black kerchief

August 22, 2017

Woman with black kerchief, tied around her head. You can see only eyes on her face. She is walking down the street and rolling wheelchair ahead with Arabian man, who look absently on buildings around.

Whoever accomplishing terroristic attacks on last decades, they hit their goal. I'm scared, when I saw that woman. I instantly recall news and imagined, what would be in the news this evening. I remembered ending of "mr. Mercedes", where bomb was concealed in wheelchair.

I want to treat every nationality, gender and religion equally, but this is the world we are living. We can either force all people another nationalities off the streets or find a way to stop being scared of them. And first approach will not solve this problem in long perspective, because our planet is not infinite and becoming smaller each day."

2 minutes

August 12, 2017

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?

rus thoughts, unfinished

August 2, 2017

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.

Parenthood so far

July 7, 2017

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.

CUPS

June 26, 2017

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."
