Why bother, Amazon?!
Two days ago I, as many out there, received an email from Amazon with an offer inside to make a pre-order for upcoming Snow Leopard. Gee whiz, I’d love to do that, thank you Amazon! But… Hey… Stop… I live in a country you don’t ship CDs/DVDs to. With a faint hope they’d changed something […]
Vyazemy on Sunday
It has become a good tradition to visit a new place on Saturday/Sunday and the last weekend wasn’t an exception from this pleasant rule. Instead of driving for hours this time we went to a place that was just around the corner – country estate Vyazemy. I’m not going to retell the history of this […]
Few photos from Nizhniy Novgorod
Finally I had a chance to sit behind my laptop to upload several photos I took during a short trip to Nizhniy Novgorod.
Volokolamsk and Yaropolets
Just a few photos from the exciting trip we did last saturday to Vlokolamsk and Yaropolets. I always loved old, small but very magnetic places like these two where you could just forget about bustling life’s current we’re going with rapidly into nowhere.
Away for 3 days
I’m preparing for a short, at least I do very hope it will be a short one, 3-days trip to Nizhniy Novgorod to perform SL500 library maintenance. More precisely, I’ll be replacing RLE card but since SL500 is extremely naughty you could never know what another funny thing does it keep in its sleeve. Wish […]
A generous road policeman
As far as I know it’s a common practice amongst the drivers all over the globe to warn each other by blinking with upper-beam whenever there is a road-police on an ambush ahead. In my country it looks quite ugly and ridiculous at the same time to watch them lurking in the bushes, behind the […]
Faint sound from SA
Recently I’ve received few ppictures of myself and my classmates from Sun Microsystems TDC training in South Africa. That was truly awesome two months experience I mentally replay in my head over and over again, not only because it was a great opportunity to visit SA and to meet new faces, but, to a greater […]
Short weekend trip
Trying to break a monotonous weekend we decided to make a short trip near Moscow and set off to Vereya. Though the place was quite nice but contrary to our expectations, massively based on my friend’s impressions, it wasn’t exactly what we expected to see. The town has radiant and old history but unfortunately very […]
That was quick!
Five minutes ago I received a parcel from Amazon with two books I ordered on Monday. It took only two days to have it delivered from the USA to Russia (Moscow) – I’m deeply impressed! Unfortunately there is always a fly in the ointment. Amazon’s service worked brilliantly but our local DHL didn’t even bother […]

Choosing a VPS hosting
And so, since the rate of problems and issues of all kinds has slowed down and I could now breathe with relief, I’d like to share my story of picking out a VPS hosting. Please, don’t get me wrong and don’t treat this post as another commercial – it’s not. As soon as the idea […]
