Fortunately I live close enough to the beach and still have time to
enjoy that. :-)  Being able to ride a bike to the beach for a break
and then return to the keyboard refreshed is what I was longing
for for ages.  And the summer is gorgeous!  I've already forgotten
what the Russian winter is and got a faint feeling of unreality when
a friend from Moscow brought a handful of glittering snow to show me
over Skype.

the new generation of file systems are too tempting.  What is Unix
about, after all, if not total controllability and extensibility?
