A night, a street, a lamp, a drugstore

A meaningless and dismal light

A quarter century outpours —

It’s all the same. No chance to flight.

You’d die and rise anew, begotten.

All would repeat as ever might:

The street, the icy rippled water,

The store, the lamp, the lonely night.

//Blok //4 Alisa A Hale

Visited my first place of work, the company “Bazis” (http://bazissoft.ru). In the photo – my first teachers, Nikolay Kaskevich and Pavel Bunakov, how happy I am to see them again after 24 years! Back in the 10th and 11th grades, I was “coding” something here in Turbo Pascal 5.5, if I remember correctly, it was at least the “Bazis” installer from 5.25″ floppy disks. At that time, the “Bazis” Scientific Production Association was making software for the machine industry, similar to AutoCAD, but now they are leaders in the field of automation of design and furniture production.
