I've got too much work now to be writing about it, so I'll just tell you that I've had a perfect vacation this August.
I went to Urals. Those are very old (possibly the oldest on Earth) mountains in the middle of Russia. Those separating Europe from Asia, right. Been old, they aren't so high, most of them are below 1000 meters. I've been to south part of Urals and visited the highest peak around, The Big Shatak, which is 1271 meters high.
Oh, yeah. It was horse-back tour. I've never ridden horse before, so it was funny. For those looking at me.
For people like me there's a special place in hell. With Wi-Fi and hookers.
Note to self: stop using alphas!
This shit costed me a lot of neurons and hell of a time. I though I went crazy ot supid at some point.
I even googled for 'netmask calculator' after I calculated it in head and then on a piece of paper.
Both ip addr and ifconfig output wrong broadcast address.

...my vacuum-cleaner sucks?
Alex is my cat. No, we have diffrent names, he's Alexander. He is eleven now, but we still fight when we're in a mood for that, and he still can wake up everybody in the middle of the night if he thinks his bow is half-empty. We're both pretty pessimistic.
Also, he snores.
Recently a friend of mine came over for a day to see me, drink a couple beers and walk a few miles in the darkest places in Nizhni Novgorod she haven't seen yet. It was cool. Both of us forgotten camera, though.
Have you ever seen a bridge construction site from underneath?
The pictures suck, alright. We've forgotten our cameras, so it's just cellphone. There's more cool places there, and we're planning to repeat the trip with a decent camera and sober.
It's been a damn long winter: it really was long and it felt even longer. I literally slept through it, going to work, returning home, watching tv series, working some “side projects”, drinking and actually sleeping; but now I'm finally awake.
It feels surprisingly good. Hi, everybody! Stay tuned.
