Just after I set up and got to work a local SVN repository thinking how the thing is really sloooooow, I came across a brilliant sentence in the Uncle Bob blog: " ... there’s all the fiddling around with time accounting tools, and horrific source code control systems that perform like a salamander crawling through frozen mud" . Excellent!

My wife and I have just measured our blood pressure. What's really strange that she and me have exactly same value - 118 by 74! I don't really know what it could mean...

It's been so hot for last week here in Moscow that I started to remember the Russian South :( I hate heat since I was a baby. However, it was amazing to cycle 60 kilometers in +38C several years ago... The face was partially white with salt :)

The first blossomed tree has been seen in Moscow today! :) Spring is coming...

Buying a new PC belongs to the most exciting things in the World :) It's so beautiful, fast and cool...

I feel really wise myself :) Don't wanna ask me why? So, I've been delaying learning .NET Workflow Foundation so much time. It's been very wisely, as the forth version of the library has been completely rewritten by the Microsoft and it's not compatible with the 3.x one. The designer works in WPF (smoooothly), the architecture is elegant and (the last, but not least) the library in general is 10 to 100 times faster than the previous version. So, I've started think where this new wonderful WF could be fit in my current project.

I'm quite amazed after reading "Microsoft Azure in Action" book (Manning MEAP program) two weeks ago. It's a really promising technology with, no doubt, big future. It's a pity it's not yet available in Russia (the country isn't even planned...)
