I'm back!

Мы подняли новый сервер в Германии. Постепенно всё переедет туда. Картинки наконец починил, должны работать нормально. Надеюсь, больше мой блог (который я дико забросил в пользу твиттера) исчезать не будет.

Если нужен хостинг (за деньги), обращайтесь - сервер совсем неслабый, потянет что угодно. (8 GB RAM,4-ядерный Core I7)

Скорость до него обычно очень большая со всего мира. (Из дома у меня было 700 КБсек, из США - 7 мегабайт в секунду)

Blew all the polymers - Situation – 2, Visit to a surgeon in Riga

I'm back from Riga, where I talked to a surgeon. There are a few pieces of news.

1. The bad: the surgery costs 1280 lats + 100 already spent + 3 days in the hospital. There will probably be more expenses piling up (rehab?), so I should expect at least 1500 lats, which is $3000. If anyone has spare cash, send it my way.

Squandered all the polymers - 1, Skiing knee injury in Sauleskalns

For those who don't read my Twitter, or for those who need details, so I don't have to write them a hundred times.

On Sunday I was skiing at Sauleskalns. Or rather, I tried to. Almost immediately I "twisted" my leg and fell with severe pain. After I got up, the pain wasn't as strong anymore, but my leg was shifting from side to side at the knee, folding like a matchstick when I tried to stand on it.

Arizona – 3, Sedona

Sedona is a small tourist town (10,000), famous for its incredibly beautiful red rocks and soil. In the photos below, you can enjoy them to the fullest. We didn't do anything in particular in Sedona. Well, except we tried to buy a universal pass to the national parks, but they didn't have any.

We also saw an ad for super-cheap helicopter tours, like 20 bucks a person or something. Usually, a tour like that costs from 70, often even over 100. But we were out of time, so we had to keep driving. We liked Sedona a lot, I highly recommend visiting it to everyone if you're ever nearby. By the way, it's funny, but I once almost bought a Giant Sedona bike. Who could have known back then that I'd end up visiting this very Sedona.
