Today we added biographies for old members Bismarck and Rave! We are on an never-ending mission to add bios to all past members, so always stay on the lookout for updates!

King Fisher, iopop, Taper, Itch and Bepp from TRIAD showed up at the latest edition of Gubbdata, having a good time with the rest of the south-Swedish sceners. Other groups represented here were G*P, Onslaught, Wrath Designs, FairLight and HT.

We secured the first place in the demo compo with Chicanery, our latest one-filer demo put together by our northern section: Houbba, Ruk, Tao and Twoflower, teaming up with Itch, Dalezy and Ne7.

In the music compo, Ne7 came in on third place with Kickback and Dalezy close behind on fourth place with Super short shooter.

Correction: The tune in the end part of Chicanery turned out to be by EVS and not Mitch. Sorry for mixing that up!

We celebrate yet another joyful occasion as Icon and Abaddon have decided to join up with the rest of us in TRIAD! Welcome onboard lads, we’re really glad to have you in our ranks! Their biographies are allready added to the memberlist!

Today we’ve added/updated a bunch of profiles for our past members. This batch includes: Mr. Pinge, Johan, Crusader and Sparrow, Skyie and Cozmo. See the All-time memberlist for the complete list of heroes!

This weekend our forces in the freezing north of Sweden – Houbba, Twoflower (welcome back to Sweden!) and Ruk – had a little retro evening at Houbba’s place. Despite the fact that Houbba’s equip had been stashed away since the early 90′s, it proved to be working perfectly allright when all cables were connected. Commodore – Dealer Quality Hardware!

Many hours later and a bunch of rare findings in the lost disk boxes (!), the evening came to a sudden end when a slightly over-excited Twoflower broke Houbba’s Speedking joystick while demoing Prince of Persia =)

All in all it was a very nice evening with, what may well be, the three most northern sceners in the world!!? We’re already looking forward to seeing the first release from this “power trio”!

During the last couple of years, the swedish parliament have approved several new laws and treaties regarding copyright issues and surveilance of the general public. On the 21:st of March, the parliament approved yet another law originating from the EU, the data retention directive. According to this law, telecommunication data from all swedish citizens will be automatically stored. Read more about the directive here.

From now on, all swedish citizens will apparently be regarded as potential criminals. Needless to say, the reaction to this law, aswell as previous laws and treaties such as FRA and ACTA, have sparked protests. Last Saturday, a small protest rally was held in Helsingborg, gathering about 40 people. TRIAD was represented by Taper, who got some help by a computer enthusiast from the younger generation to hold the classic flag.

After a detour of half a year, Itch is back home onboard the mummyship again, on the fourth of march. We’re delighted to have him with us again, so a very warm welcome back!
