A vacation.
On this Sunday I'm going to fly to the vacation with Galya.
First, we are going to Java, where we'll be involved in the search of Ruby.
Besides, I hope we won't meet a python there )

Flickr's special offer
Since last 3 years I'm a user of Flickr. There are even some pictures of mine uploaded.
Today I have received this letter:
Hi robocomp2,
You've hit a limit of of your free Flickr account. You have
243 photos but you're only seeing the last 200!
Perhaps you'd like to purchase a Flickr pro account? Its
unlimited and you get video and stats too!
You'll even get 3 months free for purchasing before 30
September 2008!
I can't even imagine, how good they are! A limit of 200 pictures! So cute.
One has to pay, to upload new pictures (and make them visibile) above the limit.
Thanks, but no, thanks - I would rather continue using PicasaWeb instead. It's a little bit more free

A bike trip
Everyone has to ride a bicycle, that's for sure!
Summer in Moscow is quite specific, you never know whether it's still summer, or may be autumn already. But it doesn't mean that Moscowites have to spend all their weekends in the city's concrete jungle )
We like going outside, to dachas, or just somewhere in the meadows with a tent and tons of BBQ meat.
Same it was on the last holidays, when we with a group of my friends decided to go out for some sort of a men-only party, with tents and fishing and staff to make out some vegetables out of people.
Despite the weather forecast, which predicted rain and wind no sun at all for the nearest city of Serpukhov, it was decided to depart no matter what. Our gang was well equipped with special clothes and tents and over magical staff to make the rain go away. A friend of mine an me - we had decided to go by bikes. It's amazing, really, to ride a bicycle after a long week of hardworking.
The destination point is located not far from Serpukhov, it's about 110 km. Only a mad cyclist can set on such a trip on a Friday evening, waiting for a rain.
So, we used some sort of a local train. It was heavily crowded, no place to sit, or even to stand. Unavoidable participation in several small fights for a room for us and our bikes took place. Raged passengers wanted to throw us away from the train.
After leaving the train we had to travel. There was no rain! It was cold, but dry, and lots of stars were glittering in a complete darkness of small and awfully destroyed road along the bank of Oka river.
As for me, I was afraid to miss the right turn from our 'highway' to a country road. It's quite hard to identify the correct track in a darkness, is it?
But our friends, who managed to get to the place by car faster, than we, helped us occasionally not to miss the thing!
The whole weekend was warm, sunny and without rain at all!
I suppose, that sometimes when you do something despite the forecasts, and when you want something to be as you want it to be, it shapes itself into a right form, as you want it.
May be it's the universal rule of universal generosity? I'll keep watching )
