I had visited San Francisco!

without comments

Guys, that was awesome! The distance which I flew last 3 weeks is about 1/10 of distance to Moon. 7 flights, more than 30 000 km.. I came at home yesterday morning (that was Wednesday in Ufa), but began my flight from San Francisco on Sunday. I had skipped the whole Monday! But that is the end of the story.. I still have a jetlag and will write a post about my trip a bit later when I will understand what’s happened and where am I. Just few words about San Francisco and WWDC – that was fantastic! =)

I am publishing a couple of pictures from trip, later I will make several panoramas, choose the best pictures and will publish them here also. See you later!

Microsoft’s Day Trick

without comments

Microsoft buys Skype exact at that date when Google is busy with I/O. Everyone currently watching news from this conference and this action from Microsoft looks like hidden trick. Would be interested to see what’s happened with Skype especially for Mac OS X and iOS devices. Hopes they will leave an old logo =)

My artefacts – F-19 Stealth Fighter

without comments

Do you remember when and why did you get the idea to learn your first programming language? There were several important things which had changed my life, my mind and my view. I’d like to tell you about some of them. May be it could be strange but thoughts about some old games haunt me very often (may be each week, or may be even each day). I’d like to introduce you F-19 Stealth Fighter (1988) by MicroProse and soon I will write about Quest for Glory I – So You Want To Be A Hero (1992) by Sierra Entertainment.

Recommended book: Refactor Your Wetware

without comments

I’d like to tell you about the book which I highly recommend for any person who worked in IT and interested about his mind. I have read this book twice last year and I think that I will read it again soon because each time when I read it I understand something new and get new ideas about myself.
So the book is Pragmatic Thinking And Learning: Refactor Your Wetware by Andy Hunt. It’s about how our brain works and how we can improve it.

Reborn

without comments

Hi, guys! Believe it or not, but I decided to open this blog again. I have found database backup of my previous blog which was closed for more than a year ago and put it back. Sometimes I have some ideas and it could be useful to put them somewhere for someone. So this place is not so bad for that. I have some ideas about GTD articles and I have some good news for you, so I hope that I will write something interesting here soon.

Before that I will clean a bit my previous articles, I have removed some of them already and I think that I should fix the rest of them, because there are a lot of English grammar mistakes there. From time to time I try to improve my English and when I look at something what I have written before sometimes I feel ashamed of them =) So may be one day later I will update this post also and fix some mistakes here =)

I think that it is really useful to write because while you writing you are thinking and organizing your thoughts. So this blog is not only for you but it is also for me and I will use you for my own aim ;)
