once again evoke is taking place. the friendly demoparty with ansi roots will happen
in cologne on 27-29 august, and of course, as every year, it will feature an
ansi/ascii compo. in case you might not be able to make it to the party (eventhough we
would very much recommend it), we strongly encourage you to submit a remote entry.
your piece of work will be shown infront of a real audience (plus over webstream), and
there will be real prizes. 

maximum size of your entry may be 80 * 1000. it will be shown with acid view 6.0
viewer in 80*25 and in vga-mode, while acid view's built-in topaz font will be used
for displaying amiga style asciis. ansimations will not be allowed. if there are
enough entries, we will split the compo into pc ansi/ascii and amiga ascii.

we will be very happy if you'd send your work to pandur (tom (at) drastic.net) or to
dipswitch (dipswitch (at) kaoz.org) until the 25th of august. evoke textmode art
compos have always been something special. please help us to make them even more
special!

While i was updating some critical code yesterday, my keyboard broke down, and thus viewing collys didn't work anymore... *Booh!*
I got myself a cheap ass stinky keyboard today, and the problem is fixed.
You can now view your uploads again.
