Вкратце: здесь теперь будет всё время на английском, для тренировки и для себя. На отписывание от дневника не обижусь. На тыканье в ошибки - тоже.Obviously, this diary looks totally abandoned, having the last entry on December two years ago. Time is passing, circumstances are changing, interests and aims are shifting. You can get greatly enthralled with new project, new ideas, new potentials - till you become disappointed with how much efforts you put in and how poor results are. Look around with frustration - and disappointment will spread to the whole direction you are involved in, whole organization you work for, and, for some extent, the whole society you live in. Yes, I've left KL recently. I did like this company when I was just hired. There was something in those green walls, those narrow corridors, in those metal louvers, something like the spirit, the atmosphere of the old soviet research institute. It all got lost somehow nowadays, in my humble own perception. Maybe it was just the company growth, maybe it was just the new course - but for me this course is toward lag and degradation. Even worse, the whole country seems be moving in such a direction as well. So the question arises, is it a right place for an ambitious female programmer? However, I can't leave now, and I can't leave alone. However, I can start trying to raise my English level (hopefully, not only mine).

.Net sucks, and so does Windows and M$, I belive now. Most of the time our home computer is on presently, it runs under Ubuntu Linux, most the code written on it is written on Python. Vova started working with Django web in FinTech, and my new choice is Data Science and possibly Machine Learning one day. Once again, this area is developed in English mostly.

Being unemployed I'm not eager to spend much money for expensive paid courses yet, at least until I'll need pass exam for international language certificate. There are a lot of free sources, texts, videos, tutorials, etc. Premium Lingualeo subscription didn't cost me too much, so I will go this way. Lingualeo allows to memorize words, to learn grammar, to watch TED Talks and to read texts on a wide area of themes. Retelling of theese texts aloud will go for conversational practice, I hope ))) And then, writing skills remains only.

Yeah, writing turns out not to be easier than listening and speaking. Though you are not forced to think and react quickly, the problem of formulating and articulating your thoughts remains, and the requirements for correctness increase, and grammar, and spelling, and vocabulary... Find the right words, write them right, in the right order, eh... Not far and not fast can I go without Google Translate on hand. Anyway, I have to work on that, and I will.

Thus, there is a need to write down thoughts, there are thoughts, and the thoughts are asocial somewhat, so the asocial network is the right platform for them (Oh, no, I can't spoil my Facebook an LinkedIn guises! And in VK I have widely different acquaintances...). I see, the state of affairs here is not so good currently and as returnee participant I have to think about possible future donations, despite being moderate about donations at this moment... I'll ponder, okay.

Welcome back, https.
