Первое сентября… Школьнеги негодуют идя в школу, а у меня начинается второй сезон самоубийств.

Начало вполне оптимистичное – матан, ЛСД МСД и ООАиП, на котором нас обещали научить .NET и C#. И хоть мои убеждения – что .NET не_нужен (ввиду патентированности, и ограниченности платформы в стиле Microsoft (то есть под винду), тем более, что есть Java, которая по многим показателям лучше доты), однако, последние события с Oracle, и Java, может, и изменят картину разработки, хоть и маловероятно, что кардинально. А может, меня убедят в противоположном мнении? В конце-концов, обычно кодерам пофигу, каким методом заработывать бабло.

Несколько новых предметов: МСД – «Модели и структуры данных», который плавно перерастет в «Базы данных», и который – наше все, системное программирование, а также философия и психология. Да, да, такие нужные в повседневной жизни предметы.

В этом сезоне постараюсь вам дать больше лулзов, больше содержательных постов, и больше статей обо всем, о чем захочу… This Fall, Don’t miss.

А тем временем я себе поставил Windows 7. Мнение об оси неоднозначное, и пока еще формируется, так что, может, я напишу о ней позже.

Hi-ho! The thing that I’ve expected for a very long time. Few days ago I bought a terabyte HDD:

This is Western Digital SATA II Caviar Green (WD10EARS) Hard Disk Drive. I’ve set drive and worked with it a bit. It works perfect: ultra-quiet, fast and with full compatibility, even with my (four year old) computer. Bought here. The cheapest price I’ve found in Kharkiv.

Now I am at home. Maybe, in a month I will come back to Kharkiv and will write more about my new drive. I’m also thinking to upgrate my computer hardware, but I haven’t found proper hard yet. Maybe, you can offer 2 core 64 bit processor and 1 or 2 GB of DDR2 memory for my ASUS P5PL2 motherboard?

Two days ago I had a trip in the great Kharkiv city.  I saw classical «Zerkal’naya/Steklyannaya Struya» monument (Glass Jet?) a.k.a. Pamyatnik Pobedy (Victory Memorial):

And rave drifting men on the city Ploscha Svobody (Freedom Square):

It was a short advertisment of the upcoming Kharkov Drift Cup event.

And huge dinosaurs:

Moar you can see there (<–clickable). I’ve got a perfect mood and a lot of impressions that day. But, memory card in my photocamera (and then accumulator) wasn’t very rubber .

UPD: I’ve seen about ten weddings near the monument, and a lot of graduating student from medical university. And also today is Youth Day, tomorrow – Constitution Day! Happy holidays!

Today is the last day of my session. I’ve closed it and now I’m happy, because two months of free time 24/7 have begun. And I’m planning to spend it with maximal profit for myself. Especially, to improve mu intellectual and programming skills. Also, I congratulate myself and my groupmates with the end of the beginning (first course). First stage have been passed.

The result isn’t so epic as in previous session. Here they are (from higher to lower):

• Object-Oriented Analysis and Programming (Java) – 5A (excellent)
• Object-Oriented Analysis and Programming (semester work, C++) – 5A (excellent)
• Discrete Mathematics Basis – 5A (excellent)
• English – 5A (excellent)
• Ukrainian – 5A (excellent)
• Computer Schemotechnics – 5B (excellent)
• Physical Training – 5B (excellent)
• Higher Mathematics (math. analysis) – 3D (satisfactorily)

Wahaha, so I will not have bonus the next semester. Smart people can make right conclusion themselves, I don’t want to comment this.

In honour of this epic event, I change motto of my blog (temprorary) to such sarcastic:

DO NOT WANT to know MATHAN

(НЕ ХОТЕТЬ знать МАТАН)

See ya!

Yeah, vesterday was a day… A match. I wrote about it last post.

And what can I say? It’s… It’s… AWESOME. Rave, trash and carbon monoxide. All my stereotypes were broke. Football fans were cultural and I’ve returned home safe and sound .

I liked it. All people on match are so loud, so you cannot control yourself too. You begin to cry with them and actively support the team. Your normal state gets in such a stupid state, a state of other people, which surround you, and you are becoming as a part of the fan crew. It’s the best pastime after a hard and depressed week. And affair isn’t in «who will win» only, business is in a spirit of the crowd at all.

Ehr… As for the game, our won, 2:0 in benefit of Kharkiv Metalist. Details you can view on Metalist official website.

If you’ll ask: will you visit any football match in future, I’ll say yes.

Well, as you maybe guessed, I’ll visit football match «Metalist Kharkiv» vs. «Metalurg Donets’k» that will be on 24th April in Oblasny SportKomplex (OSK) Metalist. Actually, I’m not great football fan/player/expert, even more: this theme was never interesting to me, but, of course, I’ve played this game with guys from our yard, when I was a child, and sometimes.

So, why will I go there? The reason is to be well-beaten by football hooligans very simple: to see the stadium»rave» and, maybe, break all my conservative stereotypes about such kind events. Also I want to see: for what will people go to us on the upcoming Euro-2012 and what is the most awesome stadium is in our town and all Khariv region.

Итак, сегодня 8-е марта -  Международный женский день.

Всех дам-с с праздником! Желаю счастья, удачи, любви и терпения (в первую очередь, терпения нас и наших выходок ). Чтоб сбывались все ваши пожелания и мечты!

Тем временем в Харькове сегодня отличная погода! Хотя, вот уже несколько дней небо было затянуто тучами, и даже шел снег. Это точно что-то значит!

Ну а еще сегодня самый православный день памяти священномученика Поликарпа, а также 1-е и 2-е обретение главы Иоанна Предтечи.
