(_/hat's right folks, time once again to get your XapShots
and digitizers out and create a photo of yourself to be
distributed throughout the known universe!
The idea behind the Amiga <Echo> Disk is this: we have here
a community of words and phrases formed by personalities
that we have no way of attaching to an actual face. The Amiga
Echo Disk is a collection of such 'photos' in IFF format,
viewable on any Amiga throughout the land. This gives you
a good idea of who you're "talking" to.
The first set of EchoDisks contained a pic of Asha in
her infamous bustier, Yours Truly redeaux in one fairly tame
and one fairly bizarre interpretation, Orin amidst his
creations, people posing with thier computers, people walking
past the camera, and other more creative pics. Along with
each pic were text-format bios of the person (self-authored)
and some even had extra pics or sound samples (Jeff
Johansen's Workbench, for instance -- out-a-sight!). The
disks were distributed as a set and driven by a CanDo deck,
usable on any Amiga.
Now, almost a year after release, we are once again
gathering together pics, sounds, and sights related to the
people that form this, the AMIGA echo!
WHAT TO DO
Easy! Send your pics to myself or to Orin Palmer (criteria
to follow along with addresses)
HOW TO DO IT
Preferably, pics should be in IFF format, HAM included. If
you don't have a digitizer handy, a snapshot will do --
we can digitize and return these pics. IFF-24's
and other high-res/high-color pic formats are acceptable,
but will be reduced down to HAM.
WHAT TO PUT IN IT
Hey, it can be a simple pic of yourself at the family picnic,
or you can get way out gonzo creative! I've seen some
excellent pics that were done with the original subject and
then enhanced in some way. Put yourself in an Imaginary
scene, in the middle of your workbench, or your face on
Arnold Schwarzenegger's body -- just have fun!
Additionally, sound samples of your voice, favorite sound
byte, or whatever can be integrated into the disk.
Along with all this, please include a self-written bio
or introduction to yourself. It doesn't have to be
long, nor flashy, nor witty, just write what you feel like
writing.
WHO SHOULD SEND IT IN
If you're reading this, you're in! Just because you're not
a regular doesn't mean you don't count!
Also, just because you were on the first disk collection
doesn't mean you aren't welcome the second time around! Time
has passed! People change!
WHERE TO SEND IT
IFF's and HAM pics should be sent to myself, either as a
file attach to me at 1:202/739, or via Snail Mail to:
Jeff Grimmett
3152 Kemper St #5
San Diego, CA 92110
24-bitters, XapShot disks, video tapes, flat pics should be
sent to Orin Palmer either as a file attach to 1:202/739.10 or
via US Snail to:
Orin Palmer
540 Naples St. #28
Chula Vista, CA 91911
Suggestions for the Amiga Echo Disk are appreciated, as well
as questions on unclear parts of the "official" AmigaEchDisk
blurb (what you're reading).
