6th day


"South Korean firm is offering to clone pet dogs" - it instantly reminded me the not-so-good-but-fun-to-watch movie with Arnold. Here we go - RNL Bio - the world's first commercial dog cloning service.

So what can I say - the day is coming! How much further can we go?

Working week summary


Still can feel muscle and bone pain after soccer. Some very young arabs have kicked our asses pretty hard - it has been clear from the begining that they like this game. Around 8PM all fields were rented. Still it is nice to remember young days.

Have tried Korean food - strange shit! The meat has been one of the best I had in ages, but vegetables were undescribable and tasted the same. Like cut socks or something. The service has been superb.

Washed clothes in the laundry, which is run by the guy from pakistan. I was surprised, but received all of them back. for seven shirts and 1 pair of trousers I have paid 17 SR and received them packet nicely.

Finished "Friday" with roasted steam chicken.

Lost in datacenter


Today I have visited datacenter of arabian telecom. Niiiiiice!!! Looks like paintball playing area or like old ruins from some 3d shooter: old monitors stacked near the wall, signs with "WARNING DO NOT ENTER SHOOT ON SIGHT" everywhere. The guard has checked everything very carefully, but after that surprised me by welcoming to Saudi and wishing me nice stay here in very warm way. If I had fallen on some rack - probably would left half or Saudi Arabia without internet and telecommunications. In the news - "Saudi is upgrading from dial-up to fiber and in the end of this year will replace 256kbps connections with 30mpbs links for almost the same price" (news in the paper regarding internet for private individuals).

That is the reason every boy writes a blog


Everytime I see some news like this - I feel some future in blogging (my personal):

"

Today, TechCrunch has a full-time staff of eight. This year, it hired a CEO. In August, 1.25 million people visited TechCrunch or its affiliated blogs at least once, according to comScore Inc. It brings in $240,000 per month in advertising, according to Arrington, and pulls in additional revenue from conferences and parties. Most important of all, TechCrunch is in the black.

"

and of course I think it will take me just few minutes per day to achieve this amount of money.
