Hi, I'm Rauf Aliev.

Played at a friend’s place today, we recorded it

A very interesting sculptor.

He linked women with dandelions in a Staffordshire park.

In grade 3, they cover English words like jackaroo (which, amusingly, is translated as “shepherd”)

(to be fair, the overall level of English at the HSG is very strong)

I noticed the information board in the entrance hall. It seems like time has stopped here for a year and a half. By the way, the other announcements around this one have been torn off)

Masha is doing her school homework “tears glistened in her eyes”. How would you write it and why?

On the radio, some guy was talking for an entire hour about how wonderful it is to work in defense, and the new repair, and developers earn up to 150K, after which he concluded his speech by saying that their workday in Moscow starts at seven in the morning.

I now have Russian TV in front of the treadmill, and here’s what I’ll tell you – it’s interesting to watch, if muted.. Right now, there’s some Russian action series on, listening to Eddie Boyd’s “Five Long Years”

Beautiful performance of Gershwin’s Summertime (Eiran KATZENELLENBOGEN)

Great selection. Probably the most useful of these – Posemaniacs

Reading an essay about BM, there’s a mention of a 10-15% conversion rate, which these “Entrepreneurs” argued about. But back in the early 2000s, I had an e-commerce “business” with a conversion rate of 10-13%. It was real.

We sold the internet on CD-ROM with delivery. We negotiated with website owners who had rich, often original, content to place a “Buy this site on CD” button on all their pages, created discs with downloaded pages from the content, equipped them with a search feature, and shared the profits from each disk sold. The link from the partner’s site led to a product card with related items, so many orders were for 2-3 discs. Some of the discs were live CDs with free operating systems. Payment was mostly cash on delivery. That was also when I first registered as a sole proprietor.

It was called NaDiske.Ru.

About 100-200 people visited our site from a dozen partners, and of those visitors, 10-20 would purchase discs.

We closed down because progress meant regions were diving into normal internet services (and sales were mainly in the regions), and the discs needed to be refreshed as the content became outdated.

Remember Dmitry Mottle?)
