Europe trip

November 18, 2008

Today is my last working day and since tomorrow I’ll go on vacation. That’s good. That’s what I need right now.

What we gonna do? The answer is simple - enjoy our small trip across the several Europe countries. Initially we wanted to spend this vacation somewhere in more warmer climate, but we’ve changed our mind. So, the long-postponed trip will include following countries: Belarus, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, France. Not bad for me taking into account that I’ve never been in Europe before.

I’m not going to write any reports neither in Russian or English language, but I take my photo-camera so everyone will be given a chance to see some pictures.

My laptop is not deserve to be taken in our trip so I won’t post during the trip. But if I can I’ll make some notes to my twitter (the updates are now protected so you need to send me request and I’ll add you to my followers list).

The last week I spent working on my VocRecaptor project and did some improvements, but I’m afraid I don’t have enougth time to release this version. Anyway, who cares ;-)

Cheers!

How are things

November 3, 2008

After I bought my new photo camera my activity here decreased hugely. Maybe this is not the only reason. Maybe it’s an increasing workload, maybe it’s a tiredness, maybe it’s a shortage of daylights or something else. I almost don’t read books on personal development, I still postpone my certification, I listen less technical podcasts than before. My VocRecaptor project is frozen and I don’t have any aspiration to continue its development. At the same time I write more in my russian livejournal blog, I upload more photos to my flickr. And more, I feel more relaxed and even forged how to be overwhelmed with a big pile of half-completed tasks and be in a rush. Anyway, I think this period of inactivity will end after my vacation I’m going (and I really hope) to go this month. So stay tuned.

Extreme events

October 1, 2008

This Sunday I visited an extreme championship in our city. Past years I’ve always visited such events because it was orginized by our extreme web-site extreme.vsaratove.ru and where I’m still an administrator of board forums and because I really like take photos on this competetions, expecially make pictures of skaters. This Sunday I tested my new photo-camera (I bought Canon 450D for start). All pictures are available at my photo-gallery. It’s also possible to see pictures from past competetions and other events. Enjoy.

Headphones

August 1, 2008

Damn. It seems like my iPod headphones passed away after 2 years. I need to find somewhere a new one. I have KOSS KSC55 - the sound is great but sitting highlty uncomfortable on my head. I feel the pane just after 40 minutes of using it. In my case the quality of sound isn’t important ‘cause I listen podcasts mostly. So another iPod headphones is the right solution for me.

Investigate your device closely

July 26, 2008

Damn! I haven’t noticed this slot for CF memory card since I bought my pocket pc. It’s more than 2 years! But now I have a 8 Gb card instead of 4 Gb I was going to buy in a couple of days.

Saturday at work

July 26, 2008

Today I’m at work due to some reasons. I really like this atmosphere of silence.

Rain

July 26, 2008

The rain we had a couple of days ago. That was great

Soccer again

June 22, 2008

They did it. It was an interesting game. The bad thing is the we didn’t had an electricity since 5th minutes and till 62nd minutes. Therefore I didn’t see the first goal. Unfortunately, for me Russia is not such victories like Eurovision and soccer, but such things like electricity cut off and attitude towards people and between them.
