Dollar has established a new peak maximum. Now it’s 36.42 RUB! It’s also odd to see, that such rise was a rapid one. The day before it was about 35.60. A 0.8 rise is an unusual event. And the troubles are not over, some people say.

Another sad statistics. Over 300,000 people in Russia lost their jobs in January 2009, officials state. And now the number of unemployed is over 6,000,000 people, which is almost 9% of the Russian workforce. The numbers are supposed to rise to 8,000,000 people by this summer! I’m wondering what all these people are going to do to support themselves and their families…

In recent days you’ve might noticed, that my regularity of postings had slowed down. I’m considering making two-three posts a week in the future.

This is not only the issue of time management, but rather the focus of attention, which has shifted a bit towards content quality. I am starting podcast project in a near future and this should become one of the main priorities. Some time later I believe I’d restore a fast paced tempo, not at the time, though.

I don’t know if this release of my favourite blog platform brightens up the design, but what it really did to the mechanics is the speed improvement. I can see it naked eyes, that the whole dashboard and blog viewing is rendered much faster, than before.

Once again, maybe it’s just my case, but still, good job, WP team!

I was about to write a story here, but after spending some time on doing other things, it just doesn’t come to me anymore! This is the feeling, that you’re missing some important point, and all the words are so wrong, that it is better not to put them down. Well, I do remember what I was about to write, but not sure how to put it right.

Sometimes, when I’m away, or on the road, it strikes me, for example, that I need to visit this site, or write that in my blog. But when I finally see the browser and an empty page, my mind becomes as blank as the address bar… Is it a sign to start to worry about my mental health?
