Blog of Leonid Mamchenkov

I don’t know if this was posted by someone else somewhere else before (probably it was), but that’s what I came up with yesterday, while explaining our password policy to one of the (male) colleagues.

Passwords are like women:

• you should have as many of them as you can
• you should change them as often as you can
• you should never share them with another man

Judging by reaction, I got the point across.

Once in a while I go through my Flickr favourites (unfortunately no RSS feed yet).  And every time I do so, I am amazed by this or that - models, lights, moments, post-processing, etc.  Today, I was impressed (again) by the beauty of women.  So much, in fact, that I decided to share the feeling via this blog.

 

And here is another one, totally different:

There are, of course, plenty of more, but most of those pictures don’t allow for bloggers to re-post.  So you’ll have to see them on Flickr. Because if you don’t, you are missing out.  Really.

Today is a major international holiday, although most of the internation community has no idea about it. Internation Women’s Day is a huge holiday in Russia and many other countires of the ex-Soviet platform. It’d probably be a good thing if it was better recognized worldwide.

Anyway, I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all women of the world with his holiday. I wish them all happyness, love, and general well-being. Fight for your rights, make your choices, but also, please, stay as beautiful and pretty as you all are.

Thank you all for balancing out our crazy half of the world! Please, stay with us.

I had a revelation this morning. It was about life expectancy.

In most countries women have higher life expectancy than men. That basically means that women live longer. The reasons may vary. But one of them got stuck in my head like a dream or something:

Women generally don’t drink ten pints of beer every Friday in a heavily smoked pub and then street race their way back home. Like their husbands do.

Purhaps it has something to do with life expectancy. Purhaps it doesn’t. I just liked how it sort of appeared in my head and got stuck there.
