Car audio systems


Today I have bought a new caraudio system into my car. I have driven without music for fourth months. Some times I used my smartphone, some times I used radio in moble phones of my friends and often I heard silence.

I had a budgete only 4000 rubles (honestly, less than 3000). Where a modern man can choose a technical device? Certainly, in the Internet. There are many devices from free of charge to many millions dollars. I have studied information in the Internet for two days. In the end I've chosen model Sony CDX-GT427UE.

Tomorrow will be the first day of loud music.

Site fotki.com doesn't work correctly

Some times I need to upload new photos to web-galery fotki.com. Why I choose this site? This is russian offer unlimited space for photos without money for users from Russia. It's the main criteria.

Here is the link http://public.fotki.com/apih

But at night it is imposible upload files to the site. May be South and North America use the Internet and especially this web site? I think it is not big problem, but it is discomfort. In the morning it is no problem to act with site.

Business trip to Kazan



Last week I had a business trip to Kazan.

I'm an system analytics and program manager. The main goal of my work is to make decisions about necessity usage of Intranet web portals and to manage execution of all tasks. The result must satisfy a customer. This time my company sold Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 to Kazan State Technical University. And of cause it is located in KAZAN.
I wanted to visit that city early, but I had no free time, had no free money, etc. My dream was executed. I'd been there for 3 days.
It's very old city. Kazan was founded in 1005 year! Three years ago citizens celebrated city's birthday one hundred years old. In the center of the city locate the citadel. There are many small old houses around it. That was ancient Kazan. I like old buildings, especialy when thay after reconstruction. New buildings is made only in style of old city, old architecture. Some times it is difficult to tell the diffirences between old and new buildings.
There is leaving about 1.2 million citizens. Many of them seem to be calm and happy.
I love this city.
Many photos is lied here http://public.fotki.com/apih/kazan/

Intercourse among workmates



Today I took an interview from our future employee. We need superman for purposes of intergration some prohram systems. CV corresponded to reality. Competitor was a woman. She realy knew thing which described in her CV. She wanted to learn new technologies and to spend free time to analyze our actual state of affairs.

After an interview my chief asked me: "What do you think about the competitor? Can she replace a retired man? Can she DOES the same job? And can she DOES the same job as good as a retired man?". The latest question was very difficult for me. In condition of our job's chaos, in condition of our secrets of doing work, in condition of small management radius... I don't know what previous man did at work!!! YES! I saw his job description, but I don't know what he did at all. And now I don't know what job will be for new emloyee. It's a secret.

It's difficult to work, where situation looks like a circus: clowns (workmates), wild animals (bosses) and rope-walker (me). Imaginate: me in the air, above the cage with clowns and animals, and my main goal is don't fall into that cage. Every day action repeats.

I don't know why I haven't direct chief. I don't know why bigbosses instead of real work assign other type of stupid work. I don't know why some employees don't come to work. Today I accidentally learned about maternity leave of workmate. I think it's not as secret as atomic bomb to say every week about main goals at work, say about news in the department and in the organization, ask news from our life...

What do you think about real intercourse among workmates?
