Kostas wrote me a e-mail telling that I should get my money. Also he said Harry called at work again. Isn't he too much persistant, this guy???

But I'll have to pass there for Elya brought a ZIP diskette with something for the web-site and I have to copy it somewhere on my HDD.

We decided to discuss the possibilities for Greg's gift on leaving us and I told that idea of picture with us all I had. Polina said it'll have to be something Odessa-reminding and I proposed to place him on the Duke's place. Excellent. Then we'll just collate our photos around him. Polina said there is a photo of Greg with Ukrainian 'bulava' in hands and that's just perfect. We asked Yaroslav and he sent us this photo, although it's not the best way he's holding it, as well as a bottle of cognac (which I think to replace on champaign Odessa), generally it's good.

I'm downloading the Quick Time from the morning - noticed that it downlaods less than yesterday in total - tried for a long time to discover where it writes it but succeeded only after midday - OK, now it HAVE to work if I only succeed to catch this file before it's removed by installation program! For I'm not crazy to download 8Mb every time and I want to have it home too. (really silly idea of Apple this type of installer!

Meanwhile I began to occupy myself with the structure for the web-site, while this QuickTime downloads so that I can place PageMaker above and Adobe Acrobat above... Nice coloured pencils Polina bought me - they're helping lot ;-)

Visited simonlebon@onelist.com to see if there are talks about my simonlebon@listbot.com disappearing. There were. I e-mailed this list as I think it contains most of my ex-subscribers. After that only read a disgusting discussion about how nasty I am even in list deletion - the one who believed in me was one of the modertors I corresponded with before. Thank God there are people who feel... But I couldn't resist to write a last bitter e-mail and say good bye to Duranies society... :-(

Quick Time downloaded the rest but didn't want to install further. Several times! Finally I saw its cashe file is much less than 8Mb and I had to launch the installation again and again (I was copying this file to another directory after each file download what I could see thank God and sense by HDD activity as it was writing itself to my HDD where the installation program was)

I was tired by the evening of this structure and decided to write to everyone in Odessa I still didn't - Alexey, his friend web-master who wanted to get to know me and got lost, Nana, Serguey in Uniservice and Dima Korchevsky who makes evry time on me an irresistible impression.

I was left alone int he office again again until 11pm almost and I was hoping for Quick Time to finish loading but in vain! I can't ahndle any more, so be it finished tomorrow (I hope this cash dont' disappear if it's next day!) and I'm gone home!
