One of the good things I carried out of living in Cyprus is Christmas celebration. I came to realize that it’s not a religios holiday of any sort. It’s just a date for a major celebrations. Some people prefer to have family dinners, others go to pubs, yet others ignore it all together. But the scale of the holiday is so huge that the spirit is in the air, and neither you, neither me, nor anyone else can do anything about it.

To all of you who appreciate the holiday - Merry Christmas!

To all those of you who don’t - you lose!

Happy holidays either way.

The older you get, the more reasons you have to celebrate. A whole bunch of those reasons are birthdays. When the baby is very very young, every day of his life is celebrated. Until he gets up to a week or two old. Than weeks start to count. Slowly, monthes and weeks merge together for more reasons. Than it’s years. Than decades. The quarters of the century. Etc. The funny thing is that you can still keep track of days, weeks, and month - not only the years.

Maxim has finished his 26-th week today.

Once again, today is the last Friday of July, which means that today is Sysadmin’s Day! Congratulations to all system, network, database, etc administrators out there. Today is your day. I wish you all receive some appreciation from your users and management. Don’t stay in the office for too long. Go out and celebrate!
