may be a bit lean too.
No need to upload again. It's there, and we'll get around to it. This month is going to need more patience than normal

Re: Site Updates
I'm traveling, R-Tape is busy with WOOT, and we have just released ZX-Ed (our new internal update system) so we will need a little time to adapt to the new process. It will probably take about a month or so until we can get everything sorted out. We expect everything to be much more efficient afterwards.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Re: Site Updates
No problem for me. The key is all this is moving (READ: often updates, new stuff, improving the site, etc).Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 6:57 am I'm traveling, R-Tape is busy with WOOT, and we have just released ZX-Ed (our new internal update system) so we will need a little time to adapt to the new process.

No matter how fast or how often, but it's moving.

Re: Site Updates
The trick is, whenever I find out there will be a holiday somewhere in the world, I find an excuse to be there!

Re: Site Updates
Hi PeterJ;
There is a small mistake in this update. I love Spain and I love my Spanish neighbors but I'm Portuguese and I live in Portugal
So, where it is:
Penisoft (Spain)
madaxe (Spain)
José Mário Machado (Spain)
Should be:
Penisoft (Portugal)
madaxe (Portugal)
José Mário Machado (Portugal)
Hope you correct it soon .
Best Regards,
José Mário Machado a.k.a. MadAxe
Penisoft
Portugal

Re: Site Updates
This is weird, I can't find any trace of you in the SC search, and I thought I didn't add you properly yet! Can you link to where you found this information?

Re: Site Updates
Thanks for the update!
One note: this Bandersnatch barcode program better would be classified as "demo", not "simulation"

Re: Site Updates
I deliberated between the two genres, and opted for simulation because it was a pretend representation (like the teletext simulator). But since you mention Ralf, demo does feel more correct today. Demo then? Anyone disagree?

Re: Site Updates
I think is 'unclassifiable', as it's not a demo nor a simulation, IMHO. I see as just a 'link' to a web page... is there anything similar in the archive? Hard to be classified, anyway.
... does 'easter egg' exist as a genre?
Re: Site Updates
This is not a typical demo but has many elements of a demo - displays in ono-interactive way some visuals with some effects mimicking an old TV.
I remember something similar done in the 80s - some very simple program displaying some text hidden between music on a vinyl record. I'll try to find it later today.
It has been also added as a demo to the biggest Russian site with Spectrum demos so they also believe it's a demo
I'll try to give some more info later.

Re: Site Updates
For what it's worth I think a new genre for 'Easter Egg' as mentioned by [mention]Juan F. Ramirez[/mention] would be appropriate.
An 'Easter Egg' is how it's described in the listing.
I'm not going to loose a lot of sleep over it though!

Re: Site Updates
Makes sense, but how many other 'Easter Egg' programs exist?
I think we better avoid creating new genres if there's only 1 or 2 programs each. Otherwise we may end up with thousands of genres. Then it would become too hard to find anything by genre...
