Back on the track

Since all good things alway come to the end, I’m sitting at the office re-spinning again and again vivid memories of the holidays I had. I doubt I’d be able to put my feelings and impressions into coherent words so I won’t even try just believe me – it was spectacular and flamboyant in every […]

Two weeks of silence

I doubt that anyone out there would notice my absence but, anyway, just for a record, tomorrow I’m ducking out to Croatia for vocations. Have fun and enjoy your time, friends!

Redsnow is waiting for reboot

I always used either pawnage or quickpwn tools to unlock/jailbreak my iPhone but yesterday I gave a go to another tool from the iPhobe Dev-Team called RedSnow which provides similar functionality to quickpwn. Said and done, I installed required package, upgraded my phone to 3.0.1 release and fired up the redsnow thoroughly following the instructions. […]

Max Bruning’s course in Berlin, Germany

I’m bursting with envy… I do wish that one day we could have similar classes in my country.

Faster ::memstat

A new updated ::memstat mdb command is coming to Solaris. Read more details here. In short, the expected speedup ranges from 13X up to 500X in the best cases, so if you’re sitting behind M9000 you’ll certainly praise it.

Two weeks under the sun and the crystal clear sea

It’s now just a one week before my holidays and I returned back to Moscow to avoid last minute preparation hassle and to pack my stuff neatly and in accurate manner. Since I’ll be traveling with my wife, she is in her fifth month, and a 3 years-old son, there won’t be as many as […]

Is 6320 array ready disabled?

If you like me have to deal with Sun StorEdge 6320 array, I bet that at least once in your life you’ve seen it reporting that some of its disk are in “ready disabled” state. When I saw it for the very fist time I scratched my head extensively and the only remedy reported on […]

Why bother, Amazon?!

Two days ago I, as many out there, received an email from Amazon with an offer inside to make a pre-order for upcoming Snow Leopard. Gee whiz, I’d love to do that, thank you Amazon! But… Hey… Stop… I live in a country you don’t ship CDs/DVDs to. With a faint hope they’d changed something […]

Vyazemy on Sunday

It has become a good tradition to visit a new place on Saturday/Sunday and the last weekend wasn’t an exception from this pleasant rule. Instead of driving for hours this time we went to a place that was just around the corner – country estate Vyazemy. I’m not going to retell the history of this […]
