What is happening in IR/G?

Now talking Rajaat [IR/G]...
Preface
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
It has now been half a year ago when our magazine got out, and since then
you haven't heard much from us anymore... Why? I hope to cover some of the
things that happened in IR/G and what the current status is (as far as I
know, that is).
Sepultura's departure
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Shortly after the release of IR#8 Sepultura, our main organizer and back-
bone of IR/G decided to leave the scene altogether. I do miss his programm-
ing skills that I don't have. Although I don't blame him, his departure was
in my eyes the beginning of the end of IR/G as I know it. I hereby want to
thank him for all the things he has done for me and for IR/G.
No backbone
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
With the departure of Sepultura we also lost our talent to organise. With-
out this backbone, we weren't able to bring out any magazine after IR#8. We
tried to find another person in our group with the ability and will to or-
ganise, yet we couldn't find/trick someone into taking that task upon him.
Without any organisation, a group cannot be in my view.
Hate to code
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Not being motivated very much, I found myself unable to program very much.
My time being consumed by college I had a little time to research virus-re-
lated issues. All I could do is think of nice tricks, program them and com-
ment them a bit, but I could not find the heart to make a total virus for
it. This left me with a huge pack of tricks, which I haven't used in viru-
ses yet. Eventually I hope I can find the motivation and time to put all
these tricks together in one big virus, which will probably be my last vi-
rus I will make. This is not caused by a lack of interest, and of course I
will stay in the scene trying to think of new tricks and innovate ideas.
Prologue
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Due to the circumstances and the overall quality of the viruses produced by
IR/G I think it suits me and them best that I leave the group and continue
the path of virus writing on myself, contributing things to various groups.
I hope that the other people in IR/G won't be mad about my decision to lea-
ve them. I wish them all the best, and hereby my promise that this is not
the last time they will hear from me.
Thanks
ÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Given the opportunity here I would like to thank quite a few people who ha-
ve supported me in the past and hopefully will stay to do so in the future.
The Unforgiven, for his many email conversations, excellent ideas on human
nature and beliefs, and, most importantly his friendship during the time. I
hope I will be able to meet you sometime. Rogue, for showing his excellent
code examples, although I've never witnessed any program of him finished in
the wild, save for one. Most probably a badass to other but a friend to me.
Mister Sandman, to whom I gave this article in order to publish it in their
second magazine (they beat us *grin*). Sepultura, for his organising skills
and trying to keep the whole lot together. I could thank a lot more people,
but I think that I must keep it short, because nobody is interested in it
save for the people who are actually thanked.
And now talking Rajaat / 29A...
Last update
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
It sure looks like that when I write some article, it always seems to get
outdated when magazines don't get released as quickly as anticipated (sorry
folks, couldn't resist joking about it). But since the time I wrote the up-
per a few things happened. You probably have read now somewhere in this ma-
gazine that I've become a member of 29A! My hate to code went away but that
doesn't mean I've plenty of times to code, but I'll do my best and see what
I can have in store for you.
What the hell am I up to?
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
To be honest, I don't know. I have here about 5 unfinished programming pro-
jects I should finish soon, and I hope I will have the time at my disposal
for finishing them. Anyway, I'm proud to be a 29Aer and I hope I can keep
up the group's high standard of virus coding.
And how about Immortal Riot?
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
I wish I knew, I think the best thing my friend The Unforgiven and his com-
rades can do is split from Genesis again (in my eyes it's history) and go
on their own again, should they feel like coding again. I hope that you,
the reader, will once again witness the excellent magazines of our "hjltar
i snn" (heroes in the snow).
