When you have two minutes to write a post, you puke words.
Your imagination is limited, your creativity is drained, you simply throwing away some thoughts into keyboard, doesn’t even reread it.
“Sorry for a long letter, I don’t have time to write a short one.” I already don’t remember who has said it. This time i have tried to write something meaningfully, while my wife was in shower.
Two minutes is over. Where are meanings?

After 1.5 year withot breaks in Germany, some things in Russia, that I have used to and I thought previously, that it is how is supposed to be,.. well, this things perplexing me.
For example, I have seen a lot of cars with inscriptions "Victory" and "thanks grandpa for winning". Even one sticker, where Stalin literally kicks Hitler's ass. It's very good, that people are patriots and remembered history of their country, but most of these cars where bmw and rusty mercedes.
Russians are people, who making good stuff with grumpy faces.
Half of the people, that I have seen on streets, were scared, another half were insolent.

Being a parent mean, that you will face with a lot of problems, complications and fears. Probably, most frustrating and disappointing part is that you cannot control your time. You cant plan: ok, I will sleep 6 hours, than spend 10 hours on work, 2 hours on commute, 4 hours with my child and I will still have couple hours for myself. No, you will still spend time on work and commute, because you still have to bring money at home, but no one would say to you, will you have free time or you will don’t have time even to sleep.
All your schedule is obey by cute small dictator, that screams on you, if he want to sleep, he want to eat, he has pain or just in bad mood.
You cannot predict, that you will have even 15 minutes each day to plan something and slowly, but inevitably finish something. Sometimes you hope to complete small task in one evening, but day by day you miss opportunity even to open laptop. Another day suddenly you have couple hours to yourself and you don’t know what to do with unexpected time.
I know, one day I will look around and realize, that things have been settled down I got used to this new life and new role. Right now, 10 months since birth of my son, I cant say that. Despite this and endless tiredness, this truly is the happiest time in my life.

Just found another cool thing in mac:
on localhost:631 hangs CUPS, printer server, that is used to send documents to print via lan. On web page there is just small page with description, documentation (for users, admins and devs), as well as list of previous jobs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t store original printed files (which was the reason ,that I originally looked for), but it still was a little unexpected.
Next thing I will look for all open ports and see, what they are really conceal."

I'm doing small experiment right now. I have heard so many things about iPad as a primary device and about recently released 10.5 iPad pro, so I decided to check, is it possible for me to use it instead of mac. I was full of thoughts, that it would be problem to write code, there is no good IDE on iOS, next iOS version is not supported on my ancient iPad 4, no proper bash terminal, etc.
Problem number one, that killed everything: it is completely impossible to type on laps. I have connected by bluetooth my magic keyboard (with is great), and put it on my knees, but I have no idea, where should iPad go. Right now it's bended between legs and it is simply dumb.
However, iPad experience with keyboard is much better. I have strange feeling, that it really can be more than a youtube device. Of course, there are another questions, like, can I use terminal inside new Files app (or just in iCloud files), what is best app to write code for different languages, and many more, but first and foremost - is there any hard case, that can bind keyboard and iPad itself together. I use MacBook in dock or on laps, and now iPad cannot replace both this use cases.
P.S. new iPad screen with 120Hz refresh rate is awesome! At least, for me, I always prefer 1080p60 over 4k30. p.s.s Put away iPad and took MacBook again. Such pleasure.
