I receive messages on my computer from Facebook, Skype, Skype4Business, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, Slack, LinkedIn, via SMS, and through two emails, and soon I will also receive messages from Muttermost. There are a few people who only message me via Google Handsout. Many still use Whatsapp, Viber, and VKontakte. And when you need to find something – it turns out to be quite fun. An aggregator would be the obvious solution, but unfortunately, that will never happen.

A particular joy is when you have both a work Microsoft Teams and a client Microsoft Teams, and you need to keep track of both. Microsoft Teams doesn’t support running two accounts simultaneously, only switching between them is possible. Eventually, I found a way – one was running in the browser (web client) and turned into an app in the tray. Overall not bad, but the solution is a bit clumsy, and it didn’t come to me immediately)

Tested out the new bike. 25 km done, another 25 to go back. Feels like upgrading from an old model to an Audi. The fact that I managed an hour with all the traffic lights and didn’t even feel tired – that’s a notable point for me.)

Yesterday at Hooters, after wings and Guinness, the waitress inexplicably asked if I wanted dessert. I said yes. No cappuccino? Then just a regular coffee with milk, please. They brought dessert with milk. Waiting for the coffee. Ten minutes later I ask why – they don’t have coffee at all. What the hell then was the dessert and milk for? She shrugged and took it away.

Reached NGINX. Good luck to Igor, lawsuit for 51 million rubles.

Just think – which Russian software products lead globally in their segment? Kaspersky – remember the scandal with the USA. Who else? Telegram? Abbyy and Acronis? Both seem to be still afloat, doing relatively well, and they “don’t shine too brightly”. In this list, for me, there has always been NGINX and Igor behind it (not Rambler).

Today, I decided to check out what looked like an interesting event based on the advertisement, https://aeronautsjourney.com. My friend and I spent about 45 minutes looking for it in the park. Along the way, we met a family who was also searching, a guy with a dog who insisted that there was definitely nothing like that in the park, and another guy who remembered that a tent had been taken down in the morning and showed us where.

We found it. Look at the photo on the right. I haven’t seen such a sad sight in a long time. And such a contrast to the advertising! The nearby botanical garden was our savior, which they decided to decorate with lights to charge for entrance tickets till late at night. Great idea and execution.

Here’s a video from there

Hm. Not robots. I thought hotels only communicated with me between trips to sell something

Facebook has been advertising a calendar with pooping dogs to me all morning. I am amazed by people who can come up with such things

Some pictures from Georgia Aquarium. Some creatures sometimes look like something out of space 🙂

Do Not Press Button

Right now, the Miss Universe ceremony is taking place here in Atlanta, and Russia is not participating this year. “the girl simply won’t have time to get an American visa and prepare for Miss Universe”. It’s crazy, they actually prepare for it
