The British library has started transfer in to a digital format more than hundred thousand ancient books that were inaccessible to the general public before. Basically it is a question of XIX century books which were not republished any more, and their authors have frequently appeared to be forgotten. It is planned to scan daily about 50 thousand pages, scanning of first 25 million pages will take about two years, and for transfer of all collection in a digital format 30 terabyte will be required.

I’ve returned and I think that I have to post more often to receive comments.

On shall have to go I my business trip, although it will be not so far, but like it or not I must go there!

I tried to explain my boss that it is too late and not everything is ready – but he even doesn’t want to listen to me. Probably he just wants to get rid of me for some time.

Ok!.... let’s see who’ll be the winner.

Today I had my first bodybuilding training. Look at a photo which I have made in Athens. Ancient Greeks knew how to live. Handsome men! There is nothing that can prevent me to become the same. The truth to say the trainer has told, that tomorrow all my muscles will hurt. Well, it’s not terribly! Today I have got acquainted with one guy from Athens and we have communicated a little. It turned out, that I know about ancient Greeks very few things!

Thank you!

I'm so grateful to Foxbrush for helping with Linux!

Hogwarts-express

This morning famous Hogwarts express train has departed from the Northern railway station to travel around France. This event is carried out by the Warner Bros Pictures company that makes movies of J.K. Rowling’s books about a young magician Harry Potter. Harry Potter fans can see there Snape’s room, madam’s Pomfy’s first-aid post, there is even the Ministry Office. But those who wanted to get tickets for this train had to stand in an impressive line!

I haven’t seen anything related to Harry Potter in Athens. Absolutely nothing! Last summer we stayed at the Grande Bretagne. We were running around Athens three days. We visited almost every place there. But now I can remember only Acropolis.

life and travel

Here I’ll post about life and travel. I feel bored sitting on one place that is why I travel a lot – I travel every day through the internet!
