Today I found the model of my first PC, Philips P3102. That was some 30 years ago. Back then we used floppy disks, Lexicon, Slovo&Delo, Chi-Writer, Norton Commander, Volkov Commander, and DOS Navigator, ARJ archiver, CP1250 and CP866 encodings. I was working at a bank at the time, where everything was managed by Novell, and we used antiviruses like Aidstest by D. N. Lozinsky, Dr.Web, and ADinf. As far as databases go, I remember Clipper being popular. From programming languages, I used Turbo Pascal 4.0 and Borland C++ Builder. And there was Watcom C as well. But, when you think about it, there was so much local software—developed in Russia. Then, everything was overturned, Windows NT came, then XP. But that was only 25 years ago. I wonder if there will be such a dramatic change in another 25 years?

In the art museum in Washington, there is a separate section at the entrance that calibrates taste. Here’s the thing. On paper. With colored pencils. The authors are – Henri Speller (first) and Georgia Speller (the other two). Henri drew these brown women at 85 years old, and Georgia at 56 (and died at 57). And everything about them is like this. Everything.

Sitting with my daughter, playing chess, her music is blaring from the phone, and suddenly my watch shows this. Well, how should I interpret this. Guess I’ll go put them on charge or something

Yuki has a very interesting “program” at work. After eating, especially a hearty meal, he always activates the “let’s play” mode. It can turn on at other times too, but randomly, while after eating—it’s always. It looks like this: he brings a toy and sits down, looking at it. After about five seconds, he loudly tosses it and then sits again, obviously waiting for someone to pick it up and throw it to the far corner.
